Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has unveiled a behind-the-scenes look at the development of its all-new LEAF electric vehicle through a newly released three-part video series. The short films highlight the vision and work of the teams behind the planning, design, and engineering of what is described as a truly third-generation electric vehicle.
Having sold nearly 700,000 units globally since the LEAF’s debut in 2010, Nissan has drawn heavily on over a decade of experience and customer feedback in shaping the latest model. Across those years, owners of the pioneering electric vehicle are estimated to have collectively driven close to 28 billion kilometres, providing a rich foundation of data and real-world usage that informed the creation of the next-generation LEAF.
Described by Nissan as one of its core “heartbeat models,” the LEAF remains a symbol of the company’s bold innovation strategy. Since its launch as the first mass-market electric vehicle, it has been a global ambassador of Nissan’s commitment to doing what others shy away from, combining technological innovation with practical design to redefine what an EV can be.
