2. Added ProPilot adaptive cruise system
3. The high-end version is equipped with a 62kWh battery pack with a maximum cruising range of 385 kilometers
Nissan LEAF Leaf, as one of the earliest batch of hot-selling new energy vehicles, has accumulated a good reputation in Europe and the United States over the years, so the model has maintained the rhythm of small upgrades for many years, and this time is no exception, and the 2022 model has a certain upgrade inside and outside.
On the basis of the original, the new car is equipped with a more fashionable low wind resistance wheel, and the body surround is upgraded to a sporty shape, with a new flat Nissan logo, making it more suitable for the current era in terms of appearance, thus attracting more consumers.
However, the interior of the lack of a large LCD screen still shows a certain sense of age, after all, LEAF Leaf has not been replaced for a long time, and the biggest upgrade of the 2022 model is the addition of ProPilot adaptive cruise system, which will alleviate fatigue during long-distance travel.
In terms of the most critical cruising range, the 2022 Leaf is still available in 40kWh and 62kWh battery capacity, and the WLTP working range is 270 km and 385 km respectively, which has a certain gap with the current mainstream competitors.
It has to be said that as long as there is market demand, the development and iteration speed of products will reach new heights, in fact, Nissan LEAF was the world's best-selling pure electric vehicle in the past few years. But then after Tesla Model 3 swept the world at an unstoppable pace and sold more than one million vehicles in a short period of time, Nissan LEAF lost its attention.
Although the Nissan LEAF Leaf currently has more than 570,000 global cumulative sales, the latest data show that Wuling Hongguang MINIEV sales have exceeded 550,000 units, and it is expected to surpass nissan LEAF Leaf to become the second largest cumulative sales in history in March 2022.
Nissan's original LEAF Leaf
Holding a great advantage, but catching up from the lead, the main reason behind this is because Nissan has slightly delayed in the rhythm of new energy research and development. Leaf Leaf does have great advantages in terms of safety and reliability, but in the face of new models with longer mileage and more innovative shapes, it is naturally difficult for consumers to refuse.
However, Nissan has now woken up, and Ariya, which is about to usher in a domestic listing, is a representative work, which brings a more advanced car experience on the basis of inheriting the reliability and safety advantages of the Leaf, which the professor is still looking forward to.
There is no doubt that pure electric will be the future development direction of automakers around the world, as for the traditional manufacturers represented by Nissan, can they seize this opportunity? It's still up to them to see how their products evolve. But the professor believes that if they can maintain their advantages in reliability and practicality, then they still have a good chance of winning.
