According to a recent online article on CleanTechnica.com, Nissan has released unofficial details about the upcoming 2019 Leaf.
 
While speaking at a press event regarding the brand’s involvement in Formula E racing, Brian Maragno, Nissan’s Director of EV Marketing and Sales, was quoted as saying that the forthcoming 2019 Leaf will feature a larger battery and a more robust 200 horsepower motor. 
 
 
He added, “When you have a bigger battery with more capacity, it just opens up the door to be able to have more output. A larger capacity battery lends itself towards two things. One is obvious: more range. The other one, which is maybe a little less obvious, but equally as true, is additional horsepower and output.”
 
An official range for the 2019 Leaf has not been released, but some EV speculators have commented that it should drive for at least 200 miles on a single charge – if not more. 
 
Nissan is also being coy about an official release date; however, our team at Kirkland Nissan expects that a launch date will be shared as early as this fall or as late as next spring.
 
Until then, why not visit our dealership in Seattle, Washington, for a test drive in a 2018 Nissan Leaf? With its current 40-kWh battery, 142-horsepower motor and an 150 mile range, it might be all that you need in an all-electric vehicle.
