The newly-announced 2018 Nissan LEAF represents an overhaul of the already stellar all-electric vehicle. Fresh technology on the model, including the ProPILOT Assist feature, pushes this EV to bold heights and looks poised to change the way Seattle drives.

While there are many new technologies included in the 2018 Nissan LEAF, one at the forefront of incredible engineering is the aforementioned ProPILOT Assist functionality. It’s an autonomous driving mode that uses Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) to sense and respond to vehicles around the car. Specifically, once the driver sets a speed, the system will adjust that setting depending on how automobiles around it are moving.



ProPILOT Assist is more than just your typical intelligent cruise control, however. It also automatically handles vehicle steering, keeping the LEAF properly centered within the lane it’s traveling through. With this kind of futuristic tech, it’s no wonder that Asako Hoshino, head of Nissan Japan operations, says that the car has received more than 9,000 preorders in that country alone thus far.

If you want to be one of the first in the States to drive the 2018 Nissan LEAF, call us at Kirkland Nissan today!
