Is this the next-generation of electrification? Nissan has just revealed its 2018 LEAF Nismo - a battery-powered hatchback that will bring sport-tuned performance to the highway. Prepare, Tacoma, for a new kind of EV.

As CNET explains, the 2018 LEAF Nismo fuses everyday efficiency with staggering power. Anchored still by Nissanâ€™s signature 40-kWh lithium-ion battery (which yields 147 HP and 236 lb.-ft of torque), this spry platform races from 0 to 60 in a mere 7.5 seconds. It now rests on 18-inch alloy wheels, with Continental ContiSportContact tires delivering wide treads that grip curves; while new advanced shock absorbers promise a smooth ride, effortlessly countering friction through their hydraulic-pressured designs. The traction control system has been subtly tweaked to provide greater force distribution for the FWD (this eliminates under-steerage, allowing drivers to maintain a seamless highway arc); and the low center of gravity promotes athletic responses. The car measures a lean 176-inches long, 71-inches wide, and 62-inches high: promoting rally-worthy handling on every turn.

Through this the 2018 LEAF Nismo proves a dynamic force in Tacoma. Donâ€™t fret, though, EV fans: this platform will still deliver economy, with its battery system generating 125 MPGe in the city and 100 MPGe on the highway. An estimated drive-range of 151 miles is also anticipated.

With the release of the 2018 LEAF Nismo Nissan brings peerless power to the hybrid market. To learn more about this platform contact our team today!
