Following the news of Nissanâ€™s forthcoming Leaf e+ electric vehicle, which will launch later this spring, our team wanted to take the opportunity to share more about the EVâ€™s enhanced driver assist and safety features. If you were hoping to see ProPILOT Assist and e-Pedal on the e+, good news â€“ both are standard equipment, along with other advanced technologies.

ProPILOT Assist is a key player in Nissanâ€™s Intelligent Driving strategy. This system is described as an in-lane semi-autonomous driving technology that can automatically adjust the distance to the vehicle ahead or help keep the LeafÂ centered in its lane. If the car in front stops, ProPILOT Assist will automatically apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a halt â€“ it will even keep the vehicle in place if the driverâ€™s foot is off the brake. When traffic restarts, the e+ will resume when the driver touches the steering wheel-mounted ProPILOT Assist switch again or lightly presses the accelerator. The goal of the system is to reduce stress when behind the wheel, especially in high-traffic situations.

Further enhancing the Leaf's on-road experience is e-Pedal, which allows the driver to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop using only the accelerator pedal. With the e+â€™s additional power and increased mass, Nissan reprogrammed the e-Pedal software for smoother operation and enhanced pedal feedback, which is especially beneficial when maneuvering the vehicle in reverse. Other advanced technologies on the e+ will include Intelligent Lane Intervention, Lane Departure Warning and Intelligent Emergency Braking, as well as Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Intelligent Around View Monitor.
