Get ready, Seattle and North America! The all-new 2018 Nissan LEAF is almost here, scheduled for a release early this year in this territory. However, in the interim, aficionados on our side of the pond can look on eagerly as production has kicked off on the zero-emissions wonder car in the United Kingdom.â€¨â€¨

Nissan announced this week that the very first LEAF EVs are coming out of the plant in Sunderland, UK. The initial vehicles will be delivered to European customers in February. Each will be imbued with the latest technology, including improvements over the 2017 model in regards to design, driver assistance, and range.

â€¨â€¨The new LEAF delivers a range of 150 miles on a single battery charge, with performance increased to a total of 147 horses and 236-lb.-ft. of torque. Thereâ€™s also intelligent design throughout. ProPILOT Advanced Driving Assistance monitors surrounding vehicles and automatically controls the distance to the automobile traveling ahead, as well as centering the car within the lane. Additionally, the new e-Pedal is standard on all models. It enables operators to start, stop, increase and decrease speed by using only the accelerator, simplifying the experience.
