Nissan Leaf
THE Nissan Leaf was once a pioneering car in the race towards electrification. It was the first mass-produced electric car, offering a relatively low-cost package in the plugin midsize hatchback class decades before rivals, and was a glowing testament to the brand's ambition of bringing EV motoring to the mainstream. However, the speed at which the market has advanced has made life tricky for the Leaf, so Nissan has reacted by giving us an all-new model - and this one isn't resting on its laurels.
