Next two thousand eighteen Nissan Leaf teaser sketch; electrified car debuts Sept. Five
The global debut of the two thousand eighteen Nissan Leaf electrical car is just a month away, and now another teaser pic has been released.
This one’s a design sketch showcasing a drawing of the car’s side profile, suitably shaded to obscure some of the details.
You can compare it to a shot of the actual vehicle, captured last week in Norway while a two thousand eighteen Leaf was being filmed for an advertisement.
The release that accompanied Nissan’s latest photo concentrates on the aerodynamics of the second-generation Leaf.
It’s lower to the ground, for better high-speed stability, Nissan says, with other design features that stabilize it in crosswinds.
The latest Leaf, the company suggests, was “inspired by airplane wings,” with a form that enables a “symmetric air flow that helps it slice through the air for a smoother, more efficient journey.”

Previous teasers have shown the two thousand eighteen Leaf’s headlights—which are no longer the “bug eyes” of the 2011-2017 model—its grille, and an instrument display.
From the Leaf filmed in Norway, it shows up that the earlier car’s distinctive form and lines have been supplanted by a more conventional design that uses current Nissan styling cues.
Whether the two thousand eighteen Leaf is a strenuously redesigned update of the very first generation or an all-new vehicle top to bottom remains to be determined.
Similarities in the form of the rear window opening have suggested to some Leaf owners that it may be the former, but we’ll have to wait a month to find out one way or the other.

The fresh Leaf is expected to suggest a pair of battery options, at least one of them suggesting a range of two hundred miles or more to challenge with the Chevrolet Bolt EV, the Tesla Model Trio, and other long-range electrical cars priced at less than $40,000.
In June 2015, then-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn demonstrated a “Leaf R&D” prototype that housed a 60-kilowatt-hour battery delivering two hundred to two hundred fifty miles of range under a first-generation Leaf figure.
Ghosn announced in January that the two thousand eighteen Leaf would suggest a ProPilot Assist feature, which permits the car to drive itself under certain limited conditions while the driver monitors it.
That feature is likely to spread quickly across other Nissan vehicles, but it shows up that the fresh Leaf will be the car that pioneers it for the U.S. market—though possibly not right at launch.

Open questions for the next Leaf also include which DC fast-charging standard it uses—the current CHAdeMO or the CCS format used by all German makers and all U.S. makers except Tesla—and the maximum rate of that charging.
Thus far, Nissan has not released any specifications for battery capacity, motor power, or acceleration for the next generation of its pioneering electrified car.
The global debut of the two thousand eighteen Nissan Leaf will take place in Japan on September six (or in the evening of September five for North Americans).
