JAKARTA - Nissan plans to introduce the third generation Leaf next year. Before the launch, the manufacturer prepared all aspects by testing the road of one of its electric vehicle lines. This is evidenced by the latest car being caught on camera for the first time.

Unlike before with the form of a crossover, the latest generation Leaf has drastically changed to an electric SUV which will later coexist with the successors of Juke and Qashqai in Europe.

Launching from Autocar, Tuesday, October 29, the car has the same shape as the Chill-Out concept introduced last year. The design looks sleek and minimalist, but emphasizes high-level digital functionality.

By maintaining the same overall silhouette as the concept, this is useful for maximizing aerodynamics in an effort to distance the distance to this car.

However, the possibility of a difference between the production version and the concept will lie in more conventional LED lights at each end, compared to digital graphics on Chill-Out.

Although the interior is not yet visible, there is the potential for Nissan to bring Ariya's interior design to the latest generation Leaf with a more minimal dashboard with the presence of a row of haptic buttons for temperature controllers.

It is likely that this car will have the same battery pack options as those used in the Nissan alliance Renault on the SCenic EV model, namely 60 kWh and 87 kWh.

For a battery with a capacity of 60 kWh, the latest generation Leaf has a range of 418 km and 87 kWh with a distance of up to 610 km in one charge.

Speaking of performance, this model will have various options with electric motors on the front doubles measuring 168 dk and 215 dk. However, there is the potential that the latest Leaf will have the same double electric motor as zAriya e-4orsce with a choice of power reaching 389 dk and 429 dk.

The Sakura country manufacturer has started production tests in this model starting last summer and is expected to be mass assembled in early spring 2025. Just like before, the latest Leaf will be assembled at the Sunderland plant, England.
