The refreshed Leaf will be available to Australian buyers in the second half of 2022.
The Nissan Leaf electric hatchback is getting a series of styling updates for 2022. The new model goes on sale on in Europe next month before arriving in Australia in the second half of 2022. Local pricing and specification will be released closer to the time, although pricing in Europe remains unchanged from the previous iteration Leaf.
Changes include intricate exterior styling touches, new 16 and 17-inch alloy-wheel designs and two new colour choices (Pearl Blue and Magnetic Blue) to join the existing line-up of five monotone and five two-tone options.
There are no changes under the metal, with the 2022 Leaf continuing to offer a choice of 39kWh or 59kWh batteries, for ranges of 270km and 385km respectively. Trim levels will continue as before for the 39kWh Leaf and for the 59kWh ‘Leaf e+’.
Familiar technology such as the ‘ProPILOT’ semi-autonomous driving system, ‘e-Pedal’ regenerative braking and ‘NissanConnect’ infotainment, with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, along with the NissanConnect Services app and the ability to link your Leaf to Amazon Alexa smart-home devices.
Further details for Australia will be released closer to its arrival.
