2019 Nissan Leaf long-term review: Introduction

Nissan has sold more than 320,000 Leafs (Leaves?) globally since the first generation launched in 2010, so it's not a stretch to call the Japanese company one of the innovators in electric vehicle development. Certainly as we know it in 2019 anyway. Chief among the most impressive numbers related to the second-generation variant now on sale in Australia are the 40kW/h battery, a claimed 270km driving range, and the price – $49,990 before on-road costs.
