Europe's best-selling electric vehicle now delivers up to 155 miles of driving range on a single charge, 25% further than before, and comes with the latest evolution of the NissanConnect EV infotainment system on Acenta and Tekna trims.

This new system includes improvements to the remote defrost feature that is perfectly presented in Nissan's film, as well as superior functionality and greater connectivity.

Gareth Dunsmore, Director of Electric Vehicles, Nissan Europe said: "The new Nissan LEAF 30kWh is a great example of Nissan's pioneering and innovative spirit. We constantly strive to push the boundaries of what is possible with zero emission technology - going further so our customers can go further."

The one-minute-long film also highlights the reliability and durability of the new Nissan Leaf 30kWh. Nissan say that the popular electric vehicle undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it is capable of withstanding even the most challenging driving conditions.

Nissan also offers a specially engineered Nordic Pack which includes a battery heater to counter effects of the extreme low temperatures.

The Nissan Leaf 30kWh has a potential range of 155 miles, allowing it to travel further on a single charge than any of its rivals, including the Kia Soul EV, Volkswagen Golf GTE, and pure-electric BMW i3.
