You’ve heard of the Nissan LEAF before, right? Great! And of course you thought it was awesome, I mean, an electric car? A completely electric car? I mean, it doesn’t even have an MPG estimate because there are no gallons to have miles per! Seriously, like, the Leaf is pretty sweet. In pretty much every way. I love it a lot. Can you tell? WELL, have I got some news for you! The 2018 Leaf is premiering on the 5th of this month… so like. That’s soon. That is so soon. That means that we will have the all-new 2018 Leaf before we know it. I am SO EXCITED.
Listen, there’s so much to love about the new Leaf. I don’t even have all the facts about the vehicle yet but like, I still know that there’s SO MUCH. The new Nissan Leaf comes with the all-new e-Pedal technology. This means that your accelerator pedal can do basically everything for you (if you flip the switch to have it do so) from speeding up, slowing down, and braking. Seriously. One pedal. It’s amazing!! Of course, you should use the regular old brake pedal for aggressive braking situations, but if you’re on a leisurely drive, that e-Pedal has you covered.
Lots of websites are sharing rumors about the new Leaf, but I don’t want to get too excited. I think we can really expect a lot of similar things from the 2017 Leaf, but the 2018 has definitely been redesigned to look better than ever. We should expect shorter charging times and a longer range than before, but I really don’t know anything for sure. What if it comes with the ability to drive itself on the highway? That would be SUPER awesome, but also it would mean that the future has arrived and I don’t know if I’m ready for that kind of commitment.
Regardless, I am super jazzed for the release of the new Leaf. September 5th, folks!! Then we’ll get all the details we could ever want. I am checking every day, just in case they surprise us. That would be great.
