Test drive the world’s first 100% electric Car of the Year 2011 at Geneva Motorshow!

This is it – the future. And it feels great. Whisper-quiet driving. Absolutely no odorous petrol or oil. And a surprising acceleration. The all-electric Nissan LEAF is a huge innovation. It features an advanced lithium-ion battery that stores twice as much energy as the previous generation. So you can drive for up to 109 miles between charges. The battery charges up in 8 hours via a 200V outlet. But a quick charger gives you 80% power in just half an hour. And the combimeter tells you at a glance how much range you have left. As well as showing you the nearest charge-up station. It even tells you how well you’re managing energy, based on your driving style. Just because it’s all-electric doesn’t make the Nissan LEAF less of a car. You get an instantly available 280Nm torque from the AC motor -- enough to get you going up to 90 mph. Optimised aerodynamics and traction control means the Nissan LEAF handles beautifully... while looking great too. You can even program the Nissan LEAF’s climate control system from your PC or iPhone. But feeling is believing. And you can experience the excitement of the Nissan LEAF’s whisper-quiet performance at the Geneva Motor Show. Test-drive it at our 2500m2 space dedicated to electric vehicles, and find out what it feels like to be part of the future. Dive into an eye-popping 3D experience to learn more about this cutting-edge technology. This is the very first time an electric vehicle has been chosen Car of the Year.  And naturally, it’s the Nissan LEAF – so comfortable, so ecological, and so much fun to drive.
