At least in Portugal, Spain and France you can no longer order the entry-level Visia of the Nissan Leaf.

With fewer trim levels to choose from, production complexity and costs are reduced. No need to waste time and resources to produce a trim level that customers don’t want. Acenta has always been the most popular trim level on the Nissan Leaf and it’s now the entry-level trim.

I see this as good news, furthermore Nissan is not only adjusting the trim levels, but also the prices. Let’s see the evolution in Portugal.

February

Visia : 29.150 € (Nissan never intended to sell much of this trim level)

: 29.150 € (Nissan never intended to sell much of this trim level) Acenta : 28.700 €

: 28.700 € N-Connecta : 30.150 €

: 30.150 € Tekna: 32.650 €

April

Visia : 29.150 € -> 30.600 €

: 29.150 € -> 30.600 € Acenta : 28.700 € -> 30.150 €

: 28.700 € -> 30.150 € N-Connecta : 30.150 € -> 31.250 €

: 30.150 € -> 31.250 € Tekna: 32.650 € -> 33.500 €

May

Visia : 29.150 € -> 30.600 € -> terminated

: 29.150 € -> 30.600 € -> terminated Acenta : 28.700 € -> 30.150 € -> 29.150 €

: 28.700 € -> 30.150 € -> 29.150 € N-Connecta : 30.150 € -> 31.250 € -> 30.250 €

: 30.150 € -> 31.250 € -> 30.250 € Tekna: 32.650 € -> 33.500 € -> 32.500 €

Considering that Nissan is about to discontinue Leaf’s gas counterpart (the Pulsar), the Leaf will be alone in this segment. Nissan seems now focused in making this model a success, even before the arrival of the long-range version – that’s coming next year.
