Nissan revealed the new Leaf 2018 earlier this year, an extensively redesigned version of the best-selling electric car in Europe.

It received a massive design overhaul, taking inspiration from the Micra 2017 and other models currently in the manufacturer’s range notably the V-Motion grille fitted at the front.

Many people at the time believed that Nissan would be giving the car a larger battery pack and over 200 miles of range, so it could compete with the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3.

Nissan instead opted to give the car a 40kWh battery pack which allowed 150 miles of range.

With the extensive redesign and improvements made to the Nissan Leaf for the 2018 model, many will have been slightly underwhelmed by the car’s range.
