The spectacular all-new Nissan Leaf unveiled at Blackstone Motors. Derek Reilly, NEBO.ie and Content and PR Director explaining the merits of the car to prospective buyers at a lauch event in Blackstone Motors last Thursday evening.Blackstone Motors in Cavan Town offered a sneak peak of the all-new electric Nissan LEAF - a full two months before its official launch in Ireland where it’s expected to become a massive hit with EV drivers.
Sales consultant Paddy Donnery is optimistic it will do well in the Irish market. “We already have enquiries for it!” he revealed to the Celt.
The 75kWh battery version has a range of up to 622 kilometres, while the 52kWh battery offers above 440 kilometres range. “Electric cars are the way forward,” Mr Donnery says.
“It goes further on one charge, it charges faster when you need to recharge, which is great news for anyone thinking of making the switch to electric driving.”
With a quoted motorway range of up to 330kms at 130kph and up to 430 kilometres at 110kph, and an energy consumption as low as 13.8 kWh/100km, longer journeys can be accomplished with fewer charging stops.
The new LEAF was completely revamped with a sleeker and sharper design and integrated connected technology. Mr Donnery also highlights the new NissanConnect onboard technology, which offers voice activated Google Maps with In Car Route Planner, Google Assistance for hands free control over navigation, media, climate, apps and more.
Its 3D Around View Monitor, Invisible Hood View and Front Wide View make parking and navigating tight spaces easier and safer.
The all-new LEAF has been designed to meet the everyday needs of famili es whether that is the school run, heading to work, or enjoying a weekend away or longer holiday trips. There is plenty of room inside and it is family-ready with a spacious cabin and 437 litres of cargo space. From February on, the new LEAF will be waiting in the Nissan showrooms, available for a test-drive. Pre-orders are taken as of now.
