Nissan reduces price of all-electric Leaf by €3,000 in Europe

Nissan is making zero-emission mobility more affordable by reducing the price of the all-electric Nissan Leaf by €3,000 in European markets. The change comes as part of a global effort to make the Leaf more affordable in the pioneering electric vehicle's three main
markets of Japan, Europe and the United States.

In addition to the reduction in the ex-works price, customers can also benefit from further attractive local finance offers. The new price is effective immediately, ahead of the mid-year arrival of an updated version of the Leaf, the world's best-selling electric car.

This is on top of incentives offered by governments and regional authorities and means a customer could pay as little as €25,990 in France or £23,490 in the UK for a brand new example.

"There is no doubt that Nissan Leaf is a revolution and existing customers are passionate in their belief that zero-emission mobility is not the future, but is here now," said Paul Willcox, Senior Vice-President, Nissan Europe.

"Nissan's objective for Leaf has always been to bring zero-emission mobility within reach of the mass-market. Our price reduction underlines that commitment and with no price premium even more motorists will become believers."

Production of the updated model is due to start at Nissan European plant in Sunderland, UK, in Spring 2013.
