The upcoming Nissan Leaf will also be the company’s first model to feature the ProPilot Park technology.
The system is using sonars and cameras to guide the new Nissan Leaf into a parking spot, whether it’s parallel, front or straight back-in, controlling the accelerator, braking and steering.
The new park assist feature will be a part of Nissan’s ProPilot semi-autonomous technology, with the company saying that the new Leaf will become the most advanced autonomous model, once it hits the market.
The new Nissan Leaf is reportedly going to be offered with at least two different battery options, 40kWh and 60kWh. The latter version will be capable of driving 340 miles (547km) on a single charge.
As for the design, Nissan is going for a more dynamic character for the new Leaf, taking inspiration from the 2015 IDS concept and the latest Micra supermini.
Nissan’s all-new Tesla Model 3 and Chevrolet Bolt rival will premiere at Tokyo on September 6, before heading to the Frankfurt Motor Show.
