YOKOHAMA, Japan – The widely anticipated new Nissan LEAF will feature state-of-the-art ProPILOT technology, Nissan's autonomous drive technology that reduces the hassle of stop-and-go highway driving.
ProPILOT supports drivers by helping control acceleration, braking and steering during single-lane driving on the highway.
In the coming years, Nissan's ProPILOT technology will offer increasing levels of autonomy, with the system eventually able to navigate city intersections. Set to make driving safer and more enjoyable, development of ProPILOT technology is part of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the company's blueprint for transforming how cars are driven, powered and integrated into society.
The Nissan LEAF's Australian-market specifications and equipment will be announced closer to the time of local release.
By launching the LEAF, the world's first mass-market electric vehicle, Nissan established itself as a pioneer in the EV movement. Today the Nissan LEAF is the world's best-selling electric vehicle with more than 270,000 sold worldwide.
