00:00Get up, get set, let's go!
00:29Get up, get set, let's go!
00:59Get up, get set, let's go!
01:01Get up, get set, let's go!
01:05Get up, get set, let's go!
01:07Get up, get set, let's go!
01:11Get up, get set, let's go!
01:13Get up, get set, let's go!
01:15Cut!
01:17Cut!
01:25Cut!
01:27Cut!
01:29Cut!
01:37Cut!
01:39Wow, what a launch.
01:44I have goosebumps.
01:46I'm Amelia Hartford.
01:47You might know me from building cars, racing them, or possibly even a few movies.
01:52But today, I'm here to show you something really special.
01:55The all-new Nissan Leaf.
01:57Come on, let me show you.
02:03The first thing you'll notice is this is definitely a new Leaf with an entirely new look.
02:08It has a new crossover design, a bold front grille, and flush door handles, which all helps
02:15this car slice through the air.
02:17Better aerodynamics means better efficiency, which means better range, which is super important for any car owner.
02:23And check this out, holographic tail lights with a signature Nissan design.
02:28That 2-3 means Nissan in Japanese.
02:31And speaking of design, here is somebody who knows a thing or two about just that.
02:36Head of Global Design for Nissan, Alfonso Alviza.
02:41Can you tell me a little bit about how the overall design translates into a more efficient vehicle?
02:48So on the one side, it's about Japan, and it's about the culture of Leaf, of course.
02:53On the other side, it's like the craziest science project.
02:57Where that, for instance, this line, the height of this, we negotiated back and forth,
03:03because you'd be surprised if this line was up here, we lose 10 miles of rain.
03:0710 miles.
03:0810 miles.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Because this line sets up the hood, sets up the windshield, sets up the roof, and then comes to the lovely duck tail in the back,
03:18which in fact is how we achieve these range numbers that our customer deeply wants.
03:25And I can also see the unique little Easter eggs, not just in the iconic taillights,
03:29but as we were walking by, I saw on the charge port that there's also the 2-3, the Nissan right there.
03:34And then we don't stop there.
03:36We fell in love with this sense of what is a digital art and what is a kind of physical art.
03:40As you can see, these radius rectangles.
03:43They're kind of a digital world, but they appear again in the wheels.
03:47You know, design is also about connecting.
03:50We hope to keep people entertained.
03:52Well, there's a lot of Easter eggs on the car.
03:54I don't want to spoil them all.
03:55We'll leave that for people at home.
03:56They take delivery of their very own third generation Leafs.
03:58Yes.
03:59But I have to say, incredible job.
04:00And thank you so much for taking the time and coming out here.
04:03And the interior is next level.
04:07Without the need of a transmission tunnel, it feels open and spacious.
04:11You can fit five adults in here.
04:13The interior feels premium and plush.
04:16And with an all glass panoramic moon roof, you can have shade or sun with the push of a button.
04:26And with the doors closed, it's quiet in here.
04:29It's like your own sanctuary.
04:30But when you turn the audio on, you have both speakers integrated into the headrest for a totally immersive experience.
04:37It's loaded with all the new tech you'd expect.
04:40A clean minimalist dash and a huge 14.3 inch display that is super intuitive and easy to use.
04:48It looks good.
04:49It sounds good.
04:50It feels good.
04:51Every part of this new Leaf was designed to make your life easier.
04:59One of the things I love most about cars is driving them.
05:03And I've driven my fair share of cars.
05:06But this car, one of the things I love most is how easy it is.
05:10It's just so natural.
05:11You put your foot down and it goes.
05:13It hugs the corners.
05:14It maneuvers easily.
05:15And it's just comfortable to drive.
05:18And what better person to talk to me about the drive experience other than Leaf's chief product specialist, Endosan.
05:25Hi, Emilia.
05:26Hi.
05:27Tell me, what was your vision for the all new Leaf?
05:29My vision was to build the most efficient and seamless EV for customers.
05:34This is the most emotional, yet functional car.
05:37Really heartbeat model.
05:39So, how did you make this car so efficient?
05:41Most important point is aerodynamics, which gives us a really great driving range, which is 600 kg for the Japan, Europe, or more than 300 miles for the US.
05:54Speaking of aerodynamics, this has the best aerodynamics in its class, which means improved stability.
06:01And on the highway, it's quieter and smoother.
06:05But there's also something special, which is the route optimizer.
06:09Yes, exactly.
06:10In the customer journey, the customer can easily find the best route and also active charging spot.
06:17So, this experience is totally seamless and efficient.
06:21So, no more range anxiety?
06:23No more range anxiety.
06:26Beautiful.
06:27Well, thank you so much, Endosan.
06:29Now, we're not the only ones who's impressed with the way the new Leaf handles.
06:32Chris and Julie Ramsey have spent more time behind the wheel of a Nissan Leaf than most folks.
06:37They're first-generation owners, and they've driven Nissan EVs across the entire world.
06:43So, if anyone knows how this car should perform, it's them.
06:47Let's take a look at what they had to say about this car.
06:50This feels like the first day when I got inside that first 2014 Leaf.
06:57Let's go for it.
06:58Yes!
07:00Now it's going.
07:01Now it's giving.
07:02Now it's giving.
07:03Now it's giving.
07:04Now it's giving.
07:05Now it's giving.
07:06Yes!
07:07It just feels effortless.
07:08It's so smooth.
07:09You just fly.
07:10You glide.
07:11I'm barely turning, and we're just going through the sharp bend right now.
07:15The steering input is so much more responsive.
07:17I mean, this is built for an adventure, right?
07:19The range it's got.
07:20The efficiency it's got.
07:21Should we just keep going?
07:23Do you think they'll notice if we just kept driving?
07:27I just want to drive it home.
07:34Did you know the Leaf can also power your life?
07:37Chris and Julie have everything you see here running off the Leaf's battery.
07:41No generator.
07:42No noise.
07:43Just instant power wherever you want it.
07:45I mean, who wouldn't want a movie night in the middle of nowhere?
07:49Or, in your guys' case, on route to the South Pole.
07:53That is definitely something I can get on board with, Amelia, because vehicle to load V2L in this car, it's like having a mobile power station.
08:00You can use this energy in a way that suits your lifestyle, and I can even power that coffee machine, which I love.
08:06Now, you can take your favorite appliances and plug them directly into the car, and having those creature comforts of home right with you when you go out exploring.
08:14I mean, I love a good cup of coffee, but the Leaf can do so much more than that.
08:19It actually changes the way you think about a car.
08:21In fact, the Leaf can power your home for up to five days in a blackout.
08:25And in some markets, you can even use the power from the Leaf, sending it back to the grid, effectively saving you money.
08:32I mean, pretty smart, right?
08:33Yeah, I mean, this is one of the biggest features for me, because whether you're powering your car, your home, or you're supporting the grid,
08:39the Leaf now gives you flexibility you just don't get with a combustion vehicle.
08:43Thank you, Chris and Julie.
08:45There's 15 years of heritage and experience in this third-generation Leaf, and it shows.
08:51But the movie magic isn't over just yet.
09:00And just like that, I am now joined by the CEO leading Nissan into the future, Yvonne Espinoza.
09:06Yvonne, this is a big moment for Nissan in your first global product launch as CEO.
09:11What does the new Leaf mean to you?
09:13It means so much to me.
09:15I've been with the company almost 25 years, so I've been following this car very closely.
09:19And what the Leaf did was to really redefine and establish the EV market globally.
09:24And this third generation is the culmination of many lessons.
09:28It really put our designers, our planners, and our engineers around the customer to really drive what they needed.
09:35And this is why this car is part of re-Nissan and one of our heartbeat models.
09:40What are you most excited about for the all-new third generation Leaf?
09:44Well, to see it on the road.
09:46I think EVs are much more than just transportation means.
09:49EVs are about managing energy and making customers' lives more efficient.
09:54So I'm really happy to launch this car, to have a lot of new customers,
09:57and to welcome many of them to the EV life.
09:59Well, thanks, Yvonne.
10:00It's a very exciting time.
10:01And congratulations to you and the entire team.
10:04Everyone has done a fantastic job.
10:06Thank you. Thank you very much.
10:08The new Leaf isn't just a car.
10:13It's freedom.
10:14It's power.
10:15It has a whole new way of living.
10:17It has the power to move you like no other vehicle.
10:21I'm excited and I hope you are too.
