00:00Welcome to the video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:03Today, we're talking about the new Nissan LEAF 2025.
00:07A model that wants to be better than its predecessor, but doesn't strive for technological excellence.
00:13The LEAF, the world's best-selling electric car for years, is now entering its third generation.
00:19But is that enough to once again be at the forefront?
00:22The new LEAF is based on the CMFEV platform developed jointly with Renault.
00:30Nissan wants to improve three key areas with this model.
00:33The charging infrastructure, efficiency, and everyday usability.
00:37The aim is clearly down-to-earth.
00:40Instead of shining with radical innovation, Nissan is focusing on solid further development.
00:46The biggest technical innovation concerns the charging port.
00:49For the first time, the widely used CCS connector is being offered.
00:54And that's not all.
00:55The first images show two charging flaps, each in one of the front winglets.
01:00The charging options have also been significantly improved.
01:04Two drive variants are planned.
01:07The base model delivers an output of 130 kilowatts, which corresponds to around 177 horsepower and a torque of 345 newton meters.
01:15The associated battery has a capacity of 52 kilowatts and can be charged with up to 15 kilowatts of direct current.
01:25The more powerful version offers an output of 160 kilowatts, or around 218 horsepower, and is equipped with a 75 kilowatts battery.
01:34This can be charged with up to 150 kilowatts.
01:38Nissan states that under optimal conditions, up to 250 kilometers of range can be recharged within 14 minutes.
01:47A solid, if not outstanding, performance.
01:50The average charging performance remains at a good, but not outstanding level.
01:57From a battery level of 20 to 80 percent, the smaller battery requires around 31 kilowatts hours to charge in around 30 minutes.
02:06The larger one can charge around 45 customers in the same period.
02:09This results in average charging performances of around 62 and 90 kilowatts respectively.
02:17AC charging now continues in three-phase mode with up to 11 kilowatts, which also makes the LEAF more competitive at public charging points.
02:26The range according to the WLTP standard is between 440 and around 600 kilometers, depending on the battery size.
02:34It is not yet certain whether a heat pump will be included as standard equipment.
02:38However, Nissan emphasizes that extensive development work has gone into the temperature control of the battery cells.
02:47The battery can be pre-conditioned as part of the route planning.
02:52The route is also taken into account.
02:55Another feature of the new LEAF is its ability to feed energy back into the battery.
03:01Previous generations already allowed the vehicle battery to be used as a stationary storage device.
03:08However, this function was hardly used, not least because of the small battery size of 24 hours at the time and the high costs of the necessary infrastructure.
03:18This idea is now being pursued more consistently.
03:21In Europe, the new LEAF allows external devices to be supplied with up to 3.6 kilowatts.
03:28Vehicle-to-home is also possible, while vehicle-to-grid is currently in preparation.
03:32This would allow the LEAF to be used to actively participate in the electricity market in the future.
03:38At around 4.4 meters long, the new Lua is 14 centimeters shorter than its predecessor.
03:45The transformation from a classic compact car to an SUV brings with it a higher seating position and is therefore clearly in line with market trends.
03:53The chassis proved to be comfortable during an initial short test drive without appearing overly sporty.
04:01Only closely spaced transverse joints make the handling noticeably harsher.
04:07There are four recuperation levels, from almost complete one-pedal driving to coasting mode.
04:11The good noise insulation was particularly positive.
04:17Nissan relies on Android Automotive for the infotainment system, thus dispensing with its own software solution.
04:24The interface has been adapted to its own design.
04:27Everything is shown via head-up display and two screens, each with a diagonal of 14.3 inches.
04:33One drawback is the glossy plastic surfaces on the steering wheel, which smudge very quickly.
04:38A large glass roof is optionally available, which can be darkened at the touch of a button but cannot be opened.
04:46The Nissan LEAF 2025 finally offers all of today's standard charging options, an increased range and better charging times.
04:55It drives solidly and appears more mature in many areas than its predecessor.
05:00However, the competition has caught up significantly and often overtaken since the start of the first lease in 2010.
05:09Nissan deliberately refrains from technological unique selling points, which ultimately has to be reflected in the price if the vehicle is to be more than just a niche model.
05:17There are no specific pricing details yet, but clarity should be provided early next year with the publication of the first price list.
05:28The market entry in Europe is planned for spring 2026.
