Nissan has expanded the electric Leaf trim range with a new Acenta+ version that will be released as a prelude to a next-generation model.
The new trim level, which sits between Acenta and range-topping Tekna, goes on sale today priced at £24,740 including the £5000 government plug-in grant.
Acenta+ carries a £1150 price hike over standard Acenta trim. It adds new blue 17in Autech alloy wheels and a 6.6kW charger which allows a full charge from empty in four hours. Seven-pin and three-pin cables also come as standard .
EV director for Nissan Europe Jean Pierre Diernaz told Autocar that the new grade will give some momentum to the Leaf, before a next-generation model is released in the “mid-term”.
“We are working on the succession plan, of course, on various aspects,” he said. “One is the car, another one is the battery technology and range.
“A bigger battery and bigger range will come,” he added. “We are working very actively on this.”
