According to a recent report, the NissanUSA LeafEV will be dropped by 2025 with no replacement lined up.
. Nissan bet big on the EV market when it first brought the Leaf to the American market back in 2010, but the small hatchback didn't make enough of an impact. With its battery only able to muster a paltry 76 miles of driving initially, it did nothing to curb the growing concern of range anxiety. The world wasn't quite ready to ditch dino juice for electricity at that moment in time.
Then, just a few years after the Leaf made its debut, cars like the Chevy Volt and then the Tesla Model S made Nissan's offering seem unimpressive to say the least. Regardless, Nissan stuck with the Leaf by moving production to the United States and making incremental improvements to range. However, it was never quite able to keep up with its competitors, especially the juggernaut that is Tesla.
we noted that we appreciate the Leaf's value for money; especially considering its quiet cabin and semi-autonomous driving tech. However, its small size, uncompetitive driving range, and comfortable seats had to be called out.predicts that Nissan will end production on the Leaf sometime around 2025 with no plans for a next-generation replacement. However, by then Nissan will have added several new EVs to its line up.
Can the Ariya SUV and Nissan's other future EV offerings be enough to accomplish what the Leaf couldn't? Whenback in March, we were fairly impressed with the natural feel of its brakes, precise steering, and its comfort with a wet driving surface . Though, that was just a prototype. If the Ariya looks to correct the mistakes of the Leaf, the final product needs to be exceptional.
