The electric vehicle that started it all is getting a refreshed new look.
Yes, the 2022 Nissan Leaf is coming and it’s bringing with it a refreshed new look with vibrant colour choices. It’s also kitted with striking new alloy wheels along with intricate exterior detailing that aligns with Nissan’s new brand identity.
Nissan’s fresh glow to the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle is fitting as the model continues to play a key role in accelerating the shift to electrification. With eye-catching style and innovative technology, the iconic zero-emission vehicle will no doubt appeal to drivers looking for a sustainable set of wheels for their daily commute.
The 2022 Nissan Leaf receives tweaks in its exterior design. This includes intricate detailing to striking alloy wheel options – offering customers a dynamic aesthetic. A refinement of the highly successful Leaf, the 2022 model also provides a tried-and-tested suite of advanced driving assistance systems. Standard features include ProPILOT, and infotainment technologies such as the on-board NissanConnect system.
These new tweaks to the flagship Nissan EV will further fuel the automaker’s ambitions in the field of electrics. The Japanese automaker is preparing for a strong product offensive with a fully electrified line-up offering after the summer.
Nissan is reportedly looking at launching 23 new electrified models including 15 full EVs by 2030. All of this would not be possible of course without the Leaf. To date, the model has made the thrill of electric driving accessible to over 577,000 customers worldwide. The 2022 Nissan Leaf will surely add to that number.

In Europe, the model is offered in five monotone colours and five two-tone options. Following successes with sister models like the Qashqai and Ariya, two new hues have been added. This includes Pearl Blue and Magnetic Blue, which elevates the style factor for the model.
A Connected Driving Experience
The new model is offered with two battery options that deliver up to 385km (WLTP) of autonomy. It combines an efficient electric driving experience with extensive driving assistance and connectivity technologies, infused with over 10 years of Nissan electric vehicle knowledge and innovation.
