The new Nissan Leaf is due to be revealed in the first week of September 2017 and ahead of its revealing, Nissan has teased us with an image and some of its technology

The Nissan Leaf is the brand's electric car and while it hasn't really been a popular purchase in South Africa due to lack of infrastructure, plenty have been sold in the rest of the world. The new Nissan Leaf is going to be released in Japan on the 6th September and we'll be there. It'll feature advanced safety tech and boast semi-autonomous driving capability. Nissan claims this new Leaf will "amaze your senses and raise the bar for the electric car market." Technology like ProPilot Park will be initially available only in Japan and Europe but should be gradually rolled out to the rest of the world. This tech allows the Leaf to go and park itself with very little input from the driver.
