Report: 2016 Nissan LEAF To Get 25% Larger Battery, New Colors
http://insideevs.com/2016-nissan-leaf-get-25-larger-battery/
With the market demanding a longer range LEAF to better compete against the likes of the next generation of Chevrolet Volt and other new EV offerings, the current generation of Nissan LEAF will be getting a larger 30 kWh battery for the higher trim levels of the car this Fall.
The move to increase the range of the car by the Nissan does not represent the capabilities of the next generation of LEAF – due out in Q2 2017, but does fit with what InsideEVs has been projecting to come along for the past 18 months or so on the current model.
(check out our post as to why we thought a longer range LEAF was coming this Fall here)
The 2016 Nissan LEAF will also have some new color choices.
Thankfully, Nissan's take on "Robin's Egg Blue" (Morningsky Blue) that seems to have plagued been a required color for almost all plug-ins in the past, has been deleted along with Cayenne Red. In its place 3 new colors – Forged Bronze, Coulis Red and Deep Blue Pearl.
¡Fantástico!
O sea que antes de empezar a producir el nuevo modelo 2017, nos dejan una batería de 30 kw compatible con el modelo actual. Eso significa para una conducción moderada , 250 km de autonomía.
A ver si se confirma oficialmente.
Deben ser 30 kWh brutos, netos 26-27 kWh.
Pero mas importante que la capacidad, que esos kWh se mantengan en el tiempo lo máximo posible.
Eso.
Esperemos que ésta sí lleve refrigeración.
Excelente noticia. Ojalá la veamos para nuestros Fluences...
Que bueno. Era el movimiento lógico para que el primo menor lo le canibalice con su R240.
Vaya guerra sucia. El zoe anuncia el R240. Con un año de antelacion....para fastidiar las ventas de los demas y las suyas mismas....Mientras que Nissan hace lo propio.....ahora el q se haya esperado para el R240 igual decide esperarse al Leaf 30kw.....y las ventas de electricos resentidas.
Eso si....el Nisan de 30kw no creo que tenga el mismo precio q el de 20kw....como si pasa con el R240.
