Nissan Leaf order books open

Date: 30 July 2010

The Nissan Leaf

Order books for the new electric Nissan Leaf are now open in Europe. Customers in two of the priority countries, Portugal and Ireland, can order the car while Nissan has confirmed UK orders will start from 1 September.

Nissan Leaf deliveries begin in Portugal in January, Ireland in February and the UK in March.

"Today's announcement brings zero-emissions motoring one step closer to reality in Europe," said Simon Thomas, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Nissan.

"Nissan Leaf will appeal on many levels; it's a completely zero-emission electric car with all of the financial and environmental benefits that will bring, but it is also a practical family size car and fun to drive. That's a powerful combination, and Nissan Leaf is already attracting significant interest from prospective customers."

Since March, nearly 12,000 customers in Europe have signed up for regular updates on Nissan Leaf's introduction, and in the US and Japan pre-orders have exceeded 23,000 units since online reservations began in April.

To make a reservation, customers in the launch markets need to go to their local Nissan consumer website and place their order. The process requires a fully-refundable deposit of ?300 (£257). These 'early adopters' will also be given an opportunity to test-drive Nissan Leaf by December, at which point they will need to formally confirm their order. Call centre for each country has been created to assist customers with questions.

The price of Nissan LEAF after government incentives is ?30,250 in Portugal, ?29,995 in Ireland and £23,990 in the UK including the battery.
