2018 Nissan LEAF first electric car to win Green Car of the Year

For the first time in 14 years, a 100 % electric car took home the coveted and prestigious Green Car of the Year award at the New York International Auto Show. Handed out by a panel of 82 journalists from 24 countries, the World Car of the Year award is a testament to just how impressive the new LEAF truly is.

More range and more safety for the 2018 Nissan Leaf

The 2018 Nissan Leaf features 241 kilometers of range from a more powerful all-electric engine. It also boasts impressive safety thanks to Nissan ProPilot Assist, a set of driver assistance technologies that keep you in your lane while also automatically braking to prevent accidents. The new 2018 Nissan LEAF also features E-Pedal one-pedal driving.

"We're very proud that since Nissan LEAF launched in 2010, we've been able to put more than 300,000 zero-emission electric vehicles on the road worldwide, helping to reduce carbon footprints around the globe," said Daniele Schillaci, Executive Vice President, Global Marketing and Sales, Zero Emission Vehicle and Battery Business; Chairman of Management Committee for Japan/A&O (Japan, Asia, Oceania Business); Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.,. "We're honored to be recognized by this esteemed jury and proud to continue to expand the vision of Nissan Intelligent Mobility."
