Nissan says it will unveil next-gen LEAF with 200+ miles of range in September, ship it soon after

It should enable a range greater than 200 miles on single a charge and at a price point of around $35,000, like the current top of the line LEAFs, it could be competitive with Tesla’s Model 3 and GM’s Chevy Bolt EV.

Nissan confirmed earlier this year that the new version of the LEAF will also feature its ProPILOT, which is a driver assist system comparable to Tesla’s Autopilot.

Aside from the performance upgrades expected with the new powertrain, the next-gen is also expected to feature a significant design refresh.
