Nissan's next iteration of the Leaf EV will hang on to its hatchback styling, but it will look more like a conventional car.
According to Automotive News, Nissan EV product chief Andy Palmer said that the next version of the Leaf would conform more closely to the latest Nissan design language seen on cars like the Rogue – that means Nissan's new V-shaped grille opening, rather than the completely flush front end used on the current Leaf.
What the next Leaf won't be is a sedan. That will be reserved for a now-delayed Infiniti EV, which is expected to debut in 2017. The Infiniti EV will arrive first, and may even be able to exceed the Leaf's range, due to its sedan shape, which allows for different packaging. Palmer said that 300 km (186 miles) is the internal target for the next-gen EVs, versus the current Leaf's 84 mile range.
