The first 1,000 customers to purchase the special LEAF Black Edition will receive a free in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot – capable of powering up to eight devices.

Based on Nissan’s existing Acenta grade, the LEAF Black Edition features exterior additions such as 16” black alloy wheels, LED headlamps, illuminated entry guards, privacy glass, black door mirror caps and black rear roof spoiler. Blue-stitched mats give the interior a ‘premium finish’ says Nissan.

The Black Edition also comes with the latest version of the NissanConnect EV telematics system and its Around View Monitor technology as standard.

Gareth Dunsmore, Director of Electric Vehicles at Nissan Europe, said: "The Nissan LEAF Black Edition offers our customers stylish, premium design in an affordable mass-market 100 percent electric vehicle. We are committed to delivering innovation that excites and this vehicle does just that, with our leading Around View Monitor technology offering customers a more confident drive – embodying Nissan Intelligent Mobility.”

The limited edition model is on sale in Europe for a restricted production run from March 2017 up until August 2017.
