The 2011 Nissan Leaf, the world's first affordable, zero-emission car, ushers in a new era of mobility – the "no gas, no tailpipe" zero-emission era. Designed specifically for a Lithium-ion battery-powered chassis, the Nissan LEAF is a medium-size hatchback that comfortably seats five adults and has a range of 160 kilometres (U.S. LA4 cycle) on one full charge to satisfy real-world consumer requirements.
