All-new Nissan Leaf blows in to Kilkenny!

Kilkenny motorists will be able to check out the all-new Nissan Leaf this weekend a full two months before its official launch!
Barlo Nissan in Kilkenny has pulled off a huge coup, getting its hands on the all-new Leaf, which is destined to become a massive hit with EV drivers.

The all-new Leaf is winning rave reviews with a top range of up to 622 kilometres and the power to recover up to 420 kilometres after just 30 minutes of DC fast-charging.

Barlo Nissan has secured exclusive access to the car on Saturday, December 13 and Sunday, December 14. No appointment is necessary, and visitors are welcome to drop by the showroom on the Dublin Road at any time to enjoy a sneak-peek at the car when it is on display.

"The Nissan LEAF was the world’s first mass-market EV, and this is the next step in its evolution," said Liam Martin, Sales Manager, Barlo Nissan. "Reimagined as a crossover, the design is now much sleeker and sharper and its extended range and connected technology is a game-changer for EV drivers.

"We are delighted to get our hands on the car and to showcase it to our customers in Kilkenny," he added. "This is their chance to be the first to see it up close, to book a test-drive and to pre-order it before it arrives in showrooms in early February.

"The all-new LEAF has been specifically engineered to tackle the barriers to EV adoption. It goes further on one charge, it charges faster when you need to recharge, and it delivers impressive range at motorway speeds, which is great news for anyone thinking of making the switch to electric driving," he continued.

The 75kWh battery version has a range of up to 622 kilometres, while the 52kWh battery offers above 440 kilometres range. With a motorway range of up to 330kms at 130km/h and up to 430 kilometres at 110km/h and an energy consumption as low as 13.8 kWh/100km, longer journeys can be accomplished with fewer charging stops.

The all-new LEAF has been designed to meet the everyday needs of families whether that is the school run, heading to work, or enjoying a weekend away or longer holiday trips. There is plenty of room inside and it is family-ready with a spacious cabin and 437 litres of cargo space.
