Nissan Leaf

Nissan Leaf: 

Nissan is pulling up its socks and perfectly aligning itself for the Auto Expo 2012 for which the countdown has begun. Nissans story in India has been one with lots of ups and downs. The lovely SUV X-Trail and elegant luxury sedan Teana brought in India as imported cars did not fill the coffers for Nissan in India. Although both the vehicles have a lot of potential in them, they are not able to capture customers as expected. Then Nissan’s small car-the Micra changed the situation and Nissan got into full flow with both the Petrol and Diesel selling well in market. The latest entrant Sedan from Nissan-the Sunny bettered the fortunes for Nissan with the recent inclusion of a Diesel version to the lineup. The Nissan Leaf is a 100% Electric vehicle and is powered by an EM61 Electric Motor. This AC synchronous motor makes 109PS of power which is more than enough for this 1.50 ton car. There is 280 Nm of torque at tap and as this is an electric car the torque comes at as low as 0 RPM and stays on till 2730RPM. The Max RPM is of 10390 on the Leaf.
