2018 Nissan Leaf
World Car of the Year Finalist (video)

It was double recognition for the Nissan LEAF, with the new-generation electric vehicle also making the final four in the 2018 World Green Car category.

With Nissan Micra also a finalist in the 2018 World Urban Car category, this is the fifth time in the 14-year history of the World Car of the Year awards that a Nissan has been a finalist.

The first-generation Nissan LEAF was named World Car of the Year in 2011, with the Nissan QASHQAI making the final in 2008 and 2015, and the GT-R in 2009.

The national debut of the Nissan LEAF at the Montreal International Auto Show heralded the new electric vehicle’s arrival to Canadian dealerships. In November of 2016, Nissan launched a pre-sale program for the 2018 Nissan LEAF, the latest itineration of the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle, which now offers 242 kilometres1 of range and advanced technology features including e-Pedal and ProPILOT Assist.

Since the launch of the pre-sale program, over one thousand Canadians have put a deposit down on the 2018 Nissan LEAF, without even seeing it, let alone actually driving it.

Unlike press conferences of years past, the president of the company, Joni Paiva, wasn’t the only person on the stage. Paiva was joined by eight current Nissan LEAF customers who pulled the cover off the 2018 Nissan LEAF – all of whom are pre-registered to own the 2018 Nissan LEAF.

“Thousands of LEAF customers around the world have provided feedback on the electric vehicle ownership experience, and this has been factored in to the 2018 LEAF,” says Joni Paiva, president of Nissan Canada Inc. “We are grateful to these customers for being with us today, and to all Nissan EV customers who engage with us. Their insight allows us to deliver on providing the features EV owners need, and helps accelerate our position as the global EV sales leader.”

Continuing a long tradition of national debuts at the Montreal International Auto Show, Nissan revealed an all-new vehicle for the North American market – the Nissan Kicks crossover, which goes on sale in June of this year. The Kicks joins Nissan’s popular crossover lineup, including the Nissan Rogue, which was the top-selling vehicle in the province of Quebec in 2017.

“The Nissan Kicks and Nissan LEAF are right at home in the province of Quebec, where fun, economical vehicles abound, driving alongside a rising permeation of electric vehicles,” says Paiva. “While vastly different at first glance, the Kicks and LEAF are connected by Nissan’s goal to achieve two things: zero emissions, and zero fatalities. How we achieve that is a global plan called Nissan Intelligent Mobility.”
