The new Acenta+ sits between the Acenta and range-topping Tekna model and enjoys a significant specification boost over the standard model. On sale from July 1, the Acenta+ is equipped with a 6.6kW on-board charger as standard, along with a Mode-3 32amp (EVSE) cable. Previously available only as an option, the 6.6kW charger allows owners to perform a 0-100% charge in just four hours.
Once charged, owners can enjoy the Leaf’s impressive 124 miles (NEDC) range and incredibly low running costs from just 2p per mile.
Acenta+ models also look the part thanks to the addition of striking new 17-inch Autech wheels. Finished with distinctive blue accents on the offset spokes, they give the newest member of the Leaf line-up an even bolder appearance. Despite the additional equipment, buyers can snap one up for just £29,740– that’s just £1,150 more than the standard Acenta. With the Government’s Plug-in Car Grant applied, the price falls to £24,740.
The launch of the new Acenta+ grade comes as Nissan confirms its position as the global leader in the field of EV design, technology and production. In addition to enjoying a 60% market share in the UK, more than 175,000 Leafs have been sold globally since its introduction. The brand’s second pure EV vehicle – the e-NV200 – has introduced EV technology to the commercial vehicle sector, further extending Nissan’s market lead.
