Despite being the end of the first-gen Leaf, the new model will have significant updates from the 2015 Leaf. The 2016 Nissan Leaf release date and pricing are still tentative, but we do know a bit about what you can expect from the new model as well as features we think will carry over when it debuts.” In regards to the 2016 LEAF, the dealership states (here) the following: 2016 Nissan LEAF Changes “While there are many features that make the Leaf a popular vehicle, there is one thing it’s known for above all else: its battery. The 2016 Nissan Leaf redesign will bring a first to the electric car: your choice of two different batteries. The standard Leaf will come with the same battery as the 2015 model, featuring an EPA-estimated driving range of 84 miles. Drivers of higher trim levels will enjoy a battery with as much as 25% increased capacity, delivering a driving range of as much as 110 miles. The majority of electric cars only feature one battery option, and by providing drivers with their choice of a lower capacity battery if they don’t intend to drive long distances, the new Leaf can find a home in even more garages.” [image] 2015 Nissan LEAF And here’s additional confirmation of the two battery sizes to be offered in the 2016 LEAF: InsideEVs exclusively reported on these expected changes earlier this Summer. In that report, we stated: “With the market demanding a longer range LEAF to better compete against the likes of the next generation of Chevrolet Volt and other new EV offerings, the current generation of Nissan LEAF will be getting a larger 30 kWh battery for the higher trim levels of the car this Fall. As for the new battery sizing’s effect on range, we feel the 2016 LEAF (SV/SL) could have an EPA rated range of about 105 to 110 miles. (170 to 180 km of real world driving).” Please do check out our previous articles on the topic of the longer range 2016 LEAF.

But a posting by a Nissan dealer in Indiana suggests that high-end models of the coming year's Leaf will feature a larger battery pack to give them more range, possibly "as much as 110 miles." The dealership, Andy Mohr Avon Nissan in Avon, Indiana, has a page on the 2016 Leaf on its website. It says, in brief, that the base Leaf S model will continue with today's 24-kilowatt-hour battery pack, giving an EPA-rated range of 84 miles. While an incrementally larger battery has been expected for the 2016 Leaf for some time now, a choice of pack sizes (and hence ranges) fleshes out the picture a bit, if true. "Drivers of higher trim levels will enjoy a battery with as much as 25 percent increased capacity," it says, "delivering a driving range of as much as 110 miles." Unless Nissan adds a new top-of-the-range version, those "higher trim levels" are the Leaf SV and the more luxurious Leaf SL. With a crop of new mass-priced electric cars expected to start arriving late in 2016 with ranges of 150 to 200 miles--the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV first among them--the existing Leaf with its 84-mile range appears to be having trouble sustaining U.S. sales momentum. It's still by far the world's best-selling electric car, but the Leaf's U.S. sales over the last 12 months have fallen to 15,000, compared to 22,000 in the previous 12-month period. [image] 2015 Nissan Leaf 4-door HB SL Dashboard And similarly-sized all-electric competitors with battery ranges between 80 and 90 miles now include the BMW i3 and Volkswagen e-Golf as well as the Ford Focus Electric and Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive. As the dealer site notes, the "release date and pricing are still tentative" for next year's Nissan Leaf. The dealer site says nothing about pricing, which would likely be announced only a few weeks before the 2016 Leafs go on sale. Assuming the larger pack is indeed coming, Nissan is likely debating how much--if anything--it can charge for the increased range, or whether it should be a running upgrade to boost 2016 sales in advance of the car's anticipated replacement for 2017 or 2018.
