Description
Infinity Automotive Solutions are pleased to market this stunning Nissan Leaf e+ 3.ZERO 62kWh, finished in Storm White pearlescent with one owner from new and just 18,326 miles recorded.
This is the range-topping version of Nissan’s landmark electric hatchback and by some distance the one to have. The e+ 3.ZERO was a limited-run specification pairing the larger 62kWh battery with the more powerful 217ps motor and Nissan’s full technology package — and with fewer than 19,000 miles covered, this one has barely been used. Storm White is Nissan’s deep pearlescent white, a £745 premium paint option when new and a far warmer, richer finish than the standard flat white. The Leaf was the car that made electric motoring mainstream, and the e+ addressed the one criticism of the original: range. The 62kWh battery delivers an official 239 miles WLTP, with owners typically seeing a genuine 190 to 220 miles in mixed real-world driving and considerably more around town, where the WLTP city figure rises to over 300 miles. For the vast majority of drivers that means charging once a week at home rather than daily. The e+ is also the quick one. The 160kW (217ps) motor produces 340Nm the instant you press the accelerator, giving 0-62mph in around seven seconds — brisk enough to surprise most hot hatches away from the lights — while remaining almost completely silent. Nissan’s e-Pedal system allows genuine one-pedal driving: lift off and the car slows and holds itself on hills without touching the brake, which in stop-start traffic quickly becomes something you don’t want to live without. Specification is generous. This car has ProPILOT, combining adaptive cruise control with lane centring to take the strain out of motorway journeys, along with the Intelligent Around View Monitor 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, an 8-inch NissanConnect touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB radio and Bluetooth, and a BOSE premium sound system. Comfort equipment includes part-leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, LED headlights and alloy wheels. Practicality is genuinely good for a family hatchback, with a 435-litre boot and plenty of rear space thanks to the flat floor. It drives with a reassuring solidity too — the battery sits low in the floor, so it feels planted and settled rather than top-heavy. Charging is straightforward: a 7kW home wallbox takes it from empty to full in around eleven and a half hours, so an overnight charge on an EV tariff costs a few pounds, and rapid charging on the road takes it to 80% in roughly an hour. Running costs are a fraction of a petrol equivalent, servicing is minimal with no oil, filters, belts or clutch to worry about, and it is of course fully ULEZ and clean-air-zone compliant. Best of all, Nissan’s 8-year / 100,000-mile battery warranty is transferable, so there is still substantial factory cover on
