2010 Nissan Leaf

The landscape of hybrid vehicles is a familiar one to most people around the world. With old friends like the Prius and Insight being the most familiar, and newcomers like the Volt (which has yet to make it into the hands of the general public) attempting to make a name for the itself, it would seem that there is plenty of room for another entrant. That’s exactly what Nissan is hoping for with the announcement of its latest all-electric vehicle, the 2010 LEAF EV.

With the introduction of the Nissan LEAF, it would certainly appear that the motor company is attempting to make a serious play for market share in the up-and-coming segment. The company this weekend announced its new 2010 LEAF EV that melds Nissan/Renault’s current design theme with an electric-only vehicle.

Nissan expects to market the LEAF in the U.S., Europe, and Japan next year. Pricing has not been announced, but Nissan describes the vehicle as “affordable”.
