日产CEO卡洛斯-戈恩宣布,第二代聆风续航里程将达到400公里。虽然先前有报道称，下一代聆风的续航里程将从目前的135公里提升至299公里，但戈恩在日本电视节目上透露，新车续航里程将达到400公里。新一代聆风很可能会在2016年发布。预计日产将会为聆风提供不止一个电池组，而只有更大电池组才能保持更持久，强劲的电力供应。虽然新一代聆风性能获得提升，但它仍将保持保守外观，包括镀铬V形前格栅和黑色车柱。

 

Nissan says second-gen Leaf will have a 249-mile range

Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has announced the second generation Leaf will offer a maximum range of 249 miles (400 km).

 

The last report concerning Nissan's second-gen Leaf dates back to late August when we heard the electric vehicle will offer an increase in range from the current 84 miles (135 km) to around 186 miles (299 km). However, the company's CEO Carlos Ghosn said during a Japanese TV program the car will actually be able to cover 249 miles (400 km) before running out of juice.

 

We weren't able to find the original source of the information but Tokyo-based Daily Kanban says they saw the interview and talked to a Nissan engineer who specified the model "could be no more than one model cycle away" so expect a launch in a couple of years, likely in 2016 when the second generation Leaf is programmed to come out.

 

Chances are Nissan will decide to sell the Leaf with more than just one battery packs so we assume the quoted 249-mile range will be applicable only for the largest battery available. Regardless of battery size, the 2016 Leaf is bound to receive a more conventional styling, with a chromed "V" in the front grille and blacked out pillars.
