The All-New Nissan LEAF is named The Sun’s Car of the Year

Freshly launched and already making waves, the All-New Nissan LEAF has claimed The Sun’s prestigious Car of the Year award!

The Managing Director at Nissan GB, James Taylor, shared his excitement: “We’re absolutely thrilled the All-New Nissan LEAF has been recognised as The Sun’s Car of the Year. As the brand’s newest 100% electric model and most aerodynamic production car to date, it showcases the latest Nissan technology and engineering know-how and, of course, follows in the footsteps of the groundbreaking original LEAF, the world’s first mainstream electric car.”

Nissan Qashqai with New e-POWER takes Hybrid Car of the Year

It’s innovation that keeps on delivering! For the second consecutive year, the Nissan Qashqai with New e-POWER has been awarded Hybrid Car of the Year.

Taylor added: “We’re also tremendously proud that Qashqai with New e-POWER has been named Hybrid Car of the Year for a second consecutive year. It’s recently been updated with an all-new, third-generation e-POWER system and delivers the best of all worlds: the responsive refinement of an EV, the convenience of petrol and the range of a diesel car. Even better, both Qashqai and the LEAF represent the best of British: engineered and built right here in the UK.”
