The new Nissan LEAF's design expresses the company's forward-thinking attitude. The design was inspired by the IDS Concept car, which was first shown at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. The front features Nissan's signature V-motion grille, echoing the DNA it shares with Nissan's other global top-sellers, such as the Nissan X-Trail and European favorite, the Nissan Qashqai. However, the grille's blue color, a new signature feature for Nissan's electric vehicles, sets it apart. The floating roof adds style and a sense of movement. The sleek LED headlamps feature Nissan's characteristic boomerang design.
