2020s
Nissan LEAF
As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in 2020, it had a major impact on people’s lives, including how they worked. The automobile industry saw a temporary fall in vehicle production and sales, although demand later recovered. Existing trends toward digitalization and electrification gathered momentum, and mobility entered a new evolutionary stage.
Even in this age of upheaval, Nissan continued to move boldly forward as a leader in electrification. The Nissan Ariya, unveiled in 2020, was a next-generation EV that embodied the company’s future-oriented thinking and advanced technological capabilities. It symbolized Nissan’s electrification strategy for the 2020s.
In 2022, Nissan launched the Sakura, an all-electric minivehicle that broadened the range of choices available to EV purchasers.
The Nissan LEAF, the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle, sold over 700,000 units worldwide. In 2025, the next generation of the Nissan LEAF set a new standard for EVs, offering a range of up to 303 miles of EPA-estimated range per charge.
Meanwhile, Nissan’s proprietary series-hybrid system, e-POWER has continued to evolve, expanding its lineup and availability around the world since its debut in the Note in 2016. They offer the distinctive quiet, smooth ride of an electric motor while using their engines to generate the necessary power. The X-Trail in particular combines drivability with fuel efficiency at a high level, meeting a diverse range of electrification needs.
Nissan continues to pursue ever greater heights of environmental, safety and driving performance as it works to create a cleaner, more exciting mobility society.
