日产上周五的声明表面上是宣布2019款聆风的价格，但实际上的意思是“未来的车型续航里程将进一步增加”。这或许指的是E-Plus版本，该车配备160千瓦电池（比标准版增加了60千瓦），预计续航里程225英里（约合362公里）。而现行版是150英里（约合241公里）。同时，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间从原来的8.5秒降至6.5秒。据说E-Plus还具备了直流快充能力，可使用100千瓦而非50千瓦充电器，同时还额外增加了热能管理系统。2019款聆风的价格与2018款车型一样，聆风S起价29990美元（约合人民币20.54万元），聆风SV售价32490美元（约合人民币22.25万元），聆风SL售价36200美元（约合人民币24.8万元）。

 

Higher range Nissan Leaf coming, just not right now

Ostensibly, Nissan's statement on Friday was for the purpose of announcing pricing of 2019 model year Leaf electric vehicles. However, deep within the press release was this sentence: "A longer-range version will be available in the future."

 

This is probably a reference to the suspected E-Plus version, which uses a 160 kW battery pack (60kW more than the standard version). The estimated range would be 225 miles, as opposed to the current 150 miles, while 0-60 time would drop from 8.5 seconds to 6.5. The E-Plus is also said to have DC fast charging capabilities of about 100 kW rather than 50 kW, and an additional thermal management system.

 

For now, though, it appears the 2019 Leaf is soldering on unchanged. Pricing carries over from 2018 as well, starting at $29,990 for the Leaf S, $32,490 for the SV, and $36,200 for the SL. Even without the upgrades, it shows no sign of relinquishing its crown as the best-selling electric car in the world, with a tally of 348,000 sold.
