All the evidence suggest that the new 2018 Nissan LEAF is shaping up to be a much better car than its predecessor. It’ll come with some semi-autonomous features and improved efficiency, a key part of which is a new shape that is so slippery (aerodynamics-wise), you may want to put a harness on it!

It’s all great of course, but if the 2018 Nissan LEAF is going to look anything like its predecessor – which is to say, crap – all that technology is not going to help it sell. Fortunately, as the teaser image above and the silhouette below show, the new LEAF looks a lot sharper than the outgoing model:

The improvement in aerodynamics of the new Nissan LEAF has been achieved by employing a number of tricks. First there is the shape of the whole thing which is, sort of, teardrop inspired by airplane wings. The engineers have also lowered it to the ground, reducing drag and improving stability while making it easier for the accelerating mass to cut through the air. Other new design features significantly stabilize the car when hit by strong crosswinds, meaning you will enjoy an overall much more refined driving experience.

2018 Nissan LEAF will be officially revealed on September 6, 2017.
