The New Nissan LEAF has been awarded a 5-Star rating by the European New Car Assessment Programme.

The Euro NCAP assessment has been improved and the protocols have been extended for 2018. The New Nissan LEAF is the first car to be assessed against the updated Euro NCAP and earned a 93% rating for adult safety and an 86% rating for child protection.

The New LEAF went through several vehicle tests that reflect real-life accident scenarios that could result in injuries. The New LEAF 5-star rating reflects the advanced driver assistance systems packaged on the car. Technologies such as camera and radar feature extensively to provide benefits such as pedestrian recognition and form the basis of Nissan’s acclaimed ProPILOT system for safer, more confident driving. 

Gareth Dunsmore, Electric Vehicle Director, Nissan Europe, explained, “The Euro NCAP announcement proves what we have known for a long time – that the new Nissan LEAF has exceptional safety standards and is a true pioneer in the EV space. This shows that our customers can fully trust our Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision, we are on a path to transform the way we drive and the way we live.”
