Nissan Leaf now without entry-level Visia trim

At least in Portugal, Spain and France you can no longer order the entry-level Visia of the Nissan Leaf.

With fewer trim levels to choose from, production complexity and costs are reduced. No need to waste time and resources to produce a trim level that customers don’t want. Acenta has always been the most popular trim level on the Nissan Leaf and it’s now the entry-level trim.

I see this as good news, furthermore Nissan is not only adjusting the trim levels, but also the prices. Let’s see the evolution in Portugal.

Considering that Nissan is about to discontinue Leaf’s gas counterpart (the Pulsar), the Leaf will be alone in this segment. Nissan seems now focused in making this model a success, even before the arrival of the long-range version – that’s coming next year.
