The model now presented was a creation of Nissan itself, with the purpose of marking an important mark in sales of the electric, in Japan, since its launch in 2010 — nothing more, nothing less than 100,000 units delivered.
The presentation of this new and innovative variant of the well-known 100% electric model, which was given the name of Leaf Open Car, took place this Friday in Tokyo, during a meeting with about 100 personalities, in which the theme was addressed of the “non-emissions society”.
Even without revealing much about the transformations made in the Nissan Leaf, which even led to the car losing not only the roof, but also the rear doors, Nissan has, however, shattered the dreams of potential buyers of this version, by ensuring that the unit now unveiled is a unique work and will not, therefore, be sold.
The controversial Murano CrossCabriolet and the heralded Leaf crossover
Remember that Nissan has already made an experiment of the kind, creating a Cabriolet version of the SUV Murano, the Murano CrossCabriolet, strictly for the North American market. But that ended up resulting in a real flop.
As for the second generation Leaf, it already has, in addition to the hatchback bodywork sold in Japan, Europe and the USA, a saloon variant, exclusive to the Chinese market. Presented at the last Beijing Motor Show last month, as the first 100% electric model to be marketed by Nissan in the country, it changes the name Leaf to Sylphy Zero Emissions.

However, on the way there could also be an SUV or crossover variant, also 100% electric, based on the IMx Kuro concept. Although, at least for now, no release date is set, but guaranteed “within a few years”.
