However, few details regarding to next gen Leaf was revealed. Which means they haven’t told us how much it will cost or how much range it will have. However, we do know that the new Leaf will be equipped with Nissan’s ProPilot autonomous driving technology. The camera-based ProPilot system is designed to allow the company’s cars to function autonomously in certain highway driving conditions.
