Its popularity with our customers has resulted in many of them already buying their second and third variants of the car from our dealerships in Halesworth and Bury St Edmunds.”
Nissan's global head of marketing, sales and electric vehicles, Executive Vice President Daniele Schillaci explained, “The LEAF remains the icon of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, our strategy for moving more people to a better world.”
