Close encounters of the electric kind as Nissan takes its All-New Nissan LEAF and MICRA on tour
Motorists in the South West of England and South Wales area are invited for a close encounter with Nissan’s latest 100% electric models.
An ambitious tour of more than 130 Nissan showrooms across the UK – called ‘Electric Encounters Live’ and featuring the All-New Nissan LEAF and MICRA – is now under way and will be visiting a Nissan Wessex Garages for our tours on 27th November in Bristol, 2nd December in Gloucester, 3rd December in Newport or 4th December in Cardiff.
The exclusive preview event will feature dramatic reveals of both models and presentations from product experts. Guests will be able to sit inside both cars, so they can experience first-hand the smart technology of the new third-generation LEAF and the audacious style of the sixth-generation MICRA.
In addition, there will be exciting pop-up experiences, goodie bag giveaways and prizes (terms and conditions apply), plus complimentary refreshments and a range of other immersive, fun activities.
Since its debut in 2010, the Nissan LEAF has sold close to 700,000 units worldwide, earning its place in history as the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle. Now, Nissan is ushering in a new chapter for this nameplate, re-designed and re-engineered to meet the needs of modern EV customers, while remaining true to its roots.
As Nissan’s most aerodynamic production car to date, All-New LEAF has a substantially increased maximum range of up to 375 miles on a single charge. It also offers enhanced charging speeds and a suite of technologies to make driving easier and EV ownership more rewarding, including Google Built-In, which gives access to Google Maps without a phone, plus app and game downloads from Google Play.
Meanwhile, the All-New Nissan MICRA returns as a fully connected, pure EV. Combining an assertive personality with zero-emission mobility, the car stays true to its guiding principles as a stylish and unpretentious car, characteristics that have underpinned its popularity across five generations and more than 40 years. Like LEAF, the stylish MICRA also offers the latest safety technology and Google Built-In.
Gareth Howells Nissan Brand Director at Wessex Garages said: “We’re incredibly excited to present the All-New Nissan LEAF and MICRA to customers through the Electric Encounters Live tour. Both cars look simply fantastic and are packed with the latest smart technology to make driving simpler, safer and more fun.
“With two brilliant new 100% electric models to show off, this double launch represents a hugely exciting new stage of Nissan’s activity in the UK. We’re incredibly proud of both cars we can’t wait to show people what they could be driving in 2026.’’ Customers interested in attending Electric Encounters Live can sign up at https://nissanelectricencounters.com.
