2013 Nissan Leaf Drive-away Price Drops Below $40,000 For Australia

Nissan has slashed the price of its Leaf electric hatch for the second time since December, with buyers now able to drive away for $39,990. 

The new drive-away figure, about $15,000 less than its launch price last year, follows a limited-time price cut that saw the Leaf available for $46,990.

This latest incentive is also a limited-time offer, available until the end of October. 

Nissan says the reduced price is designed to broaden the appeal of the Leaf, and to "capture the attention of buyers considering an EV who might have previously been put off by the comparatively higher purchase price" of electric vehicles.
