NISSAN has introduced a LEAF Black Edition to its line-up of the world's biggest selling electric motor.

Based on the Acenta grade of LEAF, its features include 16-inch black alloy wheels, LED headlamps, black door mirror caps and black rear roof spoiler.

In addition, the Black Edition has blue-stitched mats to give the interior a premium finish.

It also comes equipped with Nissan's latest technology as standard with each model, including the NissanConnect EV telematics system and intelligent around view monitor.

It's on sale now and is priced from £26,890 including the £4,500 government plug-in vehicle grant.

The limited edition model is a restricted production run up until August, 2017, with the first 200 customers receiving a free Wi-Fi hotspot - capable of pairing with up to eight devices.

Because of its electric drivetrain the LEAF offers instantaneous torque when accelerating, has a zero emiission range of more than 150 miles and has a chassis engineered specifically for UK drivers.

The car is built at the Nissan factory in Sunderland and is the world's best selling electric car with more than 250,000 on the road globally.
