The new Nissan Leaf has taken top honours at the Consumer Electronics Show's (CES) annual CES Unveiled ceremony, presented by the Consumer Technology Association. Each year, the Consumer Technology Association announces its CES Best of Innovation award winners as part of the build-up to the January CES in Las Vegas, U.S.A, which will see a special display of the new Nissan Leaf for 2018.

As confirmation of Nissan's leading investment in innovation, the Nissan Leaf 100 percent electric vehicle with ProPILOT (known as ProPILOT Assist in North America) and e-Pedal technologies took the following honours - CES Best of Innovation award winner for Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology, and CES honouree for Tech for a Better World. The new Nissan Leaf brings a compelling package of everyday-useful innovations and technologies to more people worldwide than any electric vehicle has done before.

The car is helping to make the world a better place not only through innovation, but also through accessibility to more people. Additional capabilities such as vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid integration (availability depending on market) help owners know they can waste less and give back more. The new Nissan Leaf is on sale in Japan and will be arriving at Nissan dealers in the U.S.A and Canada over the next two months. Production for Western Europe starts in December 2017 and goes on sale from February 2018.
