leat just hasn't been updated in 10 years

I thought I read it got a fairly big update recently. I'll have to check on that when I have some time.

I was searching a few years ago, so makes sense they'd update it right after I got mine

That's how my life works too haha.

And also why I'm so hesitant to settle for a body style I dislike (seriously, crossovers: be a sedan, be an SUV, or be a station wagon; trying to be all 3 is just failing at everything...but I digress lol). As soon as I settle and buy one, I just know they'll bring back sedans.

I would have loved a sedan, but none exist here. I figured that hopefully by buying a Kona it would show that at least one american is buying the smallest car he apparently can. It was a good tradeoff.

As for sedans making a comeback, I doubt it. Sadly, I think the industry has firmly moved away from them.

There have been three generations of leaf, updated 2017 and 2025. Now 225 miles range with active temp control for battery.

Nissan has sold over 650,000 leaves.

I think that was this year, so in 2024 it was super outdated but it's better now. I think it's also a crossover now unfortunately
