“Response
from Canadians since we first revealed the Nissan LEAF in 2009 has been
astounding so we’re not surprised that our first inventory of 40 model
year ‘11 cars were snapped up so quickly,” said Judy Wheeler, Director
of Marketing, Nissan Canada, Inc. “We expect this momentum to continue
when we reopen reservations for model year ’12 cars in the coming month,
so keep your eyes open for more and more Nissan LEAFs driving around
Canadians cities soon.”
Delivery
to the first wave of consumers will begin in September and continue
into the fall. Nissan is carefully managing the purchase process from
the first step, when consumers sign up on www.nissan.ca/leaf,
until the customer drives the Nissan LEAF home and plugs it into a
personal charging dock. Through Model Year 12, Nissan expects to release
around 600 Nissan Leaf on the Canadian market through several waves of
reservations into next year.
Reservations for Model Year 12 Nissan LEAFs will open in the coming months and be:
· Open to those registered at www.nissan.ca/leaf
and living within the vicinity of a Nissan LEAF certified dealer. All
details, including exact timing for the opening of reservations, will be
distributed via email in advance.
· A $99 reservation fee (fully refundable) is required to secure a reservation.
· After booking a home-charging assessment, customers will receive an invitation to order a Nissan LEAF.
· Customers
request a quote from a local Nissan LEAF-certified dealer and will
continue through the sales process until they drive away in their own
Nissan LEAF.
