Nissan: All-new Nissan LEAF set for on-demand ‘2018 LEAF Drive and Discover’ consumer test-drive tour

Nashville, Tenn. – Time is at a premium for today’s consumers, and test-driving vehicles isn’t always easy to fit into a busy schedule. To help alleviate this concern, Nissan is launching its 2018 LEAF Drive and Discover program, a concierge test drive program that allows consumers to experience the all-new Nissan LEAF1 at their convenience via an appointment-based delivery platform in select cities.

“Even though schedules are exceedingly busy these days, we wanted to make it is easy for people to experience the all-new Nissan LEAF,” said Brian Maragno, director, Nissan EV Marketing and Sales Strategy. “Delivering the all-new LEAF directly to a consumer’s desired location allows them to experience it precisely when and where their schedule allows.”

Nissan kicks off the program in each city by hosting consumer events with the all-new LEAF on display along with branded giveaways for visitors. Guests will be able to talk with Nissan product specialists and schedule their LEAF test drive while visiting the display space.
