Nissan Motor Co. has introduced an updated version of its Leaf electric sedan in Japan, including a new model priced $5,000 below the standard $45,900 car.
All versions of the Leaf now feature a zippier motor and an integrated power system that is 30% smaller and 10% lighter than the one in the original Leaf. Nissan says the updated car shed about 175 lbs, added about one cubic foot of luggage space and gained more responsive acceleration.
