The announcement has been made at this year’s edition of the Tokyo Motor Show. Nissan Leaf is the only model which won three “Car of the Year” in a single year, therefore, the fully electric car from Nissan is clearly a success.

“This award is as much a win for Nissan as it is for our customers. We have delivered on our promise of affordable, zero-emission mobility on a global scale. All these accolades show that zero-emission vehicles can clearly be competitive alternatives to conventional ones,” said Nissan President and CEO Carlos Ghosn.
