This front grille piece is transparent to the radar and ultrasonic sensors for the ProPilot Assist hardware. The charge ports are above this grille as seen in some spy photographs that have been published.
Nice! I like the carbon fiber look on the charge port cover.NeilBlanchard said:

The new #Nissan #LEAF with ProPILOT Park, premieres September 6
YOKOHAMA, Japan (July 1, 2017) – Nissan revealed today that the forthcoming new Nissan LEAF will be the first vehicle in the automaker’s global product lineup equipped with ProPILOT Park. The technology helps drivers park by automatically guiding the car into a parking spot.
ProPILOT Park liberates drivers from one of the most tedious, and at times the most challenging, tasks of driving. It gives you confidence that you can park perfectly.
Sonars and cameras on the new Nissan LEAF effortlessly guide the car into a parallel, angled, front or straight back-in parking spot, reducing driver stress by handling accelerator, braking and steering input. The driver activates the technology in three easy steps, monitors the area around the vehicle and applies the brakes if necessary.
This technology represents another milestone in Nissan’s ongoing commitment to bringing accessible, advanced driver assistance technologies to mainstream vehicles. Set to make driving safer and more enjoyable, the development of ProPILOT technologies is part of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the company’s blueprint for transforming how cars are driven, powered and integrated into society.
By launching the LEAF, the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle, Nissan established itself as a pioneer in the EV movement. Today, the Nissan LEAF is the world’s best-selling electric vehicle, with more than 270,000 sold worldwide.

How many ICE cars have the king of "rope LEDs" you decorate homes for Christmas with, draped over the headlights?
IMO not correct. "Average" person wants his car to look cool and unique. But not in a weird way i.e. not too far from contemporary design. Nothing to do with ICE.alozzy said:I think that Nissan finally figured out that the average person doesn't want an EV to look different, they want it to look indistinguishable from an ICE car.
