Does it have a Bose stereo with rear sub-woofer and Around View cameras that show a view of the car from "above" to help parking?

Nope. So no.
A good 30kwh Leaf with no substantial capacity loss is still worth something, as it's a true 100 mile BEV, as currently defined.

We’ll wait to see what the trade in number is before we decide to trade. The sales manager is good with that. Otherwise I’ll sell it privately. About once per month I charge it overnight to a 100 percent for a certain road trip. Still always charges north of 190 km on the GOM. Little deceiving though. Speed limits are low in this valley. Max 100 kmh and many at 90 kmh. At those speeds the GOM is always bang on.

What about launching the Leaf Plus AWD for $39,900. If they could tweak up range a few miles (maybe use the 16" Rims on all trims as well), to say 235 miles, it would be an interesting value prop vs. the SR+. Similar range, but with dual motors. Tech still isn't as exciting, many people don't care about fart mode or video games. IF they could do it with the larger LCD, it could be quite interesting.

+1 on the 16 inch wheels. Bigger sidewalls allow you to pump up the tires for efficiency without creating a bone-jarring ride, and reduce the likelihood of damage when you hit potholes. Shrink the brakes a bit too so that 15s will fit for winter wheels. A vehicle with regenerative braking doesn't need to worry about brakes overheating.

With the caveat that regen is mostly off when your battery is above certain levels. They may have to calculate the brake size based on a full charge condition of the battery.

A full charge at the summit of a mountain pass? I suppose it might happen if there was a charger there and someone got distracted and didn't unplug before the battery was full. Seems unlikely to be a common occurrence though.
Regardless, cars as heavy as the Leaf including pickup trucks and 70s land yachts regularly came with 15 inch wheels in years past. I'm sure it would work for the Leaf even if someone was silly enough to head down a long steep grade with a full charge.

I heard Nissan is going to guarantee the 2020 will increase your child bearing productivity by at least 25%.
That's right, the EV is sexy. Guaranteed.

Here is some information on the 2020 LEAF for the JDM. A subset of this will be part of the 2020 car for other geographies:

Thanks. My guess is none will make it into the 2020 North American leaf as it seems to me it would have been announced by now.

The part most likely to make it into WW production is the blindspot/collision avoidance feature as it uses the existing blindspot monitoring and lane keep assist technologies.

Interesting. I wonder if that ev cgarge station navigation software could be OTA updated later.
Also. They are talking about a 9 inch display. Seems to me the existing Eplus is an 8 inch display. Hmmm

It looks like no Battery changes For 2020
Apparently one of the posters here was actually seeing / hearing an actual 2020 LEAF near Smyrna charging here: https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=30662&p=573998&hilit=2020+smyrna#p573981
The article referenced above by Orient does say that a new sound called "canto" would be used as the pedestrian warning sound. The Smyrna poster reported hearing a "tron" like sound which matches the sound originally revealed here: https://youtu.be/p4cjPk8mqEM
The Smyrna person also reported a "large" screen so that seems to match the article stating upping the size to a 9", which is 1 inch bigger than the 8" unit on all plus units. It likely also has the full LCD instrument display with no physical Speedo.
Would be interesting to see what other features make it to production in the USA. Given that the debut isn't until 2020 Feb in Japan, it's likely around then we will hear for sure what really be in the NA / Europe versions.

So you think it might be a mid year change or do you think Smyrna is already producing Leafs with 9 inch screens.
