Japanese Domestic Market (JDM)
Nissan Leafs manufactured in Japan for use in Japan are known as JDM models. These vehicles are commonly exported used, and sold in many markets around the world.[1]
Key characteristics
- They are Right-Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles
- They have mostly Japanese writing on the buttons, and Japanese language for the AV Control Unit, Around View Monitor Control Unit and Combination Meter.
- They typically come with a factory-installed toll device which is not usable in other markets
- They come with an EVSE designed for Japan's 100V power supply, which is not suitable for other countries which use 120V or 240V.
- They can be equipped with features not found in other markets, such as:
- a factory-installed dashcam which is controlled through the AV Control Unit.
- an electronic rear-view mirror which can be switched between standard mirror mode and a rear camera feed (from a dedicated camera which looks through the rear window)
- "Music Box", a feature of the AV Control Unit which can automatically rip CDs and store them
