The Leaf maintains its recognizable hatchback design, featuring a sleek profile with aerodynamic lines and a distinctive front fascia. Its compact dimensions make it well-suited for urban driving.
Inside, the Leaf provides a spacious cabin with comfortable seating for up to five passengers. The dashboard is equipped with an 8.0-inch infotainment display that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. While the interior materials are practical, some competitors offer more upscale finishes.
The Leaf offers a comfortable ride with ample headroom and legroom for occupants. The rear seats can be folded to expand the cargo area, providing flexibility for transporting larger items. However, the cargo space may be less than some rivals when the rear seats are in use.
Standard features include the NissanConnect infotainment system with smartphone integration, navigation, and a suite of driver-assistance technologies such as automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. The available ProPilot Assist offers semi-autonomous driving capabilities for added convenience.
The Leaf is powered by an electric motor driving the front wheels. The base S trim comes with a 147-horsepower motor paired with a 40-kWh battery, providing an EPA-estimated range of 149 miles. The SV Plus trim features a 214-horsepower motor and a 62-kWh battery, offering a longer range of up to 212 miles. While the Leaf delivers zippy acceleration suitable for city driving, its range and charging capabilities lag behind newer competitors.
The Nissan Leaf remains an affordable and practical choice for those seeking a compact electric vehicle primarily for short commutes and daily errands. However, its limited driving range and slower charging capabilities may be considerations for potential buyers, especially with the availability of newer EVs offering longer ranges and faster charging.
