Instant Power and Range The LEAF offers two electric motor options to cater to different power and range needs. The base powertrain features a 110-kW electric motor producing 147 HP and 236 lb-ft of torque. This motor comes with a 40kWh lithium-ion battery pack that gives you up to 149 miles of range on a full charge. Using the available Quick Charge Port, you can charge this battery up to 80% in just 40 minutes. more In case you need more power and range, the 160-kW motor has you sorted with its 214 HP, 250 lb-ft of torque, and 60 kWh lithium-ion battery pack with up to 212 miles of range! Despite its much larger capacity, the 60-kWh battery can be charged up to 80% in just 60 minutes using the Quick Charge Port, allowing you to cruise without range anxiety. Thrilling Handling and Ride Quality The Nissan LEAF feels like a high-performance car for several reasons. For starters, the instantaneous torque from its electric motor, coupled with the lack of gear shifting, creates an exhilarating sense of acceleration, as if you're being launched into another dimension. This adrenaline-rushing experience is complemented by the LEAF's low-slung design, thanks to its heavy battery pack, which lowers the car's center of gravity and keeps it firmly planted on the road, offering exceptional stability and control even at high speeds. Despite its thrilling performance, the LEAF remains remarkably comfortable to drive, reducing driver fatigue. In "e-Pedal" mode, simply easing off the accelerator engages regenerative braking, naturally slowing the vehicle while recapturing that energy to recharge the battery. The rack-and-pinion steering is highly accurate and responsive, enhancing the LEAF's engaging driving dynamics, while the independent front strut suspension and torsion beam rear suspension absorb road imperfections effortlessly, ensuring a smooth and cushioned ride. Spacious and Comfortable Interior The LEAF's cabin boasts 93 cubic feet of passenger volume, ensuring ample lounging room for all five passengers. Cargo space is abundant, too, with a total of 30 cubic feet of cargo volume. Further comfort comes in the way of available heated seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, automatic climate control, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, voice recognition, navigation, and SiriusXM, and a premium 6-speaker sound system.
