“The price is high for what it is, the design is outmoded, and the range per charge is very short - BUT it's 100% better than any gas-powered car.”

About the 2024 Nissan LEAF
2nd gen (2018-2025), second year after the 2023 styling update and trim-range simplification.
Nissan markets the LEAF as an easy way to go electric without giving up everyday practicality. The hatchback body carries five people, home charging fits daily life, and the brand emphasizes quiet driving, zero tailpipe emissions, smartphone integration, and a broad standard safety package. In today’s market it is not the long-range EV choice; it is the approachable commuting EV for buyers who want a familiar small-car shape and simple electric ownership.
The S is the straightforward commuter version, with a 40-kWh battery, 147-hp motor, one-pedal driving, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The SV PLUS is the longer-range, better-equipped version, pairing a 60-kWh battery and 214-hp motor with a 212-mile EPA range, adaptive cruise and lane-centering support, a 360-degree parking camera, and heated front seats.

2024 Nissan LEAF
(17 reviews)
“The Leaf is an excellent vehicle for around-town and regional driving. For longer trips, it takes a little planning, but is still very workable. It is a VERY smooth ride, it is very comfortable, and is a blast to drive. It also has great safety features.”
“The vehicle is not travel friendly. Does not charge quick at charging stations so be wise about trips.”
