Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Nissan LEAF is a true carryover with no major changes from 2024. It remains the final model year of the second-generation LEAF hatchback.
About the 2025 Nissan LEAF
2nd generation LEAF hatchback (2018-2025), final model year before the all-new 3rd-generation 2026 LEAF crossover.
Nissan positions the LEAF as an approachable everyday EV built around instant electric response, simple charging, and easy commuting. The brand emphasizes zero-gas driving, helpful driver-assistance features, smartphone-friendly infotainment, and hatchback cargo flexibility rather than luxury or high performance. For most buyers, the LEAF is a compact electric runabout for daily trips and home charging, with its biggest advantages being familiarity, practicality, and a long-running EV track record.
The S is the straightforward commuter version, with a 40-kWh battery, one-pedal driving, an 8-inch touchscreen, and standard driver-assistance features. The SV PLUS adds a 60-kWh battery, more power, highway driving assistance, a 360-degree camera, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

2025 Nissan LEAF
(20 reviews)
“Great choice if never intend to take a long trip with it. local use only. small battery capacity and Chademo make it a no-go for any roadtrip. level-1 charger is sufficient to top off daily if you don't drive more than 70 miles a day”
“The Nissan Leaf is a great choice if you want an affordable, reliable EV with smooth handling and zero emissions. Ideal for daily commutes!”
