If you’re looking to dip your toes into the electric vehicle scene, the 2025 Nissan LEAF offers an excellent, budget-friendly option. Its powerful electric powertrains provide thrilling acceleration, impressive range, and quick-charging capabilities to ensure maximum fun and convenience.
Sprightly Power
The Nissan LEAF darts through city traffic with ease while effortlessly outrunning most cars on the highway, thanks to either of its potent electric powertrains. Coming standard is a 147-HP 110 kW electric motor that delivers up to 236 pound-feet of torque, sending the base LEAF from 0 to 60 mph in just 7 seconds, making merging and overtaking a breeze.
Meanwhile, the LEAF SV Plus is equipped with a 160 kW motor that generates a remarkable 214 HP and 250 pound-feet of torque, enabling it to rocket to 60 mph in 6 seconds, making it one of the quickest cars on the road today.
Impressive Range and Fast-Charging Capability
The LEAF’s everyday practicality is solidified further by its outstanding fuel economy and short charging times, eliminating the range anxiety that commonly afflicts electric vehicle drivers. The standard 40 kWh lithium-ion battery pack gets a jaw-dropping 123 MPGe, allowing the base LEAF to enjoy nearly 150 miles of range on a single charge. And when you start running low, it only needs 40 minutes at a DC fast-charging station to attain an 80% charge.
The LEAF SV Plus comes with a bigger 60 kWh battery pack that boasts an EPA-rated 121 MPGe, resulting in a whopping 212 miles of range per charge. And despite its larger size, it still charges up lightning-fast, requiring only 60 minutes to achieve 80% using a DC fast charger.
Thrilling Handling
The Nissan LEAF is tremendously fun to drive, thanks to its performance-oriented engineering. First off, its heavy, low-slung battery packs provide exceptional stability by lowering the car’s center of gravity, resulting in outstanding composure at all times. Next, its brake-actuated limited-slip differential continuously adjusts torque distribution to minimize slippage and maximize grip, especially when cornering. Together, these elements give the LEAF exceptional cornering prowess, allowing you to execute high-speed turns with ease and confidence.
Meanwhile, one-pedal driving reduces fatigue by either slowing down the vehicle or coasting when you take your foot off the pedal.
Spacious Upscale Interior
With over 90 cubic feet of passenger volume and 30 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume, the LEAF is as practical as the ideal daily driver can get. It enhances the quality of the ride with available premium amenities, including heated seats, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and navigation, a 7-speaker Bose Premium, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and more!
