With electric cars becoming more common on the road, it might be time to finally take one out for a spin. The 2024 Nissan LEAF is one of the best EVs on the road with a comfortable, spacious cabin, a smooth drive feel, and a quiet driving experience.

 1. Responsive Powertrain

The 2024 LEAF has two powertrain options. The entry-level S model has a 40 kWh battery and a 110 kW electric motor that generates 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. The highest trim, the SV PLUS, has a 60 kWh lithium-ion battery and a more robust 160 kW electric motor that provides 214 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. 

On top of having excellent acceleration and steady handling, each LEAF model has a front-wheel drive drivetrain and an impressive electric driving range. The EPA-estimated electric range for the S model is 149 miles, while the SV PLUS model has a 212-mile electric range. 

2. Intuitive Driver Assistance

The base S trim comes with an e-Pedal, which rules your acceleration and braking with a single pedal while also activating the regenerative braking system. This model has standard safety technology such as intelligent blind spot intervention and intelligent lane intervention to help your LEAF avoid collisions. 

This model also comes with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, high beam assist, and intelligent trace control. A standard rear sonar system makes it much easier to maneuver your LEAF S when you are parking or reversing, while a rearview monitor provides rear visibility inside the cabin, so you don’t have to twist your body around. 

3. Thoughtful Convenience

The S model has an automatic temperature control system, rear door alert, and an easily adjustable tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel column. To maximize your convenience, this EV has push-button start and the Nissan Intelligent Key. The Nissan Intelligent Key lets you open the door or the trunk and activate the engine without fishing out your keys. For drivers who worry about being locked out of their vehicle, the Intelligent Key eliminates this worry. 

4. Outstanding Fuel Economy

Finally, test driving an electric vehicle like the Nissan LEAF might cinch the deal if you’ve been on the fence about EV fuel efficiency. The base S trim gets 123 MPGe in urban areas, 99 MPGe on the interstate, and 111 MPGe combined. The SV PLUS model also has a great fuel economy with 121 MPGe in the city, 98 MPGe on the highway, and 109 MPGe.  The best way to tell if the Nissan LEAF is right for you is to take the EV out on the road.
