Years after its debut as the world’s first mass-produced electrical vehicle, the Nissan LEAF still proudly wears the badge of being one of the most practical, good-value, convenient, and easy-to-operate EVs on the road today. The 2024 Nissan LEAF carries on this legacy with a range of thoughtful interior and exterior features geared toward the modern driver.

1. It Has Two Trim Levels

The 2024 LEAF is offered in two versions, each offering great value for those interested in purchasing an EV. The base trim, LEAF S, comes standard with 16-inch wheels, automatic climate control, four USB ports (two front and two rear), rear parking sensors, a responsive eight-inch display, and smartphone compatibility.

The other trim level, the SV PLUS, upgrades the base model with a built-in navigation system, heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, LED headlights, and heated side mirrors. Additionally, this model allows you to use your smartphone to manage certain aspects of your vehicle, including checking and setting cabin temperature, starting the engine remotely, and initiating the charging process.

2. It Boasts Efficient Performance

The base trim of the 2024 LEAF is powered by a long-lasting 40-kWh lithium-ion battery that’s good for an EPA-estimated range of 149 miles. In contrast, the SV PLUS has a larger battery capacity, approximately 60 kWh, which significantly extends its range to about 212 miles.

Driving the LEAF is also convenient, thanks to the e-Pedal feature. When enabled, it allows you to start, speed up, slow down, and even bring your vehicle to a complete stop using only the accelerator pedal.

3. It’s Easy To Charge

Every LEAF model comes standard with a portable charging cable, allowing you to charge your car wherever a 120-volt or 240-volt outlet is available. Furthermore, your LEAF is designed to work with most DC fast chargers. When plugged into a high-voltage port, the LEAF S can charge up to 80 percent in 40 minutes, while the LEAF SV PLUS achieves the same charge level in approximately one hour.

4. It Has Plenty of Advanced Safety Features

Nissan has outfitted every LEAF model with the Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of six advanced driver assistance technologies consisting of Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, Rear Automatic Braking, and Rear Cross Traffic Detection. To keep you safer on the road, these systems go beyond warning and may actively intervene when necessary or preferred.

5. Its Battery is Warranted

The battery pack of the LEAF is protected by a limited battery warranty covering workmanship and material defects for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. During this period, your Nissan LEAF will also be covered by a second warranty that protects against rapid loss of battery capacity. If it loses more than 3 bars before the warranty period expires, Nissan will replace or repair the battery under the terms of the warranty.
