How does the 2024 Nissan Leaf drive?
Our expert take on Nissan Leaf drivability.
Both versions of the Leaf are powered by a single, electric motor driving the front axle, hooked up to a lithium-ion battery pack.
The standard Leaf features a 110kW/320Nm electric motor and a 40kWh battery, good for a WLTP range of 270km and a 0-100km/h time of 7.9 seconds.
The Leaf e+ features a 160kW/340Nm electric motor and a 62kWh battery, with range increased to 385km and the 0-100km/h time dropped to 6.9 seconds.
Both models require the use of a CHAdeMO charger when topping up the battery with DC power. To go from 20 to 80 per cent on a DC fast charger takes an hour in the Leaf and 1.5 hours in the Leaf e+.
A 7kW AC wallbox charge takes 7.5 hours in the Leaf and 11.5 hours in the Leaf e+.
Charging takes 32 hours using a conventional 10A three-pin wall socket, reducing to 11 hours 30 minutes with a 32A Type 2 AC charger.
The Leaf e+ is compatible with 100kW DC fast charging (the standard Leaf does 50kW), allowing for the battery to be replenished from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in as little as 45 minutes – 15 minutes less than the standard Leaf on a 50kW DC charger.
Should a 50kW DC charger be all you have access to, the Leaf e+ should take 90 minutes to charge from 20-80 per cent.
Nissan claims an energy consumption figure of 18.0kWh/100km.
2024 Nissan Leaf Warranty
The Nissan Leaf range is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with five years of roadside assist.
