Discover the All-New Nissan LEAF at Fish Brothers Nissan


​First launched in 2010, the Nissan LEAF was introduced as a mass-market, all-electric car. The latest generation moves the name forward with a longer driving range, updated technology and practical space for five people.

Whether you are considering your first electric vehicle or replacing an existing EV, here is what the All-New Nissan LEAF offers.


Two battery options

The All-New Nissan LEAF is available with 52kWh and 75kWh battery options.

The 52kWh LEAF Engage has an official WLTP combined range of up to 280 miles. The larger 75kWh battery offers up to 387 miles in LEAF Engage specification.

These official laboratory figures are useful for comparing vehicles, but they are not guaranteed real-world distances. Actual range will vary with factors including speed, driving style, weather, temperature, vehicle load and use of heating or air conditioning.

Rapid and home charging

Using a compatible DC rapid charger, Nissan states that both battery versions can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 35 minutes under specified test conditions.

An 11kW onboard AC charger is also available. Nissan states that the 75kWh battery can charge from 10% to 100% in as little as seven hours using a compatible 11kW home charger.

Google Maps is integrated into suitably equipped versions of the LEAF. Its route-planning system can suggest charging stops using information including the predicted battery level and real-time charger availability. Battery preconditioning can prepare the battery before a planned rapid-charging stop.

Smooth and responsive electric performance

An electric motor delivers torque without waiting for a petrol or diesel engine to build revs, helping the LEAF respond promptly when pulling away.

Nissan’s UK technical specifications list the following performance figures:

  • 52kWh model: 0–62mph in 8.6 seconds
  • 75kWh model: 0–62mph in 7.6 seconds
  • Maximum speed: 99mph for both battery versions

The LEAF uses a single-speed electric drivetrain, so there are no conventional multi-speed gear changes. There is also no combustion-engine noise, although drivers will still hear tyre, wind and legally required low-speed warning sounds.

Technology and equipment

Equipment varies according to the model and grade selected. Available features include:

  • Dual NissanConnect display screens
  • Google built-in with Google Maps, Google Assistant and Google Play
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • ProPILOT with Navi-link driver-assistance technology
  • Battery preconditioning
  • Remote charging and cabin-temperature controls through the NissanConnect Services app
  • Dimming panoramic roof
  • Head-up display
  • BOSE nine-speaker audio system
  • Vehicle-to-Load capability for powering compatible electrical equipment

Some connected services require a compatible phone, mobile data, an account or a subscription. Vehicle-to-Load availability also depends on the selected grade and equipment, and a compatible adaptor may be required.

Practical space for everyday journeys

The All-New LEAF has five doors, five seats and a 437-litre luggage compartment with the rear seats in use. Folding the rear seats increases the quoted luggage capacity to 1,052 litres.

Its official dimensions are 4,350mm long, 1,810mm wide excluding mirrors and 1,550mm high.


Why might drivers consider an electric car?

Reasons will vary from one driver to another, but potential benefits include:

  • Charging at home when suitable off-street parking and charging equipment are available
  • Scheduling charging for an off-peak electricity period, subject to the household’s energy tariff
  • Smooth acceleration and the absence of conventional gear changes
  • No tailpipe emissions while the vehicle is being driven
  • A quieter powertrain than a comparable combustion-engine vehicle
  • Remote control of selected charging and climate functions

Whether these benefits result in lower overall costs will depend on factors including electricity prices, charging arrangements, annual mileage, finance, insurance and taxation.

WLTP figures are intended for vehicle comparison. Real-world range and energy consumption vary according to driving style, speed, road and weather conditions, temperature, vehicle load and accessory use. Charging times depend on factors including charger output, battery temperature, ambient temperature and starting charge. Features and specifications vary by model and grade and may change. Driver-assistance systems do not replace the driver’s responsibility to remain alert and in control. Always follow applicable speed limits.
