If eco-friendly sustainability is your main concern as a driver, then the 2024 Nissan LEAF is a phenomenal vehicle to consider. This EV is full of driver assistance technology, connectivity features, and incredible electric performance prowess. Learn about the key features of this innovative EV before you visit your Nissan dealer.



Sustainable Driving

The LEAF S has an electric motor that provides 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. This EV hatchback has a combined energy efficiency estimate of 111 MPGe and a total electric driving range of 149 miles. The battery has a 40 kWh capacity that pairs well with the one-speed transmission and front-wheel-drive drivetrain. 


The S model has multiple charging options. This EV can be charged in 7.75 hours using a 240-volt AC charger. If you access a public charging station for a DC Fast Charger, a 50 kW DC charger can restore the battery in 40 minutes. The drivetrain also has an Eco Mode to enhance the energy efficiency of the EV in slow-moving traffic. 



Driver Assistance

The S model is outfitted with an Intelligent Around View Monitor for an eagle-eye view of the EV, so you can park in tight spaces or exit parallel parking with more confidence. A RearView Monitor gives you a dedicated view of the back of your vehicle so you can avoid bumping into guard rails, pedestrians, and walls when you are parking. This model also has a cross-traffic alert to send a warning if an obstacle crosses behind your vehicle.


Intelligent Driver Alertness is a feature that learns your driving habits to quickly identify when you may be distracted behind the wheel. The combination of a forward collision warning and blind spot intervention can keep you safe in all flows of traffic by identifying cars that may cause accidents. This model also has a cruise control feature to enhance the efficiency of the vehicle. 



Interior

This EV has automatic temperature control to keep the cabin at your preferred temperature and UV-reducing solar glass to minimize the heat from the sun. An auto-dimming rearview mirror dulls the glare of headlights from vehicles behind you. This model also has two cupholders and four bottle holders scattered throughout the cabin to hold beverages for all passengers.


The S trim has a seven-inch digital gauge cluster so you can see your energy efficiency and battery status at a glance. An eight-inch infotainment screen allows you to control your streaming playlists and audio settings. Smartphone-integrated apps and Bluetooth technology give you the freedom to access your favorite playlists whenever you want.
