2023 Nissan Leaf Specs, The Leafs have front-wheel drive. The regular Leaf S has a 147-horsepower electric motor and a 40.0-kWh battery pack, which are both small by today’s standards. The Leaf SV Plus gets a more powerful 214-hp electric motor and a bigger 62.0-kWh battery. An S scored a 7.4-second zero-to-60-mph time on our test track, but it feels a lot faster because of the electric motor’s rapid power delivery. This results in it being slower than the Bolt EV and the Model 3. Upgrading to the more powerful Plus model will definitely result in faster acceleration, but we won’t know for sure until we can test one.
The Leaf may be charged by plugging it into a standard 120-volt outlet or a 240-volt outlet, however, charging periods vary greatly between the two. Nissan claims that with a 240-volt connection, both the normal Leaf’s battery and the bigger one in the Leaf Plus can be recharged in seven hours. All trims include a DC fast-charging port as standard. The Leaf S has a 40.0-kWh battery that offers a relatively short range of 149 miles. This may be sufficient for some drivers with short commutes, but it is less than half of the range provided by Variant 3’s Long Range model. Because of its bigger battery pack, the SV Plus has an EPA-rated driving range of 215 miles.
Although the Leaf’s cabin is almost all black plastic, the well-assembled and uniform textures keep it from seeming cheap. A huge analog speedometer sits adjacent to a 7.0-inch digital readout that can be adjusted to show a variety of displays. The seats in the Leaf are La-Z-Boy comfy, and the large back seat has enough room for people. Despite the fact that the Leaf’s back seat does not fold flat, we found its cargo capacity to be among the finest in its class. We were able to stow seven carry-on baggage behind the back seat and 19 with the rear seat folded.
All Leaf versions use the same 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, which supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; navigation is available. While not visually appealing, the current Nissan Connect software interface is intuitive and responsive to inputs. The Leaf’s conventional six-speaker audio system may disappoint audiophiles; a seven-speaker Bose system is offered, but it did not wow us during our test drive.
