The 2020 Nissan Leaf gets a lot right. Its range of 150 or 226 miles, depending on the model, is sufficient for most EV shoppers. It's also quiet and has some useful technology features that can make driving in heavy traffic easier and less fatiguing.

In base form, the 2020 Leaf is one of the more affordable EVs around. For the money, you get 150 miles of estimated range and a 147-horsepower electric motor. If you're looking for an accessible EV for typical city commuting, it's a solid choice. Alternatively, you can upgrade to the 214-hp Leaf Plus that has an estimated range of up to 226 miles.
There are more choices for an electric vehicle than ever before. Topping the list is the Tesla Model 3. It's more expensive than the Leaf, but it's a lot more rewarding to drive and has an arguably higher prestige factor. We're also partial to the Kia Niro EV and the Hyundai Kona Electric. These models have crossover SUV-like styling and more range than the Leaf. Overall, however, the pioneering Leaf still has a seat at the table and is certainly worth a look if you're shopping for an affordable and well-equipped EV.
What's it like to live with the Leaf?
Edmunds owned a Nissan Leaf for one year and drove it almost 10,000 miles. To learn more about our experiences, visit the long-term page for our 2018 Nissan Leaf SL. We cover everything from seat comfort to real-world electric range. We found the low maintenance costs and competitive pricing attractive, though its interior gave us an economy-car vibe. Please note that while the 2020 Nissan Leaf is not significantly different than our long-term Leaf, the available Plus trim now has a larger battery for more range. It's the same generation, though, so most of our observations still apply.

out of 10
We drove the 2020 Nissan LEAF on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8/10
How does the LEAF drive? The Nissan Leaf has acceptable performance for jockeying for position in traffic. The standard Leaf posted a reasonably quick 0-60 mph time of 7.8 seconds while the Leaf Plus did it in 7 seconds flat, which is just a hair slower than the top players including the Kona and Niro EVs. The brakes feel smooth, and most routine braking can be handled by easing off the accelerator if you engage the e-Pedal mode, which adds control and a bit of fun to the daily drive.
As with most EVs, smooth, instant power and a total absence of shifting make the Nissan Leaf ridiculously easy to drive. The low-slung battery also helps the Leaf hug the road, and it has the balance and coordination necessary to inspire confidence when going around turns.

Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the LEAF? It's hard to find fault with the Leaf's basic comfort. We like the Leaf's well-shaped and supportive seats, yet they still have a nice level of give and aren't overly confining. The Leaf's ride is smooth and nicely controlled in the Goldilocks zone — it's neither too rigid nor too buoyant. It's good at swallowing large and small bumps alike, but a little road texture feel and intermittent jiggliness do come through.
The Leaf's electric drive components don't make any noise and lack the commotion that a non-EV car makes when it changes gears. Wind and road noise is the remaining potential noise source, but it isn't overly prominent.

Interior
7/10
How’s the interior? There's plenty of legroom and headroom in any seat. The Leaf's cabin isn't terribly wide, but it feels appropriate for its size. Some drivers might find it hard to settle into their ideal position. The driver's seat is mounted somewhat high and may not adjust down far enough to suit the tallest pilots.
Generously sized windows and a fairly low cowl contribute to good visibility, but the rear roof pillar is slightly broader than before and produces a bigger blind spot. Our main gripe pertains to the shifter, which is so odd that it includes its own user diagram.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? We like the Leaf's touchscreen system and its support of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. The optional ProPilot Assist is worth getting. It adds a more advanced adaptive cruise control system and lane-keeping assist functionality that work together to create a driver-assistance system that eases freeway commuting.
Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The Leaf offers an impressive amount of cargo space when the seats are in use. But maximum capacity isn't that easy to use because the seats don't fold anywhere near flat. Small-item storage up front could be better too. The center console box is small and the glove compartment is average in size.
For family duty, the Leaf has wide-opening doors and a near-horizontal roofline that makes it easy to access strapped-in children. The fairly generous amount of backseat room also helps for installing rear-facing seats. The three top tether anchors are easy to use, but the lower car seat anchors are somewhat buried in a gap in the seat cushions.

Range and Efficiency
9/10
How are the range and efficiency? The Leaf Plus SL we tested has an EPA-rated range of 215 miles, which is about average for the mainstream EV segment. It consumes electricity at the rate of 32 kilowatt-hours per 100 miles, making it the least efficient EV in its class by a small margin.
In Edmunds' real-world testing, the Leaf Plus' range slightly outperformed its estimate at 237 miles, and it consumed slightly less energy, at a rate of 27.1 kWh per 100 miles. This observed efficiency, while better than the EPA rating, is still the worst in segment, according to our testing. It's a good thing electricity is still relatively cheap.

Value
8.5/10
Is the LEAF a good value? If you look solely at range versus cost, the Nissan Leaf is a good deal. The interior materials look appropriate for the price point, and the leather seats in the SL look downright handsome. The base Leaf offers 150 miles of range. The Leaf Plus costs thousands more, but you do get 226 miles in return.
Wildcard
7.5/10
The second-generation Leaf looks far less cartoonish (you can say less weird, if you like) than the original model. It also has decent power and can be mildly entertaining to drive. Other EVs, however, offer a bit more personality.
2020 Nissan LEAF trim level differences
The 2020 Nissan Leaf is a compact electric hatchback available in two versions: the regular Leaf and the Leaf Plus. The two differ mainly in their battery. The regular Leaf has a 40-kWh battery that's good for about 150 miles of range. Nissan upgrades the Leaf Plus with a 60-kWh battery that provides 226 miles of range. The Plus also has a more powerful 214-horsepower electric motor compared to the regular model's 147-hp motor. Compare the 2020 Nissan LEAF trim levels in-depth.
Which LEAF trim does Edmunds recommend?
The midgrade SV trim hits the sweet spot for features and cost. First and foremost, it comes with the Charge package that allows for faster charging. Also included are adaptive cruise control, navigation and a better audio system. If you can swing upgrading to the SV Plus, the extra 76 miles of range will go a long way to alleviating range anxiety.

driving has never been this easy
5 out of 5 starsJeff Powers, 03/13/2019
2019 Nissan LEAF SL 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)
This is our second leaf. We had a 2017 SL with the 30kwh battery. It did cause us some range anxiety, surely at first. My wife was very skeptical regarding that car. We made it work and drove it 14,000 miles from July 2017 to April 2018 before we traded it in on the 2018. The new car is so significantly different, my wife prefers driving this car over our luxury sedan. I enjoy … driving this car as well. With the free charging at local charging stations, it is a no brainer if you are into saving money on fuel cost. I have 16,000 miles on this car now, since April 2018, I have spent $65 on a cabin air filter two weeks ago, and that's it. I have done only the free tire rotations as scheduled, otherwise the only reason it goes to the dealership is to charge as I am in the area. I get free refreshments, and hang out for a bit. The dealer I bought it from also has detailed my car twice for me during the maintenance trips. I can't explain how easy this car is to own. I have an 8.1kw solar panel system on my house, so for my wife who's not into waiting around to charge, it doesn't cost me anything to charge at home. I mean it is free. I do not have an electric energy bill since last year when it was installed. We have bought two of these leafs, qualified for all the tax rebates, which from the fed alone was $15,000 combined on our tax return, the state of Colorado gave us $10,000 combined at the time of purchase, and Xcel energy gave us $10,000 straight off the top of the first leaf, but nothing on the second as we chose the zero percent interest loan for the 2018. So we basically got a car for free. We have driven about 30,000 of the easiest and cheapest miles in two nicely equipped Nissan's. I do not plan on trading in the 2018, it gets 150 miles of range in a normal temperature, which is sufficient for the driving we do. I look forward to getting the SL Plus for the times we need the added range. I will be quite happy trading in my BMW, and not missing it... too much.
September 2019: Update
We now have just over 23000 miles on the 2018 Leaf. I would say this has been a fair amount of time to really get to know this car. I will say that it still is a very easy car to own. We have done next to no maintenance. I've rotated the tires twice and taken it in for a rattle in which they removed the full dashboard to finally solve the rattle mystery, something to do with an airbag bolt, and also got a new nissan windshield a couple weeks ago due to a stone chip. Either way, still charging when possible at the local EVGO or the like charging stations. It's quite nice not paying for fuel. The car has held up well, everything still works.
Great EV, just don't pay MSRP/Tesla prices
5 out of 5 starsTori, 06/02/2021
2020 Nissan LEAF SL PLUS 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)
Nissan is currently (June 2021) giving thousands of dollars in incentives, plus state and federal credits that can bring a fully-loaded Leaf Plus down to ~$25,000 or less. At a $42k+ sticker price, it doesn't impress compared to a Model 3, but at $25k after incentives and tax credits, it's a fantastic value with 200+ mile range and lots of great features.
Things I love:
Cheapest car on … the market with ProPilot's capabilities
Cheapest 200+ mile EV
Single-pedal driving feels great in stop and go
Very spacious trunk (coming from a Prius Prime this is wonderful)
Surprisingly powerful motor on the Plus trims (equivalent to the Bolt)
Android auto
Physical controls for climate control (as opposed to on the touch screen)
Things I don't love that you'll have to evaluate to see if they're deal breakers:
Center console sticks into the legroom more than I'd like, but seats are otherwise comfortable
Visibility around the A-pillar is so-so
No option to automatically stop charging at a certain percentage
Touch screen can feel unresponsive at times
A Solid Alternative to Tesla Nation Etc.
4 out of 5 starsEV Guy in CA , 09/30/2020
2020 Nissan LEAF SL PLUS 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)
One year of ownership on the books - and the Leaf has officially become a welcome member of the household. It has done this by providing a fun and reasonably quick driving experience, perfect reliability, delivering its 225 mile range as advertised, and just having a cheeky presence on the road.
I'm a former Tesla owner, so there's no need to explain how the Leaf can't touch the … 0-to-60 figures of anything from the Tesla stable. The SL model has plenty of oomph to zip around town, merge onto the freeway, and cruise along at the typical 75-to-80 mph range on the California highways. Innovation is swell, but it's also pleasant it is to own a car with a traditional dealer network standing behind it. Service appointments are quick and painless, and accessories (extra floor mats etc) are easily attainable. Over the air updates are not part of the equation. But when the car needed a software update for the audio system, I was OK having a Latte for an hour while the dealership did its thing.
If you're a heavy road-tripper, the Leaf likely isn't your best choice. But if you have a 240V fast-charge in the garage, the Leaf fits the bill as a perfect commuter option, with enough range to head to the wineries, lakes, golf courses (yeah - this is Northern CA) for your typical day trip.
There are a few de-merits out there. After a year of tweaking and playing with the audio system, it's still not very impressive for a Bose branded system. Bass and depth are limited, more in line with what I would expect for a "base" audio option. It's still annoying that Nissan cheaped out and didn't include a power passenger seat. And there's some work to do with brake feel. It feels a bit more golf cart than sporty sedan.
On the other hand, single pedal driving is easy and intuitive when the car is in the "Eco-Drive" mode. The intuitive cruise control works like a charm, and I love the 360-camera view option.
Balance it all out, and the Leaf impresses as an EV with that ingrained reliability and careful fit and finish we have come to expect from the Japanese automakers. If you need extended range, this obviously isn't your best choice. But for a price around 30K (purchase price after discounts and Federal / CA incentives), we're quite pleased, and would definitely consider another Nissan EV down the line.
still the best car I ever have
5 out of 5 starsJim Yeh, 11/24/2020
2020 Nissan LEAF S PLUS 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)
after driving this car more than 1.5 yrs, I still like it very much: almost 0 maintenance, extremely low running cost; handles very well, accelerates very well. The list goes on and on. But I will say a few things that I think could use some improvements: no day-time running light, Nissan should not save on safety related things. when I turn off the car, the information about battery … charge level disappears. this should be an easy fix, as the charging timer is set after the car is turned off, so I have to remember the current charge level. Also, instead of setting a charging time, maybe also a level so that I do not over charge? do not know if Nissan has a channel to hear customers' feedback. ah, the car radio unit failed and that's under warranty. i take it a rare incident, just back luck, not an indication of the quality of the car. other than this, no other issues at all.
