Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

Updated: 4/22/2026

Nissan was the first automaker to build a practical electric vehicle at an attainable price. That EV was the first-generation Leaf, a compact five-door hatchback that paved the path for the affordable electrics to follow it. The latest 2024 Leaf follows the same formula, though in some ways it's lost a lot of its pioneering spirit.

The base 2024 Leaf provides about 150 miles of standard driving range. Upgrade from the base S trim level to the SV Plus, and it supplies about 212 miles of driving on a full battery. Compared to some rivals, these are uncompetitive figures. However, now that Chevrolet has discontinued the Bolt EV, the 2024 Nissan Leaf does have one thing in its favor: price. We expect it to have one of the lowest sticker prices of any EV you can buy for 2024. If the Leaf fits into your lifestyle, we suggest acting sooner rather than later as Nissan has announced plans to discontinue the Leaf in the next year or two.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Cameron Rogers

Good

7.9

out of 10

We drove the 2024 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 Hyundai Kona and Kia 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 you're going around turns.

Comfort

8/10

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 — they still have a nice level of give and aren't overly confining. The Leaf's ride is smooth and nicely controlled. It's in the Goldilocks zone — 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 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. It's worth upgrading to the SV Plus trim level to get ProPilot Assist. It adds a more advanced adaptive cruise control system and lane-keeping assistance 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

7/10

How are the range and efficiency? The Leaf Plus SL we tested has an EPA-rated range of 212 miles, which is about average for the mainstream EV segment. The EPA also estimates that it consumes electricity at the rate of 31 kilowatt-hours per 100 miles driven. That's a little less efficient to drive than some rivals such as the Chevy Bolt (28 kWh/100 miles).

In Edmunds' real-world testing, the Leaf Plus' range slightly outperformed its estimate, going 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 nonetheless unremarkable for a non-luxury EV.

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 our test vehicle were downright handsome. The base Leaf offers 149 miles of EPA-estimated range. The Leaf SV Plus costs thousands more, but you do get a range of up to 212 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.

2024 Nissan LEAF trim level differences

The 2024 Nissan Leaf is a compact electric hatchback available in two versions: the base S and the SV Plus. The Leaf S has a 40-kWh battery pack that's good for an EPA-estimated 149 miles of range.

The Leaf SV Plus also has a more powerful 214-horsepower electric motor compared to the base model's 147-hp motor. Notable features include: Compare the 2024 Nissan LEAF trim levels in-depth.

Which LEAF trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend stepping up to the SV Plus trim because it offers a more powerful electric motor and a larger battery with a longer driving range. In addition, the Leaf SV Plus adds numerous comfort, convenience and safety features.

2022 Nissan LEAF SV PLUS 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)

We purchased a SL Plus a few months ago. Its a great car. We charge it about once a week - the 225 range is perfect for our use pattern. The level 2 charger (included) was easy to install at our garage after we upgraded the outlets. Inside its very comfortable with great visibility. The Media and dash are simple to use and more like a traditional auto. The EV related menus are …

Nissan Leaf vs. Hyundai Kona Electric

The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric gets a complete redesign, and it's a more sophisticated and technologically advanced EV than the Nissan Leaf. In addition, the Kona supplies longer driving range on a fully charged battery, comes with a generous list of safety features, and offers ownership perks such as complimentary connected services for three years. The Leaf has a substantially lower base price and, well, that's about it. Take a closer look at the Hyundai.

Nissan Leaf vs. Kia Niro EV

A redesigned Kia Niro EV went on sale last year, and aside from its unusual styling, it makes a strong argument for spending a little more money than you would on a long-range Leaf SV Plus. You'll drive the Kia farther on a fully charged battery, and the Niro EV's design and technology are far more modern than what you'll find in the Nissan. The Kia also has more sophisticated infotainment and safety features. But the Niro EV does cost more than the Leaf.

Nissan Leaf vs. MINI Hardtop 2 Door

The Mini Cooper SE Electric can travel just 114 miles on a full battery charge, compared to 149 miles for the base Leaf S and 212 miles for the Leaf SV Plus. In addition, the Mini is a two-door hatch with a smaller back seat and cargo area than the Nissan's. But with its low starting price, the Cooper SE Electric might be worth considering if you need a car exclusively for local commuting. After all, what the Mini lacks in size and stamina it makes up for with personality, and then some.

Safety

Our experts like the LEAF models:

ProPilot Assist: Includes stop-and-go traffic-adaptive cruise control and can keep the car centered within a lane to reduce driver fatigue.
Blind Spot Intervention: Automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot.
Automatic Emergency Braking: Warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time.
