How the specs compare

This comparison sets the 2026 Nissan Leaf 52 kWh FWD against the 2026 Nissan Leaf 52 kWh FWD.

Both use battery-electric powertrains, allowing a relatively direct comparison of the recorded energy figures.

Performance, power and 0-100 km/h

Their listed outputs are also identical at 177 hp. Both specifications list 345 Nm of torque. These figures describe straight-line potential only; they do not establish braking performance, ride quality, steering response or durability under repeated hard use.

Range, battery, charging and efficiency

Range and energy-use figures are either not shared by both cars or not directly comparable across these powertrain types.

Dimensions, cargo space and towing

Both specifications quote 437 litres of cargo capacity. The two cars share the same recorded overall length of 4,350 mm. Exterior size is not a benefit by itself: a longer body may create useful room, but cargo shape, rear-seat space and ease of parking still require a physical inspection.

Price and overall assessment

The measured categories split evenly, so the better choice depends on which attributes matter most. The assessment is based on the specifications shown here; it is not presented as a two-car road test.
