The 2024 Nissan Leaf is a battery-electric hatchback with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the ZE1 generation. The e+ is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured e+ version develops 214 hp and 340 Nm (251 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.9 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 157 km/h (98 mph). Its power output is about 21% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 17% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 62.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 385 km (239 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 16.1 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 100 kW. Its listed range is about 10% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,480 mm (176.4 in) in length, 1,790 mm (70.5 in) in width, and 1,545 mm (60.8 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,700 mm (106.3 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 435 litres (15.4 cu ft), expanding to 1,176 litres (41.5 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,640 kg (3,616 lb). That cargo volume is about 30% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric hatchback models from the same period, the 2024 Nissan Leaf is strongest on cargo capacity and power, while range stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
