Nissan LEAF

Overview

The Nissan LEAF is the company's battery-electric five-seat hatchback, sold in the United Kingdom as the all-new LEAF. Nissan's UK specification page lists it in Engage, Advance, Engage+ and Evolve trims, with two battery sizes: 52 kWh and 75 kWh. The 52 kWh battery is offered on Engage and Advance only, while Engage+ and Evolve use the 75 kWh pack.

Range and charging

On the WLTP combined cycle, the page gives 387 miles for the Engage with the 75 kWh battery, falling to 361 miles for the Evolve with larger wheels. The 52 kWh Engage is listed at 280 miles. The 75 kWh version delivers 218 PS and charges on DC at up to 150 kW, with an estimated 10 to 80 percent charge in 35 minutes. The 52 kWh version delivers 177 PS and accepts up to 105 kW, also with an estimated 35 minutes for 10 to 80 percent. Both carry an 11 kW on-board AC charger.
