The Leaf has been given a makeover for the 2024 model year, and its enhanced features make it a more enticing choice than ever. Here are just some of the benefits to explore…

City-Friendly Power and Performance

Urban conditions are where the benefits of EV performance likely show up most clearly, with instant electric torque providing agile acceleration that makes navigating stop-go traffic a breeze. The Leaf’s EV powertrain offers two fully electric configurations, each balancing great performance with fast charging and a substantial driving range.

The first option is based around a 110kW electric motor and a 40kWh battery, pushing 147 horsepower and 236lb-ft of torque to front-wheel drive with all the surging acceleration you’d expect from an electric powertrain. The maximum driving range is a healthy 240km, with a 0-80% charging time reaching as low as 40 minutes.

The second configuration pairs a more powerful 160kW motor with an expanded 60kWh battery, raising the driving range to 342km while boosting the output to 214 horsepower and 250lb-ft. Combine the extra power with an efficient charging time of around 60 minutes, and this Leaf makes a perfect choice for drivers with longer daily commutes.

Upscale Interior

The Leaf’s spacious interior provides a high level of comfort for up to five passengers, with standard features including heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and automatic temperature control with heating and air conditioning.

Moreover, the cabin also offers excellent convenience and comfort, with 668L of cargo space as standard, rising to a capacious 850L when the 60/40-split rear seats are fully folded down.

Advanced Infotainment and Technology

All trims in the Leaf lineup feature extensive infotainment facilities, accessed through a customizable 8-inch touchscreen that puts your most-used features within easy reach. Smartphone integration is standard through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the 2024 refresh now puts advanced door-to-door navigation into every model.

The Leaf also features a dedicated smartphone app for monitoring charging progress while you grab a coffee, as well as allowing remote control of features including climate control and door locking for an even greater level of comfort and convenience.

Class-Leading Safety Systems as Standard

Lastly, the 2024 Leaf is equipped with an extensive range of safety and driver-assist systems to help you drive with confidence. Key highlights on every model include:

• Intelligent automatic forward braking with pedestrian detection, making either gentle slowdowns or emergency full stops as needed
• Forward collision warnings monitoring up to two vehicles ahead
• Lane-departure warnings with steering and braking assist
• Blind-spot warnings to guard against dangerous lane changes
• Rear cross-traffic alerts and rear automatic braking for greater reversing safety
• Driver-alertness monitoring with audible and visual warnings if drowsiness is detected
• Intelligent cruise control with full-speed range holding

For families with younger or more inexperienced drivers, extra reassurance is provided by the customizable alerts system, which can warn via smartphone when the Leaf is driven above a certain speed, outside a preset time period, or beyond a maximum distance from home.
