3 Innovative Features of the 2025 Nissan LEAF
Powerful and Efficient Powertrains
The Nissan LEAF comes with two advanced electric powertrains to serve different needs and budgets. The base power plant consists of a 147-HP AC Synchronous motor with up to 236 lb-ft of torque. Backed by a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, it delivers up to 149 EPA-estimated miles of range on a single charge, making it excellent for commuting and running errands. Equipped with a 50 kW Quick Charge port, it requires only 40 minutes to charge to 80%!
For those craving more power and roaming freedom, a 214-HP motor with an incredible 250 pound-feet of torque is available. It comes with a 60-kWh battery pack that provides a whopping 212 miles of range on a single charge! The best part is that it also charges up pretty quickly, too, needing only 60 minutes to receive an 80% charge, limiting downtime and range anxiety. It is perfect for those who love road trips or make long commutes.
Performance-Focused Engineering
The 2025 LEAF delivers an exciting driving experience, powered by its performance-focused engineering. Thanks to its one-speed transmission and the instant torque delivery of its electric motor, acceleration feels more like a smooth surge than a buildup, translating to exceptional passing prowess. Meanwhile, the floor-mounted battery pack lowers the LEAF’s center of gravity, resulting in unwavering stability and limited body roll when cornering, allowing you to execute high-speed maneuvers with confidence.
But that’s not all, as the brake-actuated limited-slip differential actively optimizes torque distribution to ensure you always have ample traction, enhancing handling precision even further. And with the speed-sensitive electric power-assisted rack-pinion steering delivering excellent feedback, the LEAF is an absolute joy to drive. Meanwhile, one-pedal driving makes longer journeys less fatiguing by allowing you to use one pedal to both accelerate and brake the vehicle.
Cutting-Edge Safety and Driver Assistance Features
The Nissan LEAF comes with a suite of standard and available state-of-the-art technologies to ensure your safety and driving convenience. They include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, intelligent lane-keeping assistance, a 360-degree camera system, rear cross-traffic alert, a rearview monitor, high beam assist, hill start assist, and more!
