Expert Rating

Our expert ratings are based on seven comprehensive criteria: quality, safety, comfort, performance, fuel economy, reliability history and value.

You can interpret our ratings in the following way:

: Outstanding vehicle. Only the most exceptional vehicles achieve this rating.

: Very Good vehicle. Very good and close to being the best vehicle in its class.

: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.

: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.

: Poor vehicle. Simply does not deserve to be on the road.

Overview



The Leaf comes in a trio of trim levels – S, SV and SL – and all three feature an 80 kW AC motor that produces 107 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque. A 24 kWh lithium-ion battery with 48 compact modules provides energy, and a single-speed reducer delivers power to the front wheels. The 2013 Leaf can now exceed the 73 miles that the 2012 model could drive on a single charge. Nissan estimates the Leaf will get 130 MPGe in the city and 102 MPGe on the highway, which clearly beats out its direct competitors – the Ford Focus Electric and Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

Leaf ownership presents some complications. Without gasoline backup, running out of power leaves you stranded. Also, charging stations are still few and far between, and longer trips require special planning. Lastly, the base model has the same internal charger as the 2012 model and requires its longer 4- to 8-hour charging time.
