2024 Nissan LEAF Changes
As a carryover model, there are no changes to Nissan’s uppercase LEAF for the 2024 model year. Prices have increased by around $100, and the range still includes two trims paired with different lithium-ion battery and electric motor combinations.
Choosing Your 2024 Nissan LEAF
There isn’t a great deal to choose from across the two-model LEAF range. Prices for the EV start at $29,235 including destination for the base S, while the more powerful and better-equipped SV PLUS costs $37,285. There are no other configurations on offer.
2024 Nissan LEAF Engine Options
The 2024 Nissan LEAF engine range starts with a 110 kW electric motor and 40 kWh battery, generating a modest 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Performance is enhanced by the SV’s adoption of a more powerful 160 kW motor and 60 kWh battery, boosting output to 214 hp and 250 lb-ft.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque |
110 kW | 147 hp | 236 lb-ft |
160 kW | 214 hp | 250 lb-ft |
2024 Nissan LEAF Fuel Economy
2024 Nissan LEAF fuel economy stands at an EPA-estimated 123 miles per gallon city, 99 mpg highway, and 111 combined in S models, dropping to 121/98/109 in SV guise. Range on the more expensive model increases to 212 miles compared to 149 in S trim. Nissan claims it’s possible to restore 80 percent charge to either car’s battery within 45 minutes, depending on how powerful the DC quick charging infrastructure is.
2024 Nissan LEAF Towing Capacity
The LEAF is not a suitable tow car, and no towing capacity is listed.
2024 Nissan LEAF Dimensions & Cargo Capacity
2024 Nissan LEAF dimensions include a 106-inch wheelbase, which provides 33 inches of rear legroom for the three rear passengers inside this 176-inch vehicle.
2024 Nissan LEAF cargo space stands at 23.6 cu ft with the rear seats in place, and an underwhelming 30 cu ft once they’re dropped.
2024 Nissan LEAF Safety
Every LEAF has regenerative braking, brake force distribution, and brake assistance, but only SV models receive automatic brake hold. S models get basic cruise control, whereas SV buyers receive Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist platform; this is also the only trim to benefit from an around-view monitor, LED headlights and driver alertness monitoring. However, both models have automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection (including rear braking), blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts, lane intervention technology and eight airbags throughout their cabins.
2024 Nissan LEAF Technology
With an eight-inch touchscreen and seven-inch digital information display in its gauge cluster, the LEAF doesn’t set any new standards for infotainment technology. Base models receive a paltry two-band radio and four speakers, while even SV has a modest six-speaker setup. This is also the only model to receive navigation, though every LEAF benefits from smartphone integration, satellite radio, and a variety of USB-A and C ports.
2024 Nissan LEAF Trims & Prices
2024 Nissan LEAF S – MSRP from $29,235
Build & Price >From its disappointing audio system to its 16-inch steel wheels, the cheapest LEAF feels like it. It has old-fashioned halogen headlamps (which do at least come on automatically) and manually adjustable cloth front seats. Concessions to comfort include power outside mirrors, climate control, keyless entry with push-button start, power locks, and windows.
There are no packages available on either LEAF model.
2024 Nissan LEAF SV PLUS – MSRP from $37,285
Build & Price >SV specifications are far more in keeping with modern buyer expectations. Its superior power and performance are fed to the road through 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, with other external embellishments including fog lamps, LED lighting, heated outside mirrors, and a surround-view camera system.
Inside, you’ll find heated front seats with 8-way power adjustment and lumbar for the driver, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. This is the only LEAF to come with navigation as standard, while two additional speakers are fitted.
S models are too basic, making SV the only trim we’d recommend, despite its price premium.
