Nissan Leaf 110kW N-Connecta 40kWh 5dr Auto Review
Category: Electric car
Section: Version review
The Nissan Leaf is reasonable to drive, well equipped and easy to live with. However, the Kia e-Niro and big-battery version of the Hyundai Kona Electric will both go much further on a full charge. True, the standard battery versions of the Leaf may appear good value compared to those rivals if you can live with its shorter range, but the e+ Tekna is far too expensive to recommend, and still has a shorter real-world range than some rivals.
get the best priceTrim: N-Connecta
It's worth considering N-Connecta trim. On top of everything that comes as standard on Acenta trim, you also get part-leather and heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, electric folding door mirrors and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror
Engine: 110kW
With a 0-60mph time of around eight seconds, the Nissan Leaf is nippier than a VW e-Golf if not quite as quick as a Kia e-Niro. You actually have to be a bit gentle with your right foot when accelerating out of junctions or you’ll spin up the front wheels.
