The Nissan LEAF is the best selling electric car of all time, selling almost 300,000 copies worldwide so far. The second generation 2018 Nissan LEAF has more range at 241km, a bigger battery, more power at 147hp and more torque. The Nissan LEAF offers more range than comparable electric cars costing a similar amount, starting at roughly $36,000. The interior features seating for 5-passengers and standard heated front and rear seats plus a heated steering wheel. The base model comes with a 5-inch display audio screen but the middle SV and SL trim get a larger 7-inch screen and this is the level that also gets Android Auto and Apple Car Play. The middle and upper trim also come with proPilot assist. Driving the all-new Nissan LEAF is rewarding thanks to instant torque, a low centre of gravity and a quite cabin. The biggest change is the e-peddle that provides one-foot driving to optimize the regenerative braking. This takes a while to learn but can produce greater battery range. The LEAF comes standard with LED headlamps and forward collision warning , plus autonomous braking.
Direct competitors to the all-new Nissan LEAF are the VW e-Golf, Hyundai IONIQ, Chevy Bolt, Chevy Volt, Ford Focus Electric and Kia SOUL.
