If you’re one of the many people searching for an eco-friendly vehicle (and also one that will help save you money on fuel), the new Nissan Leaf is ideal. Get to know this electric vehicle, which starts at an affordable $27,400 MSRP.
Power and Performance
The base Nissan Leaf comes with an electric motor and a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery that combine to put out 147 horsepower. The other option is equipped with two electric motors and a 62-kWh lithium-ion battery that produces 214 horsepower. A one-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard. This new Nissan car has great maneuverability, and its regenerative braking system works very smoothly.
MPGe, Driving Range, and Charging Time
The Nissan Leaf gets 111 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) combined city/highway, which is a very good number for the class. With the smaller battery, it can go up to 149 miles on a full charge. The bigger battery increases that to 226 miles. Using a 240-volt outlet, you can get your Nissan hatchback completely charged in 7.5 hours. With DC fast charging, you can get up to an 80-percent charge in 40 minutes.
Interior
The two-row Nissan Leaf has room for up to five people. Manually adjustable front seats and cloth upholstery come standard. You can upgrade to get an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, leather upholstery, and heated front seats.

Nissan LEAF Charging and Range
The LEAF charges three ways. A standard 120V household outlet works for overnight top-ups and adds the least range per hour. A 240V Level 2 home charger is what most owners install, and it handles a full charge overnight. DC fast charging at public stations is the quickest option and is built for road trips rather than daily use.
Most LEAF owners charge at home and rarely use public stations, since typical daily driving around Woodbridge, Avenel, and Linden falls well within a single charge. Our team can walk you through home charger installation and what to expect from charging costs compared to fuel.

Nissan LEAF Service and Battery Care
Electric vehicles need less routine maintenance than gas models — no oil changes, no spark plugs, no exhaust system. What the LEAF does need is tire rotation, cabin air filter replacement, brake fluid service, coolant checks, and periodic battery health inspection.
Regenerative braking means LEAF brake pads often last considerably longer than on a gas vehicle, though the fluid still needs changing on schedule. Our technicians are trained on Nissan EV systems and can run battery diagnostics as part of a service visit.
Schedule service at 855-387-8787 or book online. More detail on EV upkeep is on our electric vehicle maintenance page, and battery service is covered at our battery center.
