2022 Nissan Leaf

1. Two powertrain options

If your favorite people and places are all nearby, or your downtown location means the world is on your doorstep, then the 2022 all-electric Leaf could suit you perfectly. The entry-level Leaf S and SV models are powered by a 40-kWh battery, good for an EPA-estimated range of 149 miles on a full charge.

Want to head further out? If that destination spa out in the country is calling your name, check out the Leaf Plus models for more range. The Leaf Plus S has a 62-kWh battery, boosting range to an EPA-estimated 226 miles on a full charge and an EPA-estimated 215 miles of range on the higher trims when fully charged.

2. Plenty of standard tech

The 2022 Leaf is generously appointed with standard tech you'll use every day. The Leaf has an e-Pedal, allowing you to start, accelerate, decelerate, hold, and reach a full stop with an easy on-or-off touch of the accelerator pedal. Connect to your motivational morning playlist via Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ functionality, or check in with your favorite person on the ride home thanks to the Leaf's Bluetooth^® hands-free calling system.

3. Great driver aids

Nissan doesn't hold back when it comes to driver assistance, with lots of standard and available features that will enhance your awareness as you drive in traffic. If your days are spent crisscrossing the city moving from one task to the next, it's nice to have standard features such as the Leaf's automatic emergency braking and blind spot intervention to support your own awareness of fellow road users.

Driving in dusk and darkness? Standard high beam assist automatically switches up your headlamps to accommodate oncoming traffic, while the available driver attention warning sensors (Leaf Plus SV and SL) can alert you to signs of driver fatigue.

4. People-centered space

Yes, you can have a spacious hatchback. The Leaf has a grown-up look and feel to its dimensions, accommodating front-row passengers with upright Zero Gravity seating that fits your body ergonomically and bathing the cabin in light thanks to the broad glass panes. Second-row passengers, big and small will feel at home too, enjoying 33.5 inches of legroom, easy-in-easy-out door access, and two full sets of LATCH fixtures in the outboard positions for your youngest travelers.

5. Great exterior style

This second-generation (2018-present) LEAF maximizes its exterior style with vibrant premium colorway options. The aerodynamic front fascia incorporates a bold grille and a discrete front-mounted charging port. To show off your personality and make this Leaf your own, the exterior paint options for the 2022 models offer monochrome moments and carnival shades in equal measure. Shades of black, white, and silver have a sophisticated appeal, while the standout orange and red shades, Sunset Drift and Scarlet Ember, add some passion to your otherwise smart and sensible electric dream.
