WOULDN’T IT BE COOL IF
YOU NEVER HAD TO STOP FOR GAS AGAIN?
The Nissan LEAF® is 100% electric. That means no gas. None. So forget about the cost of a gallon, and say hello to freedom from the pump. Because the only time you’ll be going to the gas station is whenever you need to put air in your tires.

MARY M., NISSAN LEAF® owner “I love passing by the gas stations.”
MURRAY T., NISSAN LEAF® owner “I love the LEAF because it is the cheapest car to operate of ANY car I have EVER owned.”
BRIAN M., NISSAN “The question is no longer why electric? It's why gas?”
Not 50%. Not 99%.
100% Electric.
No gas, ever.
The 100% electric Nissan LEAF® motor is powered exclusively by an advanced lithium-ion battery that you can charge at home, or on-the-go. Meanwhile, hybrids have to carry around their electric drivetrains plus their gas-engines.
Zero. nothing.
not a puff.
Zero emissions[*]
Most cars—even hybrids—release thousands of cubic feet of CO2 emissions every year. The Nissan LEAF® doesn’t use a single drop of gas. And no gas means no tailpipe, no fumes, and zero emissions.
The New Maintenance See what's not inside the 100% electric Nissan LEAF®.
LESS PARTS.
LESS MAINTENANCE.
Say goodbye to pricey oil changes and tune-ups. With fewer moving parts than any car you’ve ever owned, the Nissan LEAF® is ultra low maintenance.
KATIE M., NISSAN LEAF® owner “Got the 15k mile checkup on my Nissan LEAF—it was just $20 for tire rotation, car wash, battery testing.”
WALTER B., NISSAN LEAF® owner “A couple of weeks ago I went to the gas station—for a car wash.”
PETE M., NISSAN LEAF® owner “Less than 3 cents per mile is what mine costs me. Not even the mighty Prius can touch that!”
WASTE NOT. WANT NOT.
Efficiency in every detail
It’s designed for efficiency, and that doesn't just mean the electric motor. With an aerodynamic body, regenerative brakes, and available LED headlights that use half the energy of traditional ones, the Nissan LEAF® gets more miles and more fun out of every kilowatt.
Aerodynamics
A flat underbody meshes with a front spoiler and rear diffuser, letting it slip through the air with minimal resistance. Up front, headlights deflect air away from the side mirrors, further reducing drag while minimizing wind noise and maximizing range.
The New Brakes
Regenerative Braking
The Regenerative Braking System captures energy while you coast or brake, recycling it back into usable power. A meter on the dashboard clearly displays whether you are consuming power, or gaining energy.
The New Fuel
Battery
With twice the power and half the weight of the nickel-metal hydride batteries used in traditional hybrids, the 24kWh lithium-ion battery helps make your ride ultra-efficient.
Solar Spoiler
The available solar-panel rear spoiler converts sunlight to energy, charging its 12V accessory battery and helping power accessories like the stereo, climate control, and headlights.
CHARGE AT HOME...
Home charging dock
The home charging dock lets you refuel your Nissan LEAF® in the comfort and convenience of your garage. That’s right—you refuel at home.
... AND ON THE GO.
Charging stations
Charging stations by the thousands are springing up all over America. They’re usually located in electric-vehicle-only parking stalls. And with many states offering EVs the unlimited use of carpool lanes, [*] getting to one is a cinch.
PERFORMANCE
THE QUIETEST RIDE GIVES YOU THE BIGGEST THRILL
Do you hear that? No? Good. Because you shouldn’t. Electric motors don’t make noise like internal combustion engines. They just perform like them. They don’t use traditional transmissions with numerous gears and ratios, either. It’s just stop or go. And in the Nissan LEAF®, go means go.
The New Torque
GET UP AND GO!
Performance you wouldn’t get from a V8
You've never driven anything like the Nissan LEAF®, and you've probably never felt anything like its instant torque. The power is there when you touch the pedal. There is no lag, no revving-up or shifting gears—it just goes, up to about 90 miles an hour!
The Sound of the Future
THE NEW VROOM
Incredibly quiet driving
Say goodbye to the vibration and engine noise of every other car you've ever driven. The advanced 80kW AC synchronous electric motor provides the quietest, smoothest ride you've ever experienced.
DARRYL K., NISSAN LEAF® owner “The time between stepping on the accelerator and feeling the car move is the same amount of time between hitting the light switch and seeing the light come on. It’s instantaneous!”
SUNCHARGER, NISSAN LEAF® owner “I've never had a car that is as quiet, smooth, and accelerates as fast as a LEAF.”
LEAFGIRL, NISSAN LEAF® owner “Before owning my LEAF, driving was a chore; now it's a delight.”
INTERIOR
GET PRACTICAL WITHOUT GIVING UP FUN
From the moment you hear its signature power-up chime, you’re in for a blast behind the wheel of the Nissan LEAF®. A heated steering wheel will keep your hands warm on chilly mornings. Ultra modern gauges and an easy-to-read Display Drive Computer puts information like range, battery charge level, and power usage info front and center. Fun that’s efficient. Practical that’s cool. The best of all worlds, all in one car.
INNOVATION FOR FIVE
The Nissan LEAF® is all about efficiency, but that doesn't mean this 5-door, 5-passenger hatchback skimps on interior finish or size. It comes with heated, folding rear seats made partly from recycled bottles, [*] tons of storage, a USB port, [*] climate control, and more. It’s everything you’d expect in a premium car, even if it weren’t electric.
Nissan LEAF®: Jimmy's Favorite Feature of His Nissan LEAF®
Nissan LEAF® owner and 'Go Electric' Blogger, Jimmy S., shares why seating for five is one of his favorite Nissan LEAF® features.
Spacious Interior
The Nissan LEAF® is a roomy 5-seater, with five doors and essentials like generous cup holders and smart storage throughout.
Recycled materials
Nissan developed many of the interior fabrics from recycled materials, like plastic water bottles. [*]
Heated seats
Forget arguments over who’s got shotgun! The stylish, modern, and comfortable light gray or black seats are heated—both in front and in back—so everyone rides in comfort.
Heated steering wheel
The Nissan LEAF® comes standard with a heated steering wheel, so you can keep warm in a more energy efficient way than just cranking up the heat.
SHIFT AHEAD
Drive selector
Park. Reverse. Drive. All the normal settings are there. But why settle for normal? Shift the advanced drive selector into the available B-Mode to increase the regenerative braking force, and brake response.
ROOM TO SPARE
Smart storage
You free up an awful lot of room when you take out things like transmissions, oil filters, and radiators. With the 60/40 split rear seats up, you can fit in three child seats, and still have space for your golf bag in back. Fold them flat, and you’ll have a generous 30 cubic feet [*] of versatility—including a handy cargo well that lets you keep valuables out of sight.
Jimmy, NISSAN LEAF® owner “The interior is impressively roomy and easily accommodates our family; including 3 car seats across the back.”
MARK L., NISSAN LEAF® owner “One of life's simple pleasures on a chilly fall morning: the heated steering wheel in my Nissan LEAF.”
XAVIB, NISSAN LEAF® owner “Its interior is roomy and there is plenty of space once the rear seats are folded to put all my soccer training equipment: balls, cones, practice goals.”
TECHNOLOGY
AS ADVANCED INSIDE AS IT IS OUTSIDE
Nissan Navigation System
The available Nissan Navigation System [*] makes driving your Nissan LEAF® an ultra-efficient and confident experience.
Driving Range
The Driving Range screen pinpoints your current location using GPS, and creates a simple map that illustrates the range of your Nissan LEAF® in real time. As you travel, the Driving Range adjusts to reflect the changing circumstances of your battery charge, current location and driving conditions. [*]
Nearby Charging Stations
The system offers you a map and list of nearby stations, based on your current location. Select one, and the Navigation System will let you know if that station is within your range, and provide directions.
Usage and Energy Economy
The display screen shows your current battery charge, and tells you how much power your interior climate control and other systems are using. The electric motor meter indicates power use during acceleration or regeneration, as well as during coasting or braking, as energy is converted back into the battery pack. Based on all this information, the Energy Economy page offers efficiency-boosting tips.
