Nissan Leaf Specs, Electric Power & Dimensions (2009–2017) — First Generation
The first-generation Nissan Leaf combines a practical five-door hatchback body with quiet electric driving. For everyday commuting, its appeal depends on how comfortably its range and charging needs fit your routine.
The Nissan Leaf’s electric powertrain drives the front wheels through a single-speed reduction gear, giving you smooth acceleration without gear changes or a clutch pedal. Nissan Leaf horsepower tells only part of the story: the motor’s immediate response helps the car feel lively when pulling away in urban traffic.
