Nissan Leaf 2017–2025 car dimensions: 4490 mm long, 1788 mm wide and 1530 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,580 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 435 litres.
The cabin has automatic climate control as standard, with a timer function. Basic cruise control and speed limiter come on all grades. Higher grades add a 7-inch or 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Reversing camera arrives from Acenta, while front and rear parking sensors plus 360-degree camera are on N-Connecta and Tekna. Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, lane departure warning and intelligent lane intervention are standard across the range. ProPILOT adaptive cruise and lane centering is limited to upper grades.
Boot space measures 435 litres with the rear seats up and expands to 1176 litres when they fold 60/40. The load floor has a step when seats are down and the lip is high, so heavy items need lifting. Higher grades with Bose audio lose a little volume.
The Leaf is not rated for towing in Europe, with no factory tow hitch option and zero braked or unbraked capacity listed. Payload sits between 355 kg and 415 kg depending on equipment, based on a kerb weight from 1580 kg and 1995 kg gross vehicle weight. Roof load is limited to 35 kg. It suits light daily loads and family use but is not set up for heavy work or trailers.
The cabin feels quiet and refined thanks to extra sound insulation in the floor, sides and arches. Front seats are manually adjustable with height for the driver. higher grades add heated front and rear seats plus a heated leather steering wheel via a heat pack. Automatic climate control is standard. Five seats and a 435-litre boot suit family use, with a calm, composed ride.

The car runs solely on electricity from its 40 kWh battery. Charge at home on a domestic socket or wallbox, or use CHAdeMO rapid chargers for 80% in 40-60 minutes. Range and consumption figures come from WLTP testing. real-world figures vary with temperature, speed and load. Heat pump is optional on some grades to help cabin heating efficiency.
Servicing is simpler than a combustion car with no oil, plugs or timing belt. Intervals are time or distance based, commonly annual or every 30 000 km. Brake fluid, cabin filter and coolant checks form the core work. Fixed-price dealer services are available and costs stay lower than equivalent petrol models.
It earned a full five-star Euro NCAP rating under the stricter 2018 protocol, with strong adult and child protection scores. Standard safety includes front, side and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, hill start assist and autonomous emergency braking that detects pedestrians. Higher grades add ProPILOT adaptive cruise and lane keep, blind-spot warning and 360-degree cameras.
Battery health is covered for eight years or 160 000 km provided capacity stays above the threshold. Keep the car by following the service schedule, avoiding deep discharges where possible, and using the app for remote climate preconditioning. Overall ownership is low-maintenance with good residual interest in the used market.
