Nissan LEAF
A true pioneer in the field of electric cars, the LEAF offers an operating range of 172 kilometres in its SV and SL trims, thanks to a 30-kWh battery. Otherwise, the standard 24-kWh battery is good for 133 kilometres of range. The LEAF delivers a surprising comfort and impressive soundproofing—making it nothing like a gas-powered car.
