Nissan LEAF
The Nissan LEAF is a victim of rapid evolution and progress in the electric vehicle segment. The second generation was introduced for 2018 and received updates last year, but it’s no longer competitive in terms of range and technology. In fact, the high-end model (SL Plus) is not returning for 2024. The base SV generates 147 horsepower and enables 240 km of pure electric driving, while the SV Plus is rated at 214 horsepower and 349 km of range.
