Almost every electric vehicle you see today is still figuring things out. Not the LEAF. It’s been doing the electric thing for over 15 years now and has clocked over 12 billion electric miles, more than any EV out there. That kind of experience shows it knows how to live the EV life. Now, what does the 2025 Nissan LEAF have to offer you?
Leading the Charge With the 2025 Nissan LEAF
Two Battery Options
The smallest battery you’ll find in the 2025 LEAF is a 40-kWh unit. It comes standard on the base S trim and gets up to an EPA-estimated 149 miles on a single charge. The top-spec SV Plus trim features a larger 62-kWh pack that can take you up to 212 miles. It also brings a serious power bump (214 horsepower vs the S trim’s 147)
Three Charging Options
The 2025 LEAF supports three charging methods. The most basic way is using a standard 120-volt household outlet and the portable charging cable included with every model. While this method takes longer (adds about 2 to 5 miles an hour), it’s gentler on the battery and works well for light daily driving.The standard charging cable can also handle Level 2 charging. On this setup, the smaller battery hits full charge in about 7.5 hours. By contrast, the larger pack needs closer to 11 hours. The third option, DC quick charging, is the fastest but should be used sparingly. It refills the 40-kWh battery in 40 minutes and the 60-kWh battery in 60 minutes.
Space To Recharge In the S Trim
Electric bit aside, the 2025 LEAF is well-equipped. The base S trim comes with cloth seats, room for five, four speakers, and a full lineup of driver assists, like Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.Up front, there’s an eight-inch touchscreen display and a two-part instrument cluster consisting of a physical speedometer next to a reconfigurable seven-inch digital display. Also, its cargo space is among the best in class. You can fit up to seven carry-ons behind the rear seats and up to 19 with them folded.
Room To Level Up in the SV Plus Trim
Apart from packing the longest range, the SV Plus sharpens the LEAF’s edge. Highlights include a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated power front seats, built-in navigation, a six-speaker audio system, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. ProPILOT Assist (Nissan’s semi-autonomous driving system) and 360-degree surround view camera are standard fare.The 2025 LEAF offers just about everything you need for comfortable, efficient, and safe driving.
