THE 2022 NISSAN LEAF IS STILL A GREAT EV - POV DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Nissan Leaf, particularly the SL Plus trim, is presented as a highly practical and comfortable daily driver, excelling as a second car for local commutes rather than long road trips. The reviewer praises its normal, unassuming design, spacious interior with ample cargo room, and exceptionally comfortable "zero gravity" seats. The driving experience is highlighted for its smooth, instant power delivery and a well-tuned one-pedal driving system (e-Pedal) that is considered among the best, rivaling Tesla's. The Pro Pilot Assist is noted as a capable highway driver-assist system. However, the Leaf's limitations include a less-than-ideal charging curve and the phasing out of its CHAdeMO connector. The Bose sound system is deemed adequate but not exceptional for the price point. While not a sporty car, its comfortable ride, user-friendly interface, and competitive pricing make it a compelling, straightforward EV option for many buyers.
