NEW NISSAN LEAF FULL TOUR

EV Channels Review

The new Nissan Leaf represents a significant leap forward, addressing long-standing criticisms and embracing modern EV technology. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the ground-up redesign on the CMF EV platform, noting substantial improvements in software, thermal management, and interior space. Key highlights include the addition of route planning with on-route battery preconditioning, native NACS charging port (though limited to DC), and liquid-cooled battery. The reviewer praises the spacious interior, the availability of two battery sizes (53 kWh and 74 kWh), and the potential for up to 303 miles of range. While the top-spec Platinum trim is deemed unnecessary, the SV trim is recommended for its balance of features and price. The reviewer identifies the NACS port being DC-only as the sole significant drawback, but overall believes Nissan has recaptured the Leaf's original revolutionary spirit, provided the pricing remains competitive.
