Which 2024 Nissan Leaf Should I Buy?
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Nissan Leaf that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
1. 2024 Nissan Leaf S (40-kWh Battery)
- Base Price: $28,140
- Range: 149 mi
- Battery Capacity: 40.0 kWh
- Peak Charge Rate: 50 kW
- Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
- Engine: 1 electric motor
- Horsepower: 147
- Torque: 236 lb-ft
- Weight: 3,509 lbs
- Length: 176.4 in
The base Leaf has a (relatively) low starting price on its side, but 149 miles of range isn't much these days. Unless you're just going to use it for errands around town, upgrading to the Plus with its bigger battery seems like a no-brainer.
2. 2024 Nissan Leaf SV Plus (60-kWh Battery)
- Base Price: $36,190
- Range: 212 mi
- Battery Capacity: 60.0 kWh
- Peak Charge Rate: 100 kW
- Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
- Engine: 1 electric motor
- Horsepower: 214
- Torque: 250 lb-ft
- 0-60: 6.8 sec
- Weight: 3,900 lbs
- Length: 176.4 in
The Leaf Plus is obviously more expensive than the base Leaf, but you get so much more in return, including a roughly 75 extra miles of range and a big dollop of horsepower.
