🚖2018 Nissan Leaf First Drive – Consumer Reports
The new Leaf, with its 40-kWh battery, is Environmental Protection Agency-rated for 151 miles of range.
That’s an improvement compared with the original, pioneering Leaf, but the competition has moved onward—and upward even faster. The Chevrolet Boltcan go 250 miles comfortably, and a base Tesla Model 3 is estimated at 220 miles.
Incidentally, Nissan is fully aware of the range shortcoming and will add a 60-kWh version that the carmaker promises will deliver 200 miles for 2019. Below are our first impressions, based on the Leaf we purchased for testing.
