Nissan Leaf 40 kWh

Range test

Nissan Leaf

40 kWh

The Nissan Leaf 40 kWh reached 200 km at 90 km/h in the winter test at around -3 °C, on wet roads and in thick fog. That was slightly further than the Hyundai Ioniq managed, thanks to the Leaf's bigger battery. The Leaf Spy app is recommended, as the car's own range estimate was too optimistic, and during slow charging the heater took most of the power. After the drive the battery was still at around 33 °C, so the car throttled fast charging to only about 35 kW.
