2020 Nissan Leaf

The 2020 Nissan Leaf comes in one of three trim levels: the entry-level S, the SV, and SL. Each trim level can be upgraded into a Plus model, except for the SL, which comes standard with the Plus option. There are nine factory paint options available for the 2020 Leaf. The new Leaf takes the best of the electric hatchback class's style and puts its own spin on it with features such as the floating roof designs and slick, aerodynamic body lines. From the LED headlights to the sporty hatchback rear, the 2020 Leaf isn't afraid of a little attention.

The all-electric 2020 Leaf comes standard with a 147-horsepower engine with a 40-kWh battery or a 214-horsepower engine with a 62-kWh battery. If you want a greater range from your 2020 Nissan Leaf, opt for the Plus models. This upgraded Leaf adds a larger battery to your Nissan, which increases its driving range from a maximum of 149 miles to 215-226 miles.

One of the most impressive performance features of the 2020 Nissan Leaf is that it delivers 100% directly off the line. Gasoline-powered vehicles don't do this, which means the Leaf offers a new driving experience worth exploring. Because the Leaf has a battery that sits on the floor, it has a lower center of gravity that improves the way the hatchback performs. With three different ways to charge your Leaf, finding a charging station to power back up is more stress-free than ever. To boost your battery's charge, the Leaf's B-Mode e-Pedal uses regenerative braking.

Inside the 2020 Leaf, you'll find additional features as you move up the trim levels. The S starts off strong with automatic climate control, keyless ignition and doors, and more. The SV adds features such as the leather-wrapped steering wheel, a better sound system, and the intelligent cruise control system. It also has access to the All-Weather package, which includes heated seats, heater vents for the rear row, and a heated steering wheel. The SL has this as well as the Bose audio system and leather upholstery. Each Leaf comes equipped with an 8-inch touch screen that's compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. These programs let you connect your Leaf to your phone for hands-free use. Using voice commands, you can access many popular phone apps and features, such as music streaming, directions, and text messaging.

Each Leaf comes equipped with Nissan Safety Shield 360 technologies that help you avoid potentially dangerous situations on the road. This suite of driver-assist technologies includes automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and more. With safety features like these, the Leaf is better equipped to help you stay more aware in an increasingly busy world.
