Overview
Nissan Leaf 2018 overview
Nissan Leaf 2018 comes as an electric hatchback with FWD and 5 seats. Energy use is 17.1 kWh/100 km, higher than the class median of 15.9 kWh/100 km.
Battery: 39 kWh usable (40 kWh nominal). On the BEVDB model, range is around 154 km on cold highway legs and up to 300 km in mild city driving.
Charging includes AC charging up to 3.6 kW (Type 2); DC fast charging up to 46 kW (CHAdeMO). On a DC fast charger, it adds ~45 km in 10 min; Heat pump: Standard.
Class comparison
Within a group of 152 hatchbacks, Nissan Leaf 2018 leans toward less range in 10 min and lower peak DC power. Range added in 10 min is lower than the class median; 45 km vs 92 km; 47 km lower, -51%. Peak DC power is below the class median; 46 kW vs 85 kW; 39 kW lower, -46%. Cargo volume is above the class median; 435 L vs 326 L; 109 L higher, +33%. A strong match for more cargo space, with less range in a 10-minute stop as the main trade-off.

Real range estimates The values shown here are estimates calculated by BEV-Database using WLTP data and the usable battery capacity of the car. Mild weather represents driving in roughly +20 +25 C without heavy use of climate control, while Cold weather reflects winter conditions with cabin heating. Highway assumes steady cruising at about 110 km/h. These figures are not official test results. Real-world range will vary depending on speed, temperature, traffic, road profile, payload, tyres and driving style.
BEVDB estimates use WLTP-rated (or derived) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value averages the four scenarios.
Reminder: Range and energy consumption figures are estimates. Actual results may vary depending on weather, driving style, terrain, and other conditions.
