Instant Torque and Smooth Acceleration

One of the first things you notice when you press the accelerator is the instant torque. Unlike petrol or diesel engines that build power over time, the Leaf delivers it immediately. The acceleration is smooth, quiet, and surprisingly punchy—perfect for merging onto motorways or navigating busy city streets.

Despite being designed for efficiency rather than performance, the 40kWh Leaf feels lively and responsive, especially from a standstill. You won’t win many drag races, but you’ll certainly enjoy the refined pull every time you drive.
