Nissan confirmed that pricing for the the 2019 Leaf will remain unchanged across the range. The 2019MY battery-electric will start from US$ 30,795, including a US$ 895 destination and handling fee, in the S trim level. Prices for the other two trim levels also remain unchanged, with the range-topping SL costing from US$ 37,095.

The latest generation comes with a 40kWh battery pack and an electric motor with 147 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. Nissan claims that the Leaf can travel 150 miles on a full battery charge, which, according to the company, is more than adequate for “the daily driving needs of most Leaf owners”. 


Other highlights of the 2019 Leaf include Nissan’s ProPilot semi-autonomous system and the e-Pedal, which allows the driver to accelerate and decelerate by pressing and depressing the throttle, as the car harvests its kinetic energy and stores its back into the battery pack when you’re off the pedal.

A 6kW plug will fully charge the lithium-ion battery pack in 8 hours, while a quick charger can top up a depleted battery to 80 percent of its capacity in just 40 minutes. The 2019 Nissan Leaf is already on sale at the company’s Leaf Certified dealers across the U.S.
