Nissan said the energy consumption of this model is homologous at 14 kW within 100 km, which means the maximum WLTP certified range is 436 km and the highway range-224 km at the highway at a constant 130 km / h speed.
The top version of the Leaf is 75 kWh-Battery, paired with a 160 kW (218 hp) engine and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.6 seconds. Nissan said it uses 14.2 kW of 100 km, but due to a larger battery, the maximal WLTP range is 604 km and 330 km on the highway up to 130 km / h.
