5 Innovative Features of the 2025 Nissan LEAF

A practical, fully electric hatchback, the 2025 Nissan LEAF is packed full of innovative features for drivers to enjoy. From its economical electric motor to its unique e-Pedal drive mode, this thoughtfully designed five-seater has a lot to explore. Here are a few highlights.

5 Innovative Features of the 2025 Nissan LEAF

1. Efficient AC Synchronous Motor

The front-wheel drive LEAF is powered by a 100 kW AC synchronous electric motor, which supplies a solid 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. This is ample for responsive acceleration, especially in conjunction with the car’s direct drive transmission. Without pistons or gears to shift, the motor directly powers the drivetrain. This setup is highly efficient, allowing the LEAF’s 40 kWh battery to last for up to 149 miles, and getting an impressive 111 MPGe combined.

2. e-Pedal Driving

Another innovative feature of the 2025 LEAF is the e-Pedal drive mode. Selecting this lets drivers control the LEAF using only the accelerator pedal, pressing down to accelerate and lifting their foot to brake. If the car reaches a complete stop, the hydraulic braking system will keep it there, even on a hill. Using e-Pedal also helps charge the battery through regenerative braking, as does Eco Mode, which enhances the conversion of braking energy into battery power.

3. Nissan Safety Shield 360

The LEAF comes with Nissan’s comprehensive Safety Shield 360 package as standard. This contains six features which help protect drivers and other road users, including Automatic Emergency Braking and Rear Automatic Braking. These features can apply the brakes to prevent or reduce the impact of a collision. Like the Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Departure Warning that are also included, they also notify drivers of potential dangers so that they can avoid them.

4. Driver-Friendly Assistance

The LEAF also has a brake assist feature, which applies extra braking power when drivers are making an emergency stop. And as well as assisting with safer driving, it helps drivers with challenges such as hill starts, and contains sensors to aid them during reverse parking. Drivers can also enjoy easier highway driving using the LEAF’s cruise control function, while the 7-inch multi-function display keeps the essential information they need right in front of them.

5. Integrated Infotainment

The NissanConnect infotainment package comes as standard with the 2025 LEAF. It can be operated using the 8-inch touchscreen but is also capable of voice recognition, and it can be used for Bluetooth audio streaming, hands-free calls, and even hands-free texting. It is compatible with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Siri Eyes Free, which enable drivers to use a wide range of functions on their personal electronic devices with minimal distraction from the road.

Well-equipped with modern features, it is easy to see why the 2025 LEAF is a leader among electric vehicles. Drop by Navarre Nissan in Lake Charles, LA to take a look at the LEAF in person, and our team will be happy to answer any questions.
