The battery in the new Leaf has been upgraded from 30kWh to 40kWh compared with the previous version of the car, which still isn't enough to catch up with Tesla's Model 3 or the Chevy Bolt, which have bigger batteries and offer better range (220 and 238 miles, respectively). Note that in some markets, Nissan is advertising the Leaf as a 235-mile range car, but that's not EPA-tested and is likely not indicative of real-world performance. The Leaf's new powertrain has 147 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque; more than enough for a hatchback that measures 176.4 inches in length and weighs roughly 3,500 pounds, but again, that's a lot less power than its chief competitors.
