Basic version Visia only available with battery 40 kWh, while Acenta And Tekna can be completed as 40 kWh, so 62 kWh. Electric motor power varies from 110 kW (150 hp) to 160 kW (217 hp) depending on the battery capacity.

Parameter Visia (40 kWh) Acenta (40/62 kWh) Tekna (40/62 kWh)
Battery capacity 40 kWh 40 or 62 kWh 40 or 62 kWh
Engine power 110 kW (150 hp) 110 or 160 kW 110 or 160 kW

⚠️ Attention: If you plan to frequently travel long distances, choose a configuration with a battery 62 kWh. Version 40 kWh Suitable only for urban use with the possibility of regular recharging.

Visia equipment: minimalism or sufficient set?

Visia - the most affordable version Nissan Leaf, which is suitable for those who value simplicity and are not ready to overpay for premium options. However, even in the basic configuration, the electric car is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable ride.

Standard equipment includes:

  • 🔌 e-Pedal regenerative braking system - allows you to drive the car with almost one pedal.
  • 📱 Multimedia system with 8-inch screen (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the database).
  • 🚨 Hill start assist system And tire pressure monitoring.
  • 🔋 6.6 kW charger (full charge from a household outlet in 7–8 hours).

However, there are also significant limitations. For example, in Visia missing:

  • 🚫 Adaptive cruise control (only available in Acenta And Tekna).
  • 🚫 Heated steering wheel and seats (optional, but not standard).
  • 🚫 Surround camera (rear camera only).
What is e-Pedal and how does it work?

The e-Pedal system allows you to drive your car almost without using the brake pedal. When you release the accelerator pedal, the electric vehicle begins to actively brake due to energy recovery, until it comes to a complete stop. This not only makes driving in traffic jams easier, but also increases the range by 5-10% by returning energy to the battery.

Price Nissan Leaf Visia in 2026 starts from 2.8 million rubles (with battery 40 kWh). That makes it one of the most affordable models in the EV segment, but is it worth skimping on the options?

💡

Visia is suitable for urban use if you do not need premium features. However, the lack of adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera can be critical for beginners.

Acenta: optimal balance of price and features
