Unpacking EV Cargo Space: Here's What You Can Fit in a Nissan LEAF
When it comes to the Nissan LEAF’s interior, there’s little that gets in the way of its ample cargo space. From charging your cell phone inside the compartment in front of the shift knob to utilizing the center console storage bin for paperwork, the LEAF makes it simple to find the perfect place for your items — no matter if you’re driving your daily commute or on a long-haul journey across town. But, to find out where the LEAF truly shines in the cargo department, we’ll want to take a trip to the rear hatch.
The Nissan LEAF boasts some of the largest amounts of carrying capacity in its rear when compared to many of the other non-SUV electric vehicles (EVs) in its class. Open the LEAF’s hatch door and you are presented with 23.6 cubic feet of cargo space and a low-lying floor behind the second row of seats — an immense amount of space that makes it a cinch to toss in your belongings or buckle up the kids and go. Plus, if you need a little extra room, you can fold the 60/40-split rear seats down to get an additional 6.4 cubic feet of space. That makes for a total of 30 cubic feet of cargo convenience.
With so much rear cargo space in the Nissan LEAF, you might be wondering just how much this roomy EV can hold. We’ve taken the guesswork out of discovering what the LEAF’s hatch can accommodate. Whether you have a massive grocery store haul or 1,436 venti lattes from Starbucks (can you say caffeine addiction?), we’ve got the inside scoop on Nissan LEAF cargo space. Yes, we did the math.
