The Nissan LEAF's electric drivetrain makes for a different interior layout than would be possible in a gasoline powered car of similar exterior dimensions. The result tends to be more usable space inside the vehicle, particularly with respect to legroom and cargo capacity. But sometimes the placement of the battery pack can affect interior configurations. When we discuss this topic, we usually compare the LEAF with popular compact and subcompact gas cars as well as other EVs in the same class. People like talking about such factors as seating comfort, storage solutions, and practicality of a car in everyday use. This is an important consideration for people looking at buying an EV, especially those moving from a gas car into their first EV.
