Nissan leaf presents :
- Emergency Braking
- Eight Airbags
- ESA and Traction Control
- 40kWh battery (150mi range)
- Semi-Autonomous Driving Kit
- E-Pedal (Regenerative Braking on Pedal Release)
- Self-Parking (Parallel and Straight)

So in terms of equipment, both cars are pretty much neck to neck. Yes! Model 3 does have an extra benefit over the Leaf when it comes to electric range and engine performance but there is a price to pay for the extra fun. The thing is that Nissan Leaf presents approximately alike equipment at a much lower price. $5000 to be precise while if you go crazy and tick all the options list you will find yourself around $50,000 mark for a fully loaded autonomous Model 3. A fully loaded semi-autonomous Nissan Leaf is around $39,000 which is a lot cheaper. It has all the necessary drivers’ aid, enough electric range to take you to work and back home, and supports fast charging; which can charge the battery up to 80% in just 30 minutes.
Better Production Line
This is an additional plus point for the Nissan Leaf as it is being produced in US, UK and Japan. Alternatively Model 3 due to its large pre-orders is in front of a huge delay and sorrowfully there is a single production factory only present in the US. At present, there is no right-hand version of the model 3, creating it unusable in countries with right-hand drive. Luckily, Nissan Leaf has nothing to worry about all this. Both left-hand and right-hand models will be available at launch. Furthermore, an improved production line of Nissan will make it a lot easier to get the hand on. So less waiting time for people looking for an all-electric car.
Final Verdict
Both Model 3 and Nissan Leaf will be best sellers contributing the major amount of technology and performance for a reasonable price. On the other hand, lower price of Nissan Leaf might be beneficial for customers and people looking for a pure electric car might want to save some cash and go for the Nissan Leaf instead. Probability is you will see a Nissan Leaf much earlier than a Model 3 or any Tesla for the instant which makes it to Pakistan. Which will be a great achievement for Nissan in our opinion? Both cars will start being delivered to the customers somewhere in 2018 let’s see what is the universal reaction from the public. But maybe it’s just our opinion that Nissan Leaf can do better.
