The drive comfort is hailed by owners as being exceptional, the spacious cabin and quiet ride make for an excellent commute through Sri Lanka’s loud and often infuriating traffic.

With the rear seats up, you have about 24 cubic feet of storage space, but you can fold the rear seats flat, giving you 30 cubic feet, while isn’t best in its class, it’s still pretty impressive considering the battery cells its carrying. To put this in perspective,
30 cubic feet roughly translates to 7 large suitcases or ~225 dehusked coconuts.
You’ll notice these when you sit in the back as the floor is raised, but there’s still plenty of legroom and can comfortably seat 2 adults and 1 child, or 3 adults with just a bit of a squeeze.
The drive is completely silent, which will probably take some getting used to, the complete lack of anything happening under the hood can feel a little weird. Even extruding design of the headlights isn’t just an effort to make the Leaf look different, it actually aids in channeling air over the side mirrors, making the interior even quieter and aiding in improving aerodynamics. With a drag coefficient of just 0.28 makes the Leaf pretty aerodynamic, with most standard vehicles ranging 0.30 and above.
Drag Coefficient
Tested in a wind tunnel, the Drag Coefficient is a measure how much air passes over the front of a car. The lower the Drag Coefficient, the more aerodynamic
