You’re right—the
Nissan Leaf
has four distinct driving modes designed to customize the driving experience to all circumstances and preferences:
  • B mode: ‘B mode’ enhances the driving range and improves regenerative braking efficiency.
  • D mode: the ‘D’ mode is significantly more responsive during acceleration and provides maximum EV performance. For drivers looking for an ideal driving experience and full EV perks, D mode is for you.
  • B mode with Eco: Great for downhill driving due to better regenerative braking; it also decreases required braking to reduce wear and tear on the vehicle.
  • D mode with Eco: Reduces energy consumption by moderating the AC unit and reducing responsiveness to acceleration; this is the best everyday driving mode.
If you’re looking for better efficiency and a greater driving range, B mode on the Nissan Leaf is an excellent choice—but if you’re looking for greater efficiency in your car insurance shopping process, use the
