Used Nissan Leaf cars for sale

Q: How practical is the Nissan Leaf?

Like most electric cars, the current Nissan Leaf has a completely flat floor which makes it more spacious than most mid-size petrol or diesel cars. There’s pretty generous room for four six-foot-tall adults to travel together and those in the back have space to stretch out a bit. The back seat is wide enough for three adults, though whoever’s in the middle probably won’t want to be there for long. A family of four should have all the space they need. The boot has a capacity of 435 litres which is more than you get in most petrol or diesel cars of similar size. It’s big enough for eight large ‘bags for life’ or three big suitcases. The back seats fold down, creating 1,176 litres of space – useful for trips to the tip. The pre-2018 Leaf is slightly smaller and not quite as roomy inside. You get the same flat floor as the latest model, however, and more headroom and legroom than in many equivalent hatchbacks. Its 370-litre boot capacity is the same as a current Ford Focus, so it’s a practical car overall.

Q: How does the Nissan Leaf compare with other Nissan models?

The Nissan Leaf is the only mid-size hatchback that the Japanese brand has sold in the UK since it discontinued the Pulsar in 2018. The Leaf is similar in size to the Qashqai SUV and it’s quite a bit smaller than Nissan’s only other electric car, the Ariya SUV.

Q: How safe is the Nissan Leaf?

Safety organisation Euro NCAP awarded the latest Leaf a full five-star safety rating in 2018, giving it particularly high marks for protecting adults and children in a crash. It’s also loaded with driver-safety features including automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. The first-generation Leaf was awarded a five-star rating when tested in 2012.

Thinking of getting a Nissan Leaf?

Why buy the Nissan Leaf?

If you’re looking for a pure-electric family car that’s excellent value for money, the Nissan Leaf could be just what you need. It’s a practical five-door hatchback and, because it’s very popular and has been on sale for more than a decade, there are lots of used Nissan Leafs to choose from. Battery range isn’t as impressive as in some more modern rivals, but the Leaf could be a great choice if you want an affordable electric car.

Nissan Leaf range and updates

The first-generation Nissan Leaf was introduced in 2011 and was the first electric family car. The current, second-generation model has been on sale new since 2018. It’s similar in shape to the first model but slightly larger and has a longer battery range. You can choose from two versions of the latest model: the ‘regular’ Leaf which has a range of 168 miles or the Leaf e+ which can go 239 miles.

Nissan Leaf tech and features

Features included as standard on virtually all examples of the current Nissan Leaf include a touchscreen infotainment system with built-in sat nav, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto support, air con, adaptive cruise control and a reversing camera. Top-of-the-range models have some extra features such as heated seats and steering wheel, leather upholstery and a powerful Bose stereo. An entry-point Visia trim level with fewer features was briefly available but it’s so rare you’re unlikely to find one.

Nissan Leaf running costs and value

The original version of the Leaf, sold new from 2011, can give you a range of 109 miles, according to official figures. Post-2013 models have a slightly bigger 24kWh battery and a 124-mile range. An upgrade in 2015 included a 30kWh battery, increasing the range to 155 miles.

The ‘regular’ version of the post-2018 Nissan Leaf has a 39kWh battery pack that can provide 163 miles of range. The Leaf e+ has a bigger 62kWh battery and 239 miles of range. Note that some of the latest public chargers have a new type of socket that the Leaf can’t connect to.

Charging at home can still be relatively inexpensive, especially if you can take advantage of cheaper night-time tariffs. The cost of using public chargers varies across the companies that provide them and can end up costing much the same as (or more than) filling the tank in a petrol or diesel car. Other running costs for the Leaf are very low. There’s no annual car tax to pay (until new rules take effect in 2025) and maintenance costs should be low.

Nissan Leaf vs rivals

Even as recently as 2018, when the current version of the Nissan Leaf was introduced, it was basically the only mid-size electric family car. Many more have come along since then, including the Kia e-Niro, the Volkswagen ID.3 and the MG4, to name but a few. The Leaf offers a similar amount of space and practicality as its rivals, more driver-safety features than some and looks that are still really distinctive. But its battery range is on the low side and it takes a relatively long time to charge.
