The leaf is a great vehicle, well built, sturdy, quiet with all the requisite features you want or need in a car. The range is good, and best of all you can charge it at home

It should be remembered that the Leaf is on its second generation model and has sold nearly half a million. It may be short on chargeable miles, but has 10 years of construction/usage behind it. It has plenty of room, is well equipped and has good performance, with a very good reputation for reliability. Because of this, it stands alone in the market place and is a steal on the second-hand market.

Battery capacity is a big problem. with full heating on and driving for 1.7 miles, the range just dropped by 14 miles! Not great to use in cold countries even for short trips. Mileage anxiety will be a constant stress. Otherwise, the car drives fantastic!

Nissan Leaf (2017-2024) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Lots of space in the cabin | Not compatible with CCS charging |
| Affordable for a family EV | Driving position is short on adjustment |
| Extremely cheap to run | Many rivals will go further on a full charge |
Quick Summary
The Nissan Leaf (2017-2024), the second-generation model, represents a significant step forward from its pioneering predecessor. With sharp, modern styling that doesn't deliberately stand out from conventional hatchbacks, the Leaf offers a practical family electric car. It provides excellent interior space with a generous 435-litre boot—larger than the Renault ZOE—and comfortable seating for five. The 40kWh battery delivers an official range of 168 miles (WLTP), whilst the 2019 Leaf e+ model offers 239 miles with its 62kWh battery, though real-world figures are typically lower.
Running costs are exceptionally low, with charging costing around £5.60 for the standard model or just under £9 for the e+ on a domestic tariff—roughly a third of fuelling a petrol car. The 148bhp electric motor provides responsive acceleration and smooth motorway performance, whilst the standard e-pedal setting enables one-pedal driving in urban environments. However, the restrictive driving position, lack of CCS rapid charging compatibility, and shorter range compared to newer rivals like the Kia e-Niro are notable drawbacks. The Leaf went off sale in early 2024, with no direct replacement until 2026.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking an affordable family electric car, those with access to home charging, and drivers prioritising low running costs and spacious interiors.
Not ideal for: Those requiring long-range capability, drivers needing extensive steering wheel adjustment, or those seeking the latest CCS rapid charging technology.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nissan Leaf | 3/5 | 3.8/5 | 32.1% | 4.1/5 |
| Kia e-Niro | 5/5 | 4.5/5 | 32.6% | 4.4/5 |
| Renault Zoe | 3/5 | 4.7/5 | 34.1% | 4.1/5 |
| Peugeot e-2008 | 4/5 | 3.0/5 | 32.3% | 4.0/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Leaf if: You're seeking an affordable family electric car with spacious interiors, have access to home charging, and prioritise low running costs over maximum range.
Consider alternatives if: You require long-range capability, need extensive driving position adjustment, or want the latest CCS rapid charging technology.
Competitive Position: The Nissan Leaf (2017-2024) is a sensible, affordable option in the electric family hatchback class, offering excellent interior space and exceptionally low running costs. However, newer competition has leapfrogged it in several areas. The Kia e-Niro delivers superior range and holds its value better, whilst the Renault Zoe offers a cheaper entry point despite shorter range. The Peugeot e-2008 provides better long-distance capability with CCS charging. The Leaf's main advantage is availability and affordability, making it a worthy choice when alternatives are unavailable or unaffordable, but it's no longer the class leader.
