Of course, the Nissan Leaf is powered by an electric motor which drives the wheels with a single-speed automatic transmission. The Leaf also comes with perks such as a reversing camera, Bluetooth connectivity and cruise control. The Leaf is also available with a choice of optional extras, such as a panoramic sunroof, Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving system and a heated steering wheel.
Being an all-electric car, the Leaf benefits from not needing to be topped up with fuel which is a huge cash saving straight off. The most economical Leaf model returns up to 114 MPGe on the combined cycle. Maintenance and insurance costs are also very affordable.
Electric car prices can range massively from very affordable like the Nissan Leaf, to almost supercar prices with the likes of some Tesla models. You should have a good idea of how much you want to spend and what you need from your EV. For example, the pretty average 145-mile range for the Leaf may not be enough for your requirements. If you are looking for something more premium, perhaps the Polestar 2. Or if you are in the market for cheap and cheerful, the stylish Renaut Zoe or Fiat 500e could be for you.
A used Nissan Leaf offers several benefits, including:
Environmentally friendly: As an electric car, the Nissan Leaf produces zero tailpipe emissions, making it a great choice for eco-conscious drivers.
Cost-effective to run: Electricity is generally cheaper than petrol or diesel, so you can expect to save money on fuel costs with a Nissan Leaf.
Tax advantages: Electric vehicles often benefit from tax exemptions or incentives in the UK, further reducing ownership costs.
Quiet and comfortable ride: The electric motor provides a smooth and quiet driving experience, making the Nissan Leaf a great choice for city driving.
The actual driving range of a used Nissan Leaf will depend on the model year and battery health. Newer models (from around 2018 onwards) typically offer a range of over 170 miles on a full charge. Many public charging points in the UK offer rapid charging that can bring the battery up to 80% in around 40 minutes, perfect for topping up on longer journeys.
