Nissan Leaf Review 2024
Nissan Leaf At A Glance
When the Nissan Leaf arrived in the UK in 2011, it was revolutionary. An all-electric car with a usable range, as much practicality as a family hatch and a relatively affordable purchase price helped it secure the title of the world's best-selling electric car.
The latest Nissan Leaf went on sale in 2018, bringing with it an improved interior and more tech for your money. But even then it was starting to feel dated, and there's now a much broader range of very competent electric cars on sale. The Nissan Leaf's £27,000 start price will get you an MG ZS EV or Volkswagen ID.3, while top-end models are straying dangerously close to cars like the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
So what has the Nissan Leaf got in its favour? Well, a new longer-range model arrived in 2019. Badged the Nissan Leaf E+, this has a bigger 59kWh battery providing an official WLTP range of up to 239 miles. It's not quite as impressive as the longest-range electric cars but it should be more than adequate for a lot of drivers.
Not everyone needs an electric car capable of travelling from Land's End to John O'Groats without stopping, though. It's easy to go chasing numbers but remember, the bigger the battery the longer it'll take to charge (and the more that'll cost). If you're only wanting to bimble about locally, even the cheapest Nissan Leaf will be more than adequate – with its 39kWh battery and 168-mile range.
No matter which Nissan Leaf you buy, you'll find it easy and relaxing to drive. Refinement perhaps isn't quite as impressive as newer (more soundproofed) alternatives, but it's no noisier than an MG ZS EV. Turn the e-Pedal on and the Leaf's regenerative braking is ramped up to the max. This simply means that, as soon as you lift off the accelerator, the car will use the electric motor to slow down. With a bit of practice, you'll barely need to use the brake pedal for around-town driving.
The Nissan Leaf's interior feels almost boringly conventional, while there's a distinct lack of plush materials. The standard-fit eight-inch infotainment system looks dated but it's functional, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. That's a good thing.
There's loads of space in the Nissan Leaf, especially if you're comparing it to compact electric cars like the Renault Zoe. You could actually use it as your main family car, thanks to enough space for carrying four adults in comfort. The boot's capable of carrying up to 435 litres of luggage, which is pretty good, although the MG 5 EV is an electric estate car that trumps the Leaf on outright space.
While it's difficult to get excited about the Nissan Leaf in a rapidly expanding market, it could still make a very sensible electric car purchase. Its slight lack of showroom appeal will help you bag a nearly-new bargain (as well as skip waiting lists), while Nissan's electric car expertise means it ought to be a very reliable introduction to eco motoring.

Nissan Leaf handling and engines
Nissan Leaf 2024: Handling and ride quality
If you've never driven an electric car before, you're in for a treat with the Nissan Leaf. Its instant torque and zero engine noise mean it's much more relaxing to drive than a conventional petrol or diesel car.
Want a quick getaway from a junction? Just press the accelerator and off you go, without delay. Cruising along the motorway? You'll have to turn the radio up slightly to drown out road noise, but there's no drone from the engine.
Many electric cars feature regenerative braking which automatically scrubs off speed as soon as you lift off the accelerator, pumping energy back into the battery. Not only does it help range, but it also means you don't have to use the brakes as much.
The Nissan Leaf has fairly extreme regen braking, dubbed the e-Pedal. With this switched on, you can drive surprisingly long distances without any need to touch the brake pedal.
Just lift off the accelerator and the Leaf will slow down pretty rapidly. The downside is that, when you do need to brake harder, it's difficult to moderate the pressure and your passengers might end up mimicking nodding dogs as you try to work out just how much braking is needed.
While the Leaf is at its element around town, its batteries are located under the floor which means it has a low centre of gravity. As a result, there's not too much lean during high speed cornering, although the steering is overly light and doesn't provide much feedback. The ride quality is quite harsh, too – a side effect of having those big, heavy batteries to lug around.
Nissan Leaf 2024: Engines
The regular Nissan Leaf pairs a 39kWh battery pack with an electric motor producing the equivalent of 150PS – that's about the same as you'd get in a 1.5-litre petrol Volkswagen Golf. Its 7.9 second 0-62mph time is fairly sprightly, helped by the instant slug of torque mentioned above.
The Nissan Leaf e+ combines a bigger 59kWh battery pack with a more powerful 217PS electric motor. We're becoming accustomed to fairly rapid performance from electric cars but even this is only a second quicker to 62mph than the standard Leaf. Still, it's pacey enough for a quick overtake or entering a roundabout without any fuss.
Nissan Leaf 2024: Safety
All Nissan Leaf models except the entry-level Acenta come with the Tech Pack, which comes with a 360-degree camera that Nissan pioneered back in the day. It's a useful safety feature but does look a bit low-rent today.
The Tech Pack also includes an Intelligent Driver Alert, which monitors your driving and tells you when it's time to take a break, as well as front and rear parking sensors.
The ProPilot Pack (which is standard on the Tekna grade) adds further useful driver-assistance tech like the Traffic Jam Pilot (which can adjust the car's speed to match others in a traffic jam) and Lane Keep Assist (which nudges the steering if you inadvertently venture from your lane).
The Nissan Leaf was awarded a maximum five stars for safety when it was crash tested by Euro NCAP in 2018.

Nissan Leaf 2024: Practicality
Interior space is pretty good. Up front, the deep dashboard provides a feeling of spaciousness, although the lack of a sunroof (panoramic or otherwise) means it doesn't feel quite as airy as it could. You get two fairly generous door bins, a small cubby box underneath the central armrest and two cupholders. There's also a space to store your phone underneath the climate control buttons, and a modest glovebox.
You sit quite high in the back – no doubt because of the batteries under the floor – but there's still ample headroom available. Tall adults will find their knees sticking into the back of the front seats but it's comfortable enough for occasional use. A third person can squeeze in the middle but there is quite a significant lump in the floor eating into foot space.
The rear seats can be dropped easily, although there's quite a significant height difference between them and the boot floor – so transporting bulky items might be tricky. There's a hefty lip for lifting items into the boot, too – and no false floor to reduce this. Still, the Leaf's 435-litre boot is a decent size, and not all that much smaller than the estate-only MG 5 EV.
Nissan Leaf 2024: Quality and finish
There's nothing fundamentally wrong with the finish of the Leaf's interior – indeed, we suspect one will stand up very well to life as a family runabout or even a taxi. But all the hard plastics don't give off an air of quality. Even our relatively high-spec N-Connecta test car with its synthetic part leather trim felt rather downmarket (look for a Tekna for some actual leather).
Again, it's one of those areas in which the Leaf's showing its age. The Leaf's always given the impression that the development budget has been spent on tech rather than its interior design, and that's even more noticeable alongside newer (admittedly more expensive) alternatives like the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Nissan Leaf 2024: Infotainment
The standard eight-inch infotainment system is now looking quite dated compared to what you'd get in newer models like the latest Nissan Qashqai. It's perfectly functional, but its positioning low down on the dash makes it a little distracting to glance at on the move. It could do with being angled slightly towards the driver to prevent awkward reflections, too.
At least you get physical buttons for things like adjusting the volume or zooming in on the nav. The menu layouts look like they've been designed as part of a mid-00s high school IT project but at least the screen responds quickly to inputs.
Nissan Leaf value for money
Nissan Leaf 2024: Prices
The Nissan Leaf Acenta is currently priced from around £27,000. You'll pay an extra £2000 for an N-Connecta model, while the top-spec Tekna is around £30,500.
You can spend this kind of money on much smaller electric cars like the Renault Zoe and Fiat 500 Electric so, in terms of physical car for your cash, the Nissan Leaf represents decent value for money. We certainly rate it as one of the cheapest electric cars you can buy.
If you're wanting a Nissan Leaf with the bigger battery, you'll need the E+ model. This starts from around £33,500 in N-Connecta trim, while the top-of-the-range E+Tekna is nudging £35,000. This is starting to stray towards much newer, more desirable electric vehicles – but you do get a decent amount of standard equipment and a generous range for the money.
Nissan Leaf 2024: Running Costs
Like with most electric cars, the running costs of a Nissan Leaf ought to be pretty low. You won't pay any VED (road tax), for example, while maintenance costs should be lower than a petrol or diesel car. Servicing is every 18,000 miles.
Nissan provides a three-year/60,000-mile warranty for the Leaf, and a five-year/60,000-mile warranty for EV dedicated components. The Leaf's battery is covered for eight years/100,000 miles.
Charging the Leaf at home is pretty simple. Plug it into a 7kW home wallbox and the standard car will be fully charged in around seven and a half hours. The Nissan Leaf E+, with its bigger battery, will take around 11 hours.
When you're out and about, a 50kW rapid charger can top the Leaf's battery from 20 to 80 per cent in around an hour, or 90 minutes for the Leaf E+.

Second generation Nissan Leaf unveiled
All electric, and packed with ingenious technology, the new Nissan LEAF is the company’s first car in Europe that will embrace the early steps of advanced driver assistance, and is packed with cutting-edge innovations such as e-Pedal, allowing you to drive and brake in a totally new and seamless way.
It can also go further, with a range of 378 km/235 miles on a single charge, and has been redesigned for a new generation, with a sleeker look inside and out.
Along with enhanced energy efficiency, the new e-powertrain delivers an exhilarating, linear driving performance with a power output of 110 kW. Torque has been increased to 320 Nm, resulting in improved acceleration.
The new Nissan LEAF’s driving range has been increased to 378km/235miles (New European Driving Cycle) on a single charge. For those who want to drive their new LEAF further, Nissan will introduce a high-power version with increased motor power and battery capacity at a higher price at the end of 2018. This version will provide an even longer range, giving customers a range choice depending on their driving needs.
The new Nissan LEAF features three main new intelligent driving technologies. The first is ProPILOT advanced driver assistance system. Used during single-lane driving on the highway, it makes the drive easier, less stressful and more relaxing.
The second, ProPILOT Park, will change the way people think about parking. When activated, this technology will take control of all steering, acceleration, braking and gear selection to automatically guide the car into a parking spot. It makes parking stress free and more precise for all drivers.
The third, e-Pedal, is a revolutionary technology that transforms the way we drive. It allows drivers to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop simply by adjusting their input upon the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator is fully released, regenerative and friction brakes are applied automatically, gradually bringing the car to a complete stop.

June 2019
Nissan LEAF e+ launched
The new range-topping MY19 Nissan LEAF e+ has been launched, offering 217PS of performance and up to 239 miles of zero-emissions driving.
Prices for the new range-topping Nissan LEAF e+ Tekna start from £35,895, including the £3,500 Government Grant.
With the Nissan LEAF e+, the newly-developed 62kWh battery pack offers 55% more capacity and approximately 25% improvement in energy density while retaining a similar shape and size to the 40kWh LEAF battery pack; all without compromising the vehicle’s exterior design and interior space. Other than a 5-millimetre increase in the car’s overall height (based on 16-inch wheels), the car’s dimensions are unchanged.
This has given the LEAF e+ a significantly increased driving range of up to 239 miles (WLTP combined mode) on a single battery charge. Maximum power output and torque have been also improved to an impressive 217PS and 340 Nm, respectively, delivering more powerful acceleration performance.
With the more powerful motor, acceleration from 50mph to 75mph is nearly 13% quicker. This allows the LEAF e+ to confidently pass slower-moving vehicles, exit corners faster and merge seamlessly with fast-moving traffic. The top speed (98 mph) has also increased from the 40kWh version by approximately 10%.
While the previous battery pack modules composed of eight laminated-structure cells, the new Nissan LEAF e+ uses a new battery module design that allows for cell modules to vary in number. The new battery module uses an innovative laser welding technique on the cell joints to reduce the overall length of the module. At the same time, by changing the number of lamination layers of the cell, an optimal module height that matches the shape of the vehicle can be achieved.
The combination of these technologies has made it possible achieve high energy density efficiently inside the battery pack.
All new LEAF versions come as standard with Nissan’s new NissanConnect infotainment system, with larger 8” touchscreen.
Features include Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto allowing for seamless smartphone connectivity. Customers also benefit from an upgraded navigation system, which features TomTom LIVE premium traffic and route optimisation, as well as the inbuilt Online Map Update facility and Chargers Location functionality.
An all-new NissanConnect Services app comes as well with the new LEAF versions. With the app, users can send navigation routes from their smartphone to their car and from their car to their smartphones through the Door-to-Door Navigation facility, enabling an easier transition from navigation, to parking, and to final destination.
The Remote Climate Control functionality lets users pre-set air conditioning or heating while their LEAF is still plugged to the charging point, whilst information and analysis on trips and driving style can also be accessed from a smartphone.
The new LEAF also offers a number of different design options, with a total of 10 body colours and seven two-tone body and roof colour combinations allowing owners to give their LEAF a bold visual presence.
The LEAF e+ is also equipped with ProPILOT advanced driving assistance technology as standard. ProPILOT is an advanced driving assistance technology which works on single-lane highways. A ‘hands-on, eyes-on’ system, it allows the car to stop, restart and stay centred in its lane in higher-speed cruising and lower-speed congested traffic scenarios. The technology reduces driving stress and fatigue, enhancing driver confidence behind the wheel.

October 2020
Nissan Leaf updated and given price cut
The Nissan Leaf has been updated for 2020, including a new entry-grade 62kWh model and lower pricing for the range-topping Tekna e+.
With production starting from 16 th November, specification enhancements to both 40kWh and 62kWh versions include the introduction of an Intelligent Rearview Mirror on Tekna models, shark fin antenna as standard from N-Connecta, Blindspot Intervention on all grades, and the addition of telescopic adjustment on the steering wheel.
The introduction of the e+ N-Connecta to the LEAF range also creates a new entry-grade for 62kWh battery capacity models. LEAF e+ N-Connecta versions start from £32,695, including the £3000 Government Grant.
This new 62kWh grade matches the specification offered on N-Connecta 40kWh while benefiting from a higher capacity battery, delivering 239 miles of range (WLTP), up to 217PS power, 340Nm of torque and a 0-62mph time of 6.9 seconds.
Meanwhile the price of the range-topping e+ Tekna 62kWh has been reduced by £1,685 to £34,710. Leaf Acenta and N-Connecta 40kWh and LEAF N-TEC 62kWh see no price changes, with only Tekna 40kWh versions receiving a price adjustment of £315 to include Nissan’s Intelligent Rearview Mirror as standard.
ProPILOT , Nissan’s advanced Driver Assistance technology, and ProPILOT Parking Assist option packs also benefit from a price reduction. ProPILOT is now £145 cheaper on N-Connecta versions at £450, whilst ProPILOT Parking Assist is £295 less, available for £795 on Tekna grades.
