Used Nissan LEAF for sale

What types of used Nissan Leaf cars are there?

The Nissan Leaf is a mid-sized hatchback that makes for a great family car – it’s small enough to be manageable around town, but it’s comfortable enough for longer trips. 

Nissan is a Japanese brand that’s known for building highly reliable and durable cars, and there’s enough data to suggest that the batteries used in its electric cars should last a long time. 

Trim levels vary from well-equipped to premium, with high-spec models coming with car tech you might usually expect to find in more expensive cars. These include the Acenta, N-Connecta and Tekna.

There are also two battery sizes to pick from, each with different motors.

What features does the Nissan Leaf have?

Standard kit varies a lot depending on model year, not to mention trim level, but even some older low-spec models come with keyless entry, cruise control and a reversing camera. 

It’s well worth scouting out a higher trim level for added luxuries, like all-around parking sensors, heated seats and a heated steering wheel. 

High-spec models add even more, like heated seats in the rear, upgraded audio and a 360-degree parking camera, and they’re reasonably affordable, too. 

It’s worth noting that all used Nissan Leaf cars for sale come with a Type 2 port for charging at home, but a less common CHAdeMO port for rapid charging (most other cars use a CCS connection). 

Is the Nissan Leaf reliable?

Not only is Nissan known for building reliable and long-lasting cars, but it’s also one of the most experienced brands at building electric cars. 

How much does the Nissan Leaf cost to run?

Although there are two battery sizes, all versions of the Nissan Leaf for sale should be equally as efficient – a bigger battery just means you can travel for longer between charges. 

If you have access to a home charging point with off-peak rates, you could seriously reduce your fuel costs. 

Who is the Nissan Leaf suitable for?

The Nissan Leaf is a good middle ground – it’s a hatchback that’s great for families, company drivers, and solo drivers alike, combining reasonably compact exterior dimensions with good levels of interior space. 

Rivalling models include the Hyundai Kona, BMW i3 and Kia Niro.
