The model
Read full Nissan Leaf reviewThe entry-level 39kWh Leaf still makes sense if you’re on a budget because it is a fairly large EV that’s reasonable to drive, well equipped, and easy to live with. Beyond that, pricer trims and especially the 59kWh e+ models have fallen behind newer and more accomplished rivals.
The trim
See full equipmentIt's worth considering an upgrade to N-Connecta trim, which adds 17in alloy wheels, part-faux leather, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, privacy glass, electrically folding door mirrors, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 39kWh battery version has a perfectly respectable 0-62mph time of around eight seconds. Officially the range is 168 miles on a full charge, but in our Real Range testing we managed just 128 miles.
