About the Nissan Leaf
If you’re looking for an all-electric family vehicle with an impeccable safety rating and the surprising ability to put a grin on your face, a Nissan Leaf could be the perfect lease option for you.
While the Leaf has a reputation for being mild-mannered, entry level models boast power of 150 hp and the ability to accelerate from 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds.
A Leaf with the largest of the two batteries available - the ‘e+’ - takes power up to 214 hp and will hit 62mph in just 6.9 seconds, which is almost hot-hatch territory.
Combine that performance with a range of up to 239 miles between charges, a comprehensive list of driver assistance and safety systems, and a super-practical 435 litre boot, and you’ve got a winning formula.
Why lease a Nissan Leaf?
Practicality, range between charges, and safety - these are just some of the stand-out features of a Nissan Leaf.
There are two batteries available - a 40 kWh unit with a range of up to 168 miles, or a larger 59 kWh ‘e+’ powertrain that unlocks a range of up to 239 between charges.
It places the Leaf right between rivals like the MG4 EV and the Volkswagen ID.3 in terms of how far it can travel. The Leaf also supports rapid charging at 50 kW which will replenish the battery from 10-80% in around 40 minutes.
Meanwhile there are plenty of trim levels to choose from. And no matter which one you’d like to lease, the amount of equipment fitted as standard is extensive.
The entry-level ‘Acenta’ Leaf features an 8 inch touchscreen, 16 inch alloys, and assistance tech such as intelligent cruise control, intelligent emergency braking with pedestrian recognition, and intelligent lane intervention.
Which Nissan Leaf is right for me?
The Nissan Leaf is fully-electric, with no petrol or diesel variant. And there are two different batteries to choose from, a 39 kWh unit or a larger 59 kWh system.
