What should I look for when buying a used Nissan LEAF?

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: ProPilot Assist highway driving system, with automated lane-centring and adaptive cruise control.
• Infotainment: standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Google built-in apps on SV Plus and Platinum Plus models.
• Range & charging: all three trims offered in Canada have a range exceeding 400 kilometres; the S Plus trim has the longest range at 488 kilometres, while the SV Plus rates at 463 kilometres and the Platinum Plus offers an estimated 417 kilometres; it still offers just 150 kilowatts of DC fast-charging power, meaning a 10-80% charge takes 35 minutes.
• Battery health: check battery state-of-health, ask how often the car was charged at home versus on DC fast chargers, and confirm the remaining battery warranty coverage before you buy.
