Should I buy a used Nissan LEAF now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $23,996 CAD. The Nissan LEAF offers a comfortable, easygoing driving character that suits daily commuting well.

Consider waiting if:

• Range & charging: All three Nissan Leaf 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. However, it still offers just 150 kilowatts of DC fast-charging power, meaning a 10-80% charge takes 35 minutes, according to Nissan.
• Tech: Leaf S Plus models have a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen, while SV Plus and Platinum Plus models have dual 14.3-inch screens. The Leaf features standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and SV Plus and Platinum Plus models add Google built-in apps as well as two rear USB-C ports and a wireless device charger.
• Safety: Standard driver-assist features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, driver monitoring, and a 360-degree camera system. Nissan’s ProPilot Assist highway driving system is also standard, combining automated lane-centring with adaptive cruise control.
• Starting price: In Canada, the 2026 Nissan Leaf S Plus starts at $47,935 CAD.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
