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

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: ProPilot Assist with automated lane-centring and adaptive cruise control, plus 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.

Which Nissan LEAF trim should I buy?

The 2026 Nissan LEAF offers these trims:

• S Plus: The longest-range version at 488 kilometres, with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen, four-speaker audio, and the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto setup. This is the best-value trim if you want the strongest range for the money.

What Nissan LEAF do most buyers choose?

The Nissan LEAF years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more choice, more price points, and a better chance of finding the right trim and condition. They also tend to attract shoppers looking for a newer LEAF without moving all the way to the newest model year.

What is the Nissan LEAF's resale value?

Most LEAF model years are down year over year, and several recent ones have seen meaningful price drops. That creates a favourable setup for used buyers who want more car for the money, especially in the newer model years. A few years are nearly flat, which suggests some versions are holding close to their prior pricing.

The 2017 and 2022 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2022, 2017, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
