What Nissan LEAF do most buyers choose?

The Nissan LEAF years with the most listings are 2023, 2019, and 2024.

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they give you more choice, more price competition, and a better chance of finding the right trim and condition. They also tend to be the easiest years to compare side by side when you are shopping used.

What is the Nissan LEAF's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you are shopping used and want stronger value. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older examples are falling more gradually and one year is moving up slightly. That mix suggests there are still some pockets of resilience, but the overall direction favours buyers.

The 2022, 2020, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
