Electric power for only £5000? Sign us up ⚡️ Read our used NissanUK Leaf buying guide here
We can say the future’s electric, but that future really started to arrive in 2011. That was when Nissan first offered the Leaf in the UK. It was not only one of the first large volumeFor a first-generation electric car, most models have a pretty useful range, too, although the later 30kWh model that was introduced during the 2016 refresh is considerably better than the early 24kWh Leaf.
Equipment levels are generous, though; even an entry-level Leaf Visia comes with a fair amount of standard features, including climate control, Bluetooth, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, all-round electric windows, a height-adjustable driver’s seat and keyless start and go. For a more rounded specification, we’d recommend the Acenta trim if you can find one. It adds cruise control, power-fold door mirrors, a driver’s armrest and automatic lights and wipers. You also get better infotainment with sat-nav and Nissan Connect EV, as well as plusher interior trim.
The top-spec Tekna grade features lots of toys, but it commands a hefty price, even in a used example. Only those really keen on having every last piece of kit, such as the high-end Bose audio system and heated leather seats all round, should opt for this. The changes made in 2013 also extended to the interior because you could specify a matt black dashboard, which wouldn't reflect sunlight as much as the earlier cream one, which tended to also look grubby unless you kept a fastidious cleaning regime. Space is par for the family car course upfront, but the steering wheel only adjusts up and down, so some may not find a comfortable driving position.
