Pros
Lots of space in the cabin
Affordable for a family EV
Extremely cheap to run

Cons
Not compatible with CCS charging
Driving position is short on adjustment
Many rivals will go further on a full charge

The CarGurus verdict
The Nissan Leaf is a very worthy option in the electric family hatchback class. It’s got great interior space and decent standard equipment levels, and there tend to be far more competitive finance and purchase offers (not to mention shorter waiting lists and delivery times) than on longer-range rivals like the Kia Soul EV.

It’s a very safe option, but newer competition has also leapfrogged the Leaf in many ways. There's the Nissan’s lack of a longer-range model to compete with the near-300 mile alternatives out there, the slightly drab interior, the restrictive driving position and, most annoying of all, the fact there's no CCS rapid charging compatibility. It redeems much of that by being more available and more affordable than some of them but, put simply, the main reason you buy a Nissan Leaf is because you can’t get hold of one of the other options.
