Overview
The Nissan LEAF is one of a number of entry-level electric vehicles (EVs) out there, a category that also includes the Chevrolet Bolt EV, Hyundai IONIQ, Kia Niro EV, and Tesla Model 3. There were some big updates last year, but 2021 sees no notable changes.
As before, the LEAF comes with two powertrains, Base and LEAF PLUS. The Base gets you a 110-kilowatt (147-horsepower) electric motor that also produces 236 pound-feet of torque, running off a 40-kilowatt-hour battery. The LEAF PLUS upgrades the electric motor to 160 kW (214 hp) and 250 lb-ft and has a 62-kWh battery. All LEAFs are exclusively front-wheel drive (FWD).
The big difference between the two powertrains is the range and fuel economy. The Base rates at 149 miles, and 111 city, 99 highway, and 111 combined miles-per-gallon equivalent (MPGe). Meanwhile, the LEAF PLUS does 226 miles of range and comes in at 118, 97, and 108 MPGe. Both models use the CHAdeMO charging standard and can be replenished up to 80 percent in 40-45 minutes, with the optional DC fast-charging capability. They otherwise support 120- and 240-volt home charging.
There are three trims on the LEAF. The base S trim gets an 8-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, automatic LED headlights, keyless access and start, Bluetooth, automatic temperature control, and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat. 16-inch alloy wheels are optional. The SV adds navigation, EV-specific telematics services, hands-free text messaging, fog lights, and 17-inch wheels. The SL PLUS comes with the better powertrain, heated seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, an eight-way power driver’s seat, Bose premium audio, and a cargo cover.
No matter which LEAF you choose, you get Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 suite standard. It bundles forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, high-beam assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, and a rear-view camera. The SV comes standard with adaptive cruise control. An optional SV Technology Package adds on ProPilot Assist driver-assist tech, a surround-view camera system, and driver alertness. The SL PLUS gets all of the aforementioned equipment standard. The LEAF received good safety scores from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The Nissan LEAF is a competent, affordable EV.

Great car for local driving. Long distance, freeway speeds, not so much. High build quality. Nice features. Great radio. Super car.

After driving it for a day, Im really enjoying the idea of fossil free (mostly) transportation. The car is nicely appointed and more attractive to look at than most ev cars, such as the Volt and Bolt. Not as cool as the exterior of a Tesla, but look at those resale prices - ridiculous.

Is the 2021 Nissan LEAF a good car?
Yes — 5/5 is a strong user rating for the 2021 Nissan LEAF, and that lines up with its practical, value-focused role as an accessible electric hatchback. The 2021 model builds on the second generation with a larger battery, a more powerful drivetrain than the original car, e-Pedal driving, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Nissan Safety Shield 360, so you get a modern-feeling EV that still keeps ownership simple. For everyday commuting and general utility, that combination makes it easy to understand why it appeals. 39.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2021 Nissan LEAF reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The 2021 Nissan LEAF’s overview points to a straightforward formula: a second-generation EV with a larger battery, a more powerful drivetrain, and standard safety and connectivity features that support everyday use. Its appeal is less about complexity and more about doing the basics well, which is often a good sign for used-car ownership. For long-term buyers, the main risk is not broad mechanical drama but making sure the battery, charging setup, and overall condition still fit your driving needs.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Nissan LEAF?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies. You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing multiple listings. Focus on battery condition, charging behavior, and overall wear, since those are the details that matter most in a used EV.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Nissan LEAF?
This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 39.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 118 listings available.
- Clean inventory: 90.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $11,987.82, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Should I buy a 2021 Nissan LEAF or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 39.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- It offers stronger range and quicker acceleration for buyers prioritizing EV capability.
The bottom line: The 2021 Nissan LEAF is the better fit if you want a practical, easy-to-shop used EV with strong satisfaction and a healthy share of clean listings. If your priority is stretching your budget as far as possible, the 2020 is worth a look for its stronger range-focused appeal.
