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 — the 2021 Nissan LEAF earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong appeal for shoppers who want an affordable, practical electric hatchback. The overview describes it as a mainstream EV with a quiet cabin, a practical shape, strong value for money, and useful everyday tech like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Nissan Safety Shield 360, and vehicle-to-home capability. Its biggest tradeoffs are also clear: older Leaf models are known for limited range, and this generation still uses older charging tech than newer EVs. Even so, 42.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you a decent market to shop in.
Is the 2021 Nissan LEAF reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The overview also frames the 2021 LEAF as a mature second-generation EV with a quiet cabin, practical usability, and a value-focused ownership proposition, which are all traits that tend to matter when you plan to keep a car for a while. Its main reliability-related concern for used buyers is less about outright dependability and more about whether the car’s range, charging setup, and battery condition still fit your daily driving needs.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Nissan LEAF?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.9% — always verify the vehicle history report. You should prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on battery health, charging behavior, and whether the car still delivers the range you need for your routine. It also makes sense to pay close attention to overall condition and equipment operation, especially if you plan to rely on the LEAF as a daily commuter.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Nissan LEAF?
Yes — this looks like a buyer-friendly moment if you want a used LEAF, because there is meaningful deal availability and a decent amount of clean inventory to choose from.
- Deal availability: 42.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 109 listings available.
- Clean inventory: 78.9% of listings are accident-free.
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:
- 42.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- It offers affordable electric-car value with strong everyday usability and a practical commuting focus.
The bottom line: The 2021 is the better default choice if you want a used LEAF with strong shopper appeal, solid deal availability, and a proven mainstream-EV formula. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2020 is worth a look for its similar practical strengths and commuter-friendly character.
