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 appeal as an accessible electric hatchback. The 2021 model’s second-generation design brings a larger battery, a more powerful drivetrain, e-Pedal driving, and a more modern look, while also keeping the car focused on everyday practicality and value. It also adds useful tech like NissanConnect vehicle-to-home capability, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Nissan Safety Shield 360. With 28.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have 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 reliability case is supported by its straightforward electric layout, practical everyday range, and standard safety equipment, all of which fit its role as a simple commuter EV. Its appeal is strongest if you want a low-complexity used electric car for routine driving rather than a long-distance road-trip machine. Long-term ownership risk is mainly about whether the car’s range and charging setup still fit your needs as your driving habits change.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Nissan LEAF?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a history report and confirm the car’s accident and title status before you buy. Put inspection priority on battery health, charging behavior, and overall condition, since those matter most on a used EV. You should also make sure the car’s range and charging setup match your daily driving and home-charging routine.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Nissan LEAF?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 110 listings available.
- Clean inventory: 90.9% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $11,984.51, 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:
- 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- It offers more usable EV range for everyday driving at a lower price point.
The bottom line: The 2021 Nissan LEAF is the better pick if you want a well-liked, practical used EV with strong inventory quality and a modern feature set. If your priority is stretching your budget as far as possible, the 2020 is the better secondary path because it emphasizes value and everyday usability.
