Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2015 models.

• Infotainment: standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Battery health: check battery state-of-health, review how the car was typically charged at home versus on DC fast chargers, and confirm the remaining battery warranty coverage.

Which Nissan LEAF trim should I buy?

• Leaf S+: This trim adds the larger 75-kWh battery pack and 303 miles of range, making it the best-value choice for most buyers who want the longest range.
• SV+: This trim adds 214 hp, a 75-kWh pack, Google built-in apps, a 14.3-inch digital instrument cluster, two rear USB-C ports, a wireless device charger, and TailorFit front-seat material.

What Nissan LEAF do most buyers choose?

The Nissan LEAF years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2026.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right price, mileage, and equipment mix. They also tend to be the years shoppers focus on when they want newer features without moving all the way to the latest model.

What is the Nissan LEAF's resale value?

The table shows a mixed picture, with one recent year moving down while several others are rising. That gives used buyers some room to shop selectively, especially if you are comparing newer inventory against older, lower-priced examples. The strongest upward moves are concentrated in older and newer model years alike, which suggests demand remains steady across multiple parts of the lineup.

The 2022 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2015, 2024, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

Is the Nissan LEAF safe?

• 2026: 7/10
• 2020: 9/10
• 2019: 7/10
• 2016: 7/10

Nissan’s ProPilot Assist highway-driving system is standard, combining automated lane-centering with adaptive cruise control.

For the safest used buy, the 2020 model posts the highest confirmed score of 9/10.

Should I buy a used Nissan LEAF now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −7.0% versus a year ago.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 46.4% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $19,736. The Nissan LEAF offers a quiet, comfortable, easygoing driving character that makes it a strong everyday commuter.

Consider waiting if:

• Range & charging: At 303 miles, the Leaf S+ is the first model in Leaf history to crack 300 miles, while the SV+ and Platinum+ still improve on the previous-generation Leaf at 288 miles and 259 miles, respectively; it still offers just 150 kilowatts of DC fast-charging power, meaning a 10%-80% charge takes 35 minutes.
• Tech: The Leaf features standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and SV+ and Platinum+ models add Google built-in apps, as well as two rear USB-C ports and a wireless device charger.
• Safety: Standard driver-assist features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, driver monitoring, and a 360-degree camera system.
• Starting price: The Leaf S+ starts at $31,485.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
