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 fits its role as an affordable, practical electric hatchback built around everyday usability. The overview points to a larger battery, a 147-horsepower drivetrain, a 6.6-kW onboard charger, and an e-Pedal system that makes short-trip driving easier and more convenient. It also adds a sharper design, useful safety tech, and smartphone integration, so you get a well-rounded EV for commuting and routine errands. The main tradeoff is range, which is still modest compared with newer electric vehicles, so it makes the most sense if you have shorter daily drives and regular charging access. Market availability is favorable, with 40.4% of listings marked as good or great deals.
Is the 2021 Nissan LEAF reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The overview describes the 2021 LEAF as a practical EV with straightforward daily usability, a useful charging setup, and a familiar second-generation design that focuses on convenience rather than complexity. It also includes standard forward collision warning and mitigation with automatic braking, which adds confidence for everyday driving. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that its modest range can feel limiting if your commute, charging access, or driving habits stretch beyond its intended use case.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Nissan LEAF?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should prioritize a history report first, then focus your inspection on overall condition and signs of heavy use. Because this is an EV with modest range, it also makes sense to confirm that the car still fits your daily driving needs and that charging equipment and charging behavior have been maintained properly. If possible, pay extra attention to battery-related condition and any evidence of inconsistent charging or neglect.
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 the market shows a meaningful share of discounted listings and a decent amount of clean inventory.
- Deal availability: 40.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 114 listings available.
- Clean inventory: 75.4% 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:
- 40.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- It offers broader range appeal and stronger performance for buyers who want more EV flexibility.
The bottom line: The 2021 is the better pick if you want a practical, value-focused EV with solid deal availability and a strong ownership signal. If you’re more price-sensitive or want to compare against a year with broader range appeal, the 2020 is the secondary path worth checking.
How does the 2021 Nissan LEAF compare to the 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV?

| Starting MSRP | $31,670 | $36,500 |
| Motor | 147 hp Electric | 200 hp Electric |

| Charge time (240V) | 8 hours | 10 hours |
| Listings available | 114 | 191 |
| Good & great deal share | 40.4% | 34.0% |
| Accident-free share | 75.4% | 86.4% |
