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 supports its appeal as an approachable used electric car. It stands out for combining strong value with a quiet, comfortable driving experience, and it fits especially well if you can charge at home and want an easy daily driver. Its EV-specific features, including e-Pedal, add convenience for everyday use, while the broader package emphasizes usability over flash. With 32.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have 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 LEAF’s appeal comes from its practical second-generation design, quiet cabin, and straightforward everyday usability, especially for buyers who want an affordable EV that works well for commuting and local driving. Its strengths are tied to comfort and value rather than complexity, which can make ownership feel simpler if your charging routine is predictable. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is battery aging, which can gradually reduce range over time.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Nissan LEAF?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.8% — always verify the vehicle history report. You should also prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on battery condition, charging behavior, and overall wear, since range loss matters more as the car ages. Pay close attention to how the car has been used and charged, because condition and battery health will shape your ownership experience more than mileage alone.
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 with some leverage but still need to compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 114 listings available.
- Clean inventory: 86.8% 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:
- 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- It offers strong range and practical everyday usability for city-focused driving.
The bottom line: The 2021 Nissan LEAF is the better default choice if you want a used EV with strong value, a comfortable cabin, and a broad mix of everyday features. If your priority is stretching your budget as far as possible, the 2020 can still make sense, especially if you find one with the right equipment and condition.
