LEAF e+ 62 kWh (MY23-25)

The Nissan LEAF e+ 62 kWh (MY23-25) is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2024, when it cost £34,945 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds, slower than 56% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 211 miles (340 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 28% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 23rd of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (174 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 59 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 44 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 181 miles (291 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £11,300–£13,200 and a 2024 one at £16,600–£18,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 195 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
