I have a e + Tekna. Build quality and reliability is very good. It’s made in England so the money for it employs our lads. It’s comfortable With good boot space. Obsolete it is not with innovative features like E pedal and several other features. Some of the comments from The motoring press I find unwarranted. The car does the job and well.
I went for a Kona Electric and couldn’t be happier. A fabulous car and in the summer I’m getting up to 300 miles range in real world driving which I find amazing...
I get 105 on a 30kwh leaf and that's if you dont use aircon. The kona and eniro would be my choice. However depends on cost the vw ID will be my next car
@Borislav Borisov Great for the driver and passenger. Smart cruise control, lane follow assist and a quality stereo make long journeys a pleasure. Boot space is however rather limited so fine if there are just two of you but would be a struggle with four people and luggage. Mind you it does have roof rails so you could always add a roof box...
Same here, just bought 62Kwh Tekna for £29K. Kia e-Niro with same spec currently is around £39K, Tesla SR M3 -£41K. Both cars doesn't worth this price. Btw Tesla’s ST M3 price in US currently is £29K which is fair price for this car imho.
I haven't test driven the e-Niro yet but the Leaf is the smoother on the road and the tech seems better than anything Hyundai or VW have to offer. Most importantly the Leaf comes with a Level 2 charger.
£38k on a Nissan hatchback. The buyers of these cars will be doing low mileage to begin with, so the fuel savings aren’t really part of the debate. It’s simply far too expensive.
I've had Leafs fro about 6 years. The 62kWh battery is a real stride forward. I've been getting over 250 miles out of mine. The drive is pretty good. 85mph is not so great however that sort of speed is a rarety for my driving. The new features are a real step in the right direction. The e-Pedal is a game changer. Now you can drive an EV quickly around twisty bends and maintain perfect control. Just like having a gearbox. Looked at the e-Niro & Kona before buying the Leaf. Both of those are sooooooo ugly. Now at under £30k the Leaf is much better value. It's an important time to consider buying a car made in the UK rather one from Sputh East Asia.
@TF I do a regular 160 mile trips at 70-75mph. When I get to the other end, I have about 20-25% remaining. I've done the trip before in heavy traffic and had over 30% remaining.
I had an iMiev and was looking at moving to the Leaf. They do seem very well engineered - it's just such a shame the boot is so compromised by the sound system and way the seats fold. My miev had true fold-flat seats, and no boot lip at all. For a car that was converted from an old, low budget petrol kei-car design it was pure packaging mastery and elegance in how spacious and practical it was (I literally took a fridge-freezer to the tip and helped my mum move house with it), and it's sad that with a pure clean sheet to work with, Nissan overlooked little practicalities like this. But hey, with the Miev, Mistu/PSA forgot to put a *clock* anywhere on the dash, so, ya know... You have to wonder at the designers sometimes!
40 kw is a better bet according to your own organisation, and as you say here as it's lighter and of course better value in the pre used market. I would like to hear from owners who are 12 months into their ownership. But thanks for the review. Useful. I tried the Hyundai ioniq and was wholly underwhelemed but the new 2023 onwards version looks much better . The 2019 ioniq I tried was very long in the tooth. I have now opted for a 40 kw LEAF on a 21 plate. Got a good deal on this from a main Nissan dealer.
@@takamei6590 if you are doing regular trips under 100 miles the 40 kwh. The handling is better than the 62 kwh. WHAT CAR made this observation. So, depends on your driving needs longer trips 62 kwh shorter 40 kwh. Also the 40 kwh will now be cheaper too, I bought mine in February 2023 and fortunately I got a good price reduction and a good part ex from my local Nissan dealer. Your choice.
I bought an SVE in January, 8k Kms so far, it's a rapid car if you know how to plant the boot I can make it break traction at take off and 60+kmph, Yea its ride height could be lower so buy coilovers if you want that.. comfortable as it is and handles very well. Surprised it's so far down the list of the " best EV's " pro pilot is good but lane departure can be irritating on very narrow roads is my only gripe.
Further comment about Chademo. This system enables the car to be used on the electricity grid if you want it to help pay for your domestic electricity. The CCS system which it advocated as being superior does not have this ability.
I'd buy a Tesla Model 3 due to range, performance and charging network. It was also the largest selling EV in the world in 2018 and is on track to do the same in 2019.
I'd vote none of the above. In the 60kwh line-ups go for the Kia Soul. It's got by far the most practical cargo area of the lot, and none of that slopey roof stuff that trashes the rear space. Though it's a smaller battery, outside of 60kwh I'd definitely go with the Seat Mii / VW E-Up as they are really well packaged city sized cars but with good space, and I like the very unfussy interior without any of the pointless "tech for the sake of tech" stuff. I don't like distractions when I'm driving. I also like the less fussy styling on the outside too. It's a shame we don't have nearly aas much choice in Australia as the UK. The EV market here is a total joke, which is ridiculous, as Australia is overwhelmingly an urban population and also almost everyone has off road parking for changing, and way more people have home solar, so we should be way ahead in EV adoption, as we're so much better setup for it... but nope, the government is a dinosaur. No EV incentives, and in some states you actually pay an additional *tax* for every KM you drive in an EV, and only QLD has built out any sort of public charging infrastructure.
*repeatedly fast charging a battery dramatically shortens its life* It does. But what else can you do if you intend to use the your electric car primarily for long distance driving? It's a sort of a Catch-22-ish situation isn't it.
Today my Nissan Leaf has to go to Nissan heaven 2013 MK1 Purchased from Nissan Dealership, full service history and all repairs completed at Nissan and today at only 48k, yes 48k! miles the error code of inverter and motor was found with an estimated repair bill of £9800 pounds. Nissans response was car is over 8 years old so we cant help.
You can buy a used 2018 in Phoenix now for about 15k. Everybody is afraid of the battery. In Phoenix in the summer, with the AC on, it only goes about a hundred miles on the freeway. Plus with no cooling on that battery, you have to wonder how long it will last. For 15k though, I may have to step up. I figure I can pay for it in 4 years in fuel savings if the battery holds up
The leaf actually looks ok not a bad car at all, if I had a choice of an ev I would choose Kia soul ev or mg zs ev long range for value for money choice, but if money no option would be Kia ev6 or Mustang Mach e and also like the Skoda enyaq 👍👍🏴
I have my 40kw leaf leased for another year and a half. It's a great car, but this is not a compelling upgrade - sorry Nissan. I'm afraid I have to agree, they have really fallen behind. Unless they have something more radical than this in the pipeline, I'll be looking at other EVs for my next one.
The suspension feel of this Leaf is better than Tesla 3 (I have driven both). Tesla is way too hard on uneven roads when e+ handles them more in an SUV way, softer working out potholes and cracks. Not very objective review I am afraid
There is no serious throttling on e+ when driving realistic distances. London to Inverness is about 600 miles. That is 2 charges. Longer than that in a day? Don't think so
Wowww!! $40,000 smackeroos! And yet it STILL doesn't have a 400 mile range or ultra-fast 100% recharge in 5-10 mins. And they BETTER include the at-home fast charger for FREE with prices like this. Your average consumer simply can't afford such an expensive car...where you are clearly paying more, to get less. Until EV's can match the convenience and features of ICE vehicles (including a more realistic price, ~$25K), there will be NO EV revolution anytime soon.
jaro essa if you calculate the total cost of ownership the price is comparable. In the uk you do get the home charger for free. Whilst you pay more upfront, you pay less in fuel bills and maintenance costs over time. I thought an EV would be cheaper than my diesel civic but it actually turned out to be a LOT cheaper than I thought. You won’t know until you try it of course
@@MCSMIK you'd have to do a high mileage to make up for the approx£12k difference in asking price. Of course what will happen is that carmakers will reduce the difference by increasing ICE prices until they resemble EV prices. This has started already with cars like the Audi A1, an ordinary small hatch costing £30k if you choose a few options
I would buy a TESLA, Model 3 Performance, including premium connectivity and autopilot package. One big disadvantage of the NISSAN LEAF is, that you can't accellerate above 160 kph/100 mph. Real men, so called petrolheads, can get emarrassed at intersections.
Yes it does, when compared to the kia and hyundai. The kia and hyundai both have a very high range for the battery size because they are some of the most efficient cars on the market. So the leaf has a average range for that battery size.
I’ll take a soul or model 3. This is just over priced and old tec. It should have CCS and a 22kW 3phase charger. 6.6kw type 2 plug was grand for smaller batteries but come on Nissan stop penny pinching and then charging over the odds.
What you failed to mention about Chademo is that its bidirectional, most import part of this car in my opinoin! because my 24kWh in the winter months sits on the driveway running the heating system on cheap over night energy, which in an energy crisi is significant, and even more so in a power cut!! Or if the misses, or any other EV user for that matter, runs out of duce, I can jump in a go and put a charge in their car to get them out of trouble! No other EV's offers that service I can tell you!!!
I dont think this is car is worth that much money. Not only those missing premium features you already mention, but also no electric boot door that can be opened with the key, no electric seat adjuster, no smarthphone acting has a key, horrible navigation system and above all no thermal system on their batteries. They need to be more generous or the competition will eat them alive when their cars became more pretty and mature. (Because honestly, Nissan and Tesla are the ONLY good looking EV cars out there)
are you on drugs what blue high lights my 40 kwh leaf SL from 2018 has that blue high lights on it so I see nothing different there and nope I cannot cope with the speed loss that my car has already suffered since it was new top speed has dropped by 11% so far for that car so it's a lemon
Except self driving, only Tesla and Nissan have a system that can drive hands free and should you have a medical episode and detects no hands on the wheel slow down stop and put the hazard lights on. Kia, Hyundai well they just crash :-(
After the German Tesla factory is operational, I would think Tesla will be more attractive to Europeans. Also, I strongly suspect quality has risen since this report.
for me it is much about design. the original leaf was beautiful. the newer ones - like this, looks like a cheap suzuki, seen from front. i cannot live with that. if i am going to use that much cash on a car - it has to be beautiful. like the early leaf and zoe.
It's just not hitting the mark efficiency comfort, ride and handling it's failing dramatically in comparison to it's competition another nail in the leafs coffin you think the would have learnt from rapidgate lol. Fact remains they'll sell a shit load because there availability is there and buyers need to compromise as the waiting list for kia and Hyundai or pay a premium
I am waiting for my Leaf e+Tekna to be delivered. But this guy lost all credibilty with me when he makes an issue of the ride being 5mm higher! Is he serious one fifth of an inch, being an issue of mention. He is clutching at straws to discredit.
Your car choices are toooo. small.....My first choice....The new MX30. For mazda style and handling.........10---1 better choice......For longer range...The new XC40..........The ugle duckling Leaf...My bottom of the barrel choice......Paul
I wouldn't buy any of them. All too expensive. Basically, you are paying twice the price for an EV. Not interested until there is price parity between ICEs and Eva.
After several years, your Nissan Leaf's range will go down to 38miles per full charge.. And Nissan will abandon their Leaf Customers like they did before. Tesla is the way to go!
Like anything, as technology matures and manufacturing gets better organised and homogenised, price comes down. In the meantime, people on minimum wage would do well to consider buying, oh I don't know, a second hand car or getting a vehicle on finance. Not everybody HAS to have a new car. Low income individuals and households should be looking at used market, for their cars and many other things. It's called living within your means.
@@stephenwakeman3074 How much do you think a 3 yr old electric car cost to buy and repair ????????????????? People on min wage jobs tend to have to buy cars in the region of £5000 on loans .
So you think a 3 yr old tesla will cost £5000 , even a Mitsubishi prev would be £15k at least a 3 yr prius about the same, well beyond the means of less well off workers .
@@stevevater8598Cars are expensive. Proportionally, 15K is not that much. Your argument is non-specific Steve. Car manufacturers don't have many models except at the very bottom end that are that cheap and if you adjust for inflation, they never have. You're talking as though this is a new problem, but accessibility of a car for low income individuals has always been this way. Eventually it'll all be electric and so there'll be cheaper electric cars all around but you have to wait for the tech to mature, the ecosystem to grow and the culture to embed. Also, when this happens eventually there will still be poor people who will have difficulty buying a car new or used but that is a socioeconomic issue which is not specific to this car, this video or indeed this industry. So what do you want me to say? That they should have a 300 mile electric car that you can buy for 10K? Maybe. But they don't and until they do it's kinda just tough isn't it? People doing lots of miles in shorter journeys will make savings over the long term through significantly cheaper fuel (electricity instead of gasoline). The initial bigger outlay leads to cost savings elsewhere.

for me its all about price @Latvia cheapest Tesla starts @60 000 EUR i like better tesla
for me it is much about design. the original leaf was beautiful. the newer ones - like this, looks like a cheap suzuki, seen from front. i cannot live with that.
if i am going to use that much cash on a car - it has to be beautiful. like the early leaf and zoe.
Nice car love it
tesla model 3 please
Tesla if I was rich 🤑
It's just not hitting the mark efficiency comfort, ride and handling it's failing dramatically in comparison to it's competition another nail in the leafs coffin you think the would have learnt from rapidgate lol. Fact remains they'll sell a shit load because there availability is there and buyers need to compromise as the waiting list for kia and Hyundai or pay a premium
lost me at £40,000
Terrible recharge rate makes this a city car only.
Looking forward to more EV content coming up
Kia niro golf clubs fit,
is a must!
Or VW ID3 which is better then all of those 4
Pass. Will wait for the new Peugeot e-208
I am waiting for my Leaf e+Tekna to be delivered. But this guy lost all credibilty with me when he makes an issue of the ride being 5mm higher! Is he serious one fifth of an inch, being an issue of mention. He is clutching at straws to discredit.
I wood bye a cheaper 1!
The. We electric Corsa and 308 look way better
Sorry Nissan but Tesla Model 3 and the Kia range has you beat
I wouldn't buy that car. The steering wheel is in the passenger seat.
Second generation Hyundai ioniq electric only.
Your car choices are toooo. small.....My first choice....The new MX30. For mazda style and handling.........10---1 better choice......For longer range...The new XC40..........The ugle duckling Leaf...My bottom of the barrel choice......Paul
I wouldn't buy any of them. All too expensive. Basically, you are paying twice the price for an EV. Not interested until there is price parity between ICEs and Eva.
Ford Mustang 1978.
I would buy only that
Tesla model 3
I will buy toy car....more cheap....huhu....
E niro
I would buy one when you get 4000 miles range
After several years, your Nissan Leaf's range will go down to 38miles per full charge.. And Nissan will abandon their Leaf Customers like they did before. Tesla is the way to go!
Yeah Tesla still
Tesla of course.
Interior looks dated

How are people on min wage going to buy and run these idiotic cars ??
Like anything, as technology matures and manufacturing gets better organised and homogenised, price comes down. In the meantime, people on minimum wage would do well to consider buying, oh I don't know, a second hand car or getting a vehicle on finance. Not everybody HAS to have a new car. Low income individuals and households should be looking at used market, for their cars and many other things. It's called living within your means.
@@stephenwakeman3074 How much do you think a 3 yr old electric car cost to buy and repair ????????????????? People on min wage jobs tend to have to buy cars in the region of £5000 on loans .
So you think a 3 yr old tesla will cost £5000 , even a Mitsubishi prev would be £15k at least a 3 yr prius about the same, well beyond the means of less well off workers .
@@stevevater8598Cars are expensive. Proportionally, 15K is not that much. Your argument is non-specific Steve. Car manufacturers don't have many models except at the very bottom end that are that cheap and if you adjust for inflation, they never have. You're talking as though this is a new problem, but accessibility of a car for low income individuals has always been this way. Eventually it'll all be electric and so there'll be cheaper electric cars all around but you have to wait for the tech to mature, the ecosystem to grow and the culture to embed. Also, when this happens eventually there will still be poor people who will have difficulty buying a car new or used but that is a socioeconomic issue which is not specific to this car, this video or indeed this industry. So what do you want me to say? That they should have a 300 mile electric car that you can buy for 10K? Maybe. But they don't and until they do it's kinda just tough isn't it? People doing lots of miles in shorter journeys will make savings over the long term through significantly cheaper fuel (electricity instead of gasoline). The initial bigger outlay leads to cost savings elsewhere.
I will buy a Nissan when you get 4000 mile range.
