LEAF e+ 62 kWh (MY19-22)

The Nissan LEAF e+ 62 kWh (MY19-22) is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2019 to 2022, when it cost £32,945 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.3 seconds, slower than 61% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 214 miles (345 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 30% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 19th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (171 Wh/km), more efficient than 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 185 miles (297 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 2019 example is estimated at £6,500–£9,100 and a 2022 one at £10,600–£12,500, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2019 car should still manage about 186 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
