Nissan Leaf Hatchback

The Leaf is one of the cheapest electric car options for our personal and company car customers. Expect to pay around £250 - £375 per month on the best leasing deals. The Leaf is comparatively priced to a Peugeot e-208 or Vauxhall Corsa-e but with added space for families and pets

The Leaf is one of the best-value family hatchbacks to lease in the UK and we anticipate many of those customers looking for cheap EV leasing to end up with the Nissan. What adds some great comfort to personal and business customers is that this manufacturer has an actual heritage in the world of electrification unlike most of the competition, having produced these cars for over 11 years. The Japanese manufacturer are anything other than the new kids on the block. The only negative to the Leaf is the slow AC charging – we are unsure as to why the brand did not increase this capability to 11 or 22 kW like the competition. This is rated by CarWow at 8/10, Autocar give it 4/5 and What Car? are at 3/5.

The suitability of the Leaf will not just be about the cheaper monthly rental, lower company car tax exposure or the functional family designs. As a pure electric car, this needs additional thoughts around your home or workplace charging solutions, seasonal range analysis and fleet demographics. Using our bespoke “Living with your …” tools our customers soon understand just how the Leaf will operate and what experience they can deliver. This means you should never procure a solution which isn’t suitable for your needs and requirements.

Many leasing customers head to on price comparison websites such as AutoLeaseCompare, CarWow, LeaseFetcher and LeaseLoco for the best EV leasing prices. Newer review resources like GreenCarGuide and Fully-Charged can also provide pricing info for you or the fleet manager. However, the majority of our best Leaf lease offers can be found on the e-car lease website. And if you want to find out if it is better to lease or buy the Leaf, head to your local Nissan dealership for a test-drive and comparable PCP or HP quotation.

At the time of writing, the cheapest option to select is the HATCHBACK 110kW Acenta 39kWh 5dr Auto. But as e-car sometimes bulk purchase specific cars, or our select finance companies do, sometimes a higher specification Leaf will be a cheaper monthly price.

One of the best things about the e-car lease website is our “Living with your …” tools which clearly set out the range abilities of your Leaf. And why don’t we use just one figure? Because there are a number of factors which can influence range, we prefer to give a balanced view for you or the directors to review. Taking the standard battery, this hatchback should cover 105 miles on a highway and 145 miles in urban driving on a full charge in colder climates. In warmer climates, expect 135 miles on a highway and 220 miles in urban driving. In terms of the e+ this will deliver 150 miles on highways and 210 miles in urban conditions during colder temperatures, with the warmer temperatures allowing for 195 miles on highways and 315 miles of stop/start urban driving.
