Buying the 2016 Nissan Leaf
No 2016 Nissan Leaf is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2016 Nissan Leaf? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the Leaf
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the electric motor, with front-wheel drive. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Energy use is rated at 18.5 kWh/100 km, about 56 kWh for 300 km. On paper it goes 172 km between charges, less in winter. A 300 km weekend costs about $8.34 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$650 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Leaf
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
The Leaf in everyday use
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 680 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the Leaf on your commute, then decide. If the Leaf is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Leaf first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $27.80 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $2.78 in electricity. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Send a request
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 Nissan Leaf from us first.

Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2016 Nissan Leaf for you and reply within one business day.
