Thinking of buying the 2017 Nissan Leaf?

A buyer's checks
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 17 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electrical system and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked.
Specs, explained
The electric motor, paired with a 1-speed automatic, drives it. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It uses 18.6 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 56 kWh of charge. Its rated range is 172 km on a full charge; real range drops in cold weather and at highway speeds. Every 100 km costs about $2.79 in electricity at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$650 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Room inside
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 680 litres of luggage space fit bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A test week in the Leaf tells you more than any review.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $2.79 in electricity.
