Thinking of buying the 2014 Nissan Leaf?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2014 Nissan Leaf for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2014 Nissan Leaf for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Leaf
There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 34 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, electrical system and air bags; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The engine is the electric motor, with front-wheel drive and a 1-speed automatic. 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.
At 18.6 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 56 kWh. Rated range: 135 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. The electricity for 100 km comes to about $2.79 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is rated at 680 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
A longer test drive
Drive the Leaf on your commute before you commit to it. If the Leaf is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
