Car financing: the 2020 Nissan Leaf
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 Nissan Leaf; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2020 Nissan Leaf, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 167 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, fuel/propulsion system and unknown or other. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the figures tell you
The electric motor with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.
For every 100 km it uses about 19.5 kWh. A full charge is rated for 364 km; plan for less in the cold. Expect about $2.93 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$717 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the Leaf suits
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 680 litres of luggage space fit bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Leaf first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the Leaf for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. 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.

Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
