Nissan Leaf Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers
The Nissan Leaf sits between the smaller electric Micra and the larger Ariya in the brand’s electric car range. The third-generation model arrived in the UK in 2026 and moves away from the traditional hatchback shape of its predecessor in favour of a sleeker crossover design. Its five-seat layout and compact dimensions suit families, commuters and company car drivers looking for an electric car that works well around town.
A Nissan Leaf lease offers up to 387 miles of WLTP range, while its 437-litre boot provides useful luggage space for family and business use. The latest generation also introduces features including Google built-in, ProPILOT driver assistance and rapid charging from 10% to 80% in as little as 35 minutes, depending on the version.
The Leaf also officially qualifies for the Electric Car Grant, helping make Nissan Leaf leasing more affordable. Find out more in our guide to Electric Car Grant vehicles.

Engine & Performance
The Nissan Leaf is fully electric and uses a single electric motor driving the front wheels. Drivers can choose between 52kWh and 75kWh battery versions, both paired with a single-speed automatic transmission.
The 52kWh version produces 177PS (130kW) and 345Nm of torque. It reaches 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds and offers up to 280 miles of WLTP range.
The 75kWh version increases output to 218PS (160kW) and 355Nm of torque. It reaches 0-62mph in 7.6 seconds and offers the longest range in the line-up at up to 387 miles WLTP.
DC rapid charging reaches up to 105kW on the 52kWh model and 150kW on the 75kWh version. Both can charge from 10% to 80% in around 35 minutes under suitable conditions. An 11kW AC charger takes around six hours for the 52kWh battery and seven hours for the 75kWh battery, measured from 10% to 100%.
Exterior Features
The Nissan Leaf has a lower, more streamlined crossover shape than the previous-generation model. Its fastback-style roofline, flush door handles, flat underfloor and aerodynamically designed wheels all add to its cleaner profile.
Engage and Engage+ models use 18-inch alloy wheels, while Advance adds diamond-cut alloys. Evolve sits at the top of the range with 19-inch alloy wheels and aerodynamic covers. LED headlights and daytime running lights are fitted across the range.
Advance and Evolve add more distinctive exterior details, including 3D rear lights, a full-width front signature light with an illuminated Nissan badge, black roof rails and rear privacy glass. Adaptive Driving Beam and glare-free high beam are also included on these higher trims.
A dimming panoramic glass roof is standard on Advance and Evolve. It uses electronically controlled glass with four transparency settings and an infrared-reflective coating, removing the need for a conventional sunblind.
Interior Features
The Nissan Leaf has a five-seat cabin built around a wide dashboard. Engage models use dual 12.3-inch displays, while Engage+ and higher trims upgrade to dual 14.3-inch screens. Advance and Evolve also add a head-up display.
Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are fitted from Engage+ upwards. Advance introduces synthetic leather upholstery with fabric inserts and the dimming panoramic roof, while Evolve adds full synthetic leather upholstery and eight-way electrically adjustable front seats. The driver’s seat also gains a massage function on Evolve models.
The Leaf provides up to 437 litres of boot space with the rear seats in place, increasing to 1,052 litres when they are folded. Nissan also uses its Zero Gravity seat design for four passenger seats, while the flat cabin floor helps create more usable space for occupants.
Technology Overview
- Dual 12.3-inch displays on Engage, increasing to dual 14.3-inch screens from Engage+ for navigation, media, vehicle information and connected services.
- Google built-in from Engage+, including Google Maps, Google Assistant or Gemini where available, and access to compatible apps through Google Play.
- ProPILOT with Navi-link can adjust speed and positioning according to traffic, road conditions and navigation data while the driver remains responsible for control.

Its maximum 387-mile WLTP range, five-seat layout and zero tailpipe emissions make it suitable for commuting, client visits and regular business mileage.
For businesses managing several cars, the Leaf can also be included within a fleet leasing arrangement. We can help compare funding options, contract lengths, mileage allowances and suitable models across your fleet.
Personal Leasing
A Nissan Leaf personal lease gives you access to a new electric car for fixed monthly rentals without owning the car outright or managing its resale later.
Its compact dimensions, five-seat cabin, 437-litre boot and maximum 387-mile WLTP range make it well suited to commuting, family journeys and longer trips. Your contract length, annual mileage and initial rental are agreed at the start, and you return the car at the end subject to the agreed mileage and fair wear and tear guidelines.
Nissan Leaf Salary Sacrifice
The Nissan Leaf may also be suitable for salary sacrifice, giving eligible employees a tax-efficient way to drive a new electric car through their employer.
Your employer must have a salary sacrifice scheme in place and eligibility criteria apply. We can also support businesses that want to introduce or manage a salary sacrifice scheme for their employees.
