2022 Nissan LEAF, One of the Best Value in Electric Vehicles

The Nissan LEAF was the first mass-market EV ever to be put into production. Since its introduction in 2010, Nissan has gone on to sell over half a million LEAF vehicles, globally. It’s estimated that LEAF drivers have driven well over five billion environmentally friendly miles all over the planet.

The Nissan LEAF has always been a premier EV vehicle that scores highly in the ‘value’ department, but because of the cost of a brand-new Nissan LEAF, many customers have had to settle for a preowned vehicle. Nissan has announced that it intends to increase the accessibility of the latest model of the LEAF by lowering its MSRP. In addition, qualified LEAF buyers may be able to claim a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for purchasing a new, environmentally friendly vehicle. The federal tax credit though is only eligible for the base model of the LEAF, the ‘S’ trim.

For Sheer Value in Electric Vehicles, it is Hard to Beat the 2022 Nissan LEAF

The latest release of the LEAF has a 40 KWh battery and a 110-kW motor that delivers 137 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. It is available in both ‘S’ and ‘SV’ trims and has a range of just under 150 miles. The LEAF PLUS has an increased capacity 63 KWh battery and a 160-kW motor that delivers 214 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The larger battery increases the range of the LEAF to 226 miles and is available in three trims: ‘S PLUS’, ‘SV PLUS’ and ‘SL PLUS’.

The LEAF is a multi-award-winning vehicle. In April 2021, Autotrader included the Nissan LEAF within its list of the ‘ten best EVs for 2021’. All cars selected for consideration had to meet the following criteria: being priced under $75,000; having a plug or the capability to run solely on electricity for at least fifteen miles, and to have been available to the public to buy before November 2021.

Describing the LEAF, Autotrader said "Now in its second generation, it's still a strong contender on the more affordable side of EVs. The styling is sleek, the interior is roomy, and the base price is within reach of a wide range of shoppers."

The Kelley Blue Book Has Also Handed the Nissan LEAF an Admired Accolade

The Kelley Blue Book (KBB) is a trusted source of information for people looking to purchase any kind of automobile and has been since 1926. The KBB annually gives out ‘5-Year Cost to Own’ awards, and in 2021 the Nissan LEAF has been in receipt of an award. The award is giving to vehicles that the KBB ascertains give the most value to owners over a five-year period. It is the fourth year running that the Nissan LEAF has won the award for the EV category.

"Choosing a car with low ownership costs can help shoppers save a significant amount of money over time – often several hundred and sometimes even thousands of dollars – so it’s worthwhile to research the cost to own details of any new car you’re considering,” said Eric Ibara, director of KBB.
