2023 Nissan Leaf: The Last Model Year
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- For 2023 we are loosing one of the most iconic electric vehicles that has seen huge global success over the last 12 years. Nissan is discontinuing this air-cooled hatchback styled Leaf in favor of a smaller crossover style that is liquid cooled for the future. Despite having the CHAdeMO charging standard, as the industry is leaning on CCS, it is still one of the few vehicles under $36K that can reach over 200 miles of range and carries the full tax credit as well. As Nissan will discontinue this model and later form it into a smaller crossover, is the Nissan Leaf hatchback still worth a look in 2023? Here is a review of the final year and generation of one of the most iconic electric vehicles across the world.

I just bought a 2023 Leaf & love it! Great vehicle for the price!
I love my gen1.2 and was looking forward to its replacement in 2024/25 but if its replacement is smaller? the Leaf is a perfect size for us then no, I will buy the BYD atto3 gen2
Thanks for the comment! From what I have heard, the next generation LEAF is actually going to be turned into an SUV/Crossover, so it might a little larger, but more than likely smaller than the new Ariya - Brandan
@@EverydayEV Interesting!
Gen 1.2 is 2014/2015? Have seen others call 2012 or maybe 2013 Gen 2.
Not the last model year. These guys made that up. Nissan has consistently said mid decade end. 24 or 25.
I have a 2024 Leaf.... so 23 was NOT the last model year. PS, I love it, so why is it "infamous"? And from 23, there are only TWO trim levels, so no such thing as "mid level". S and SV Plus and that's it.
Great review! Would love to have seen a listing showing the top model 2022 SL Plus features that did and didn't make it into the 2023 SV Plus and side-by-side photos of the visual differences.
Why you want leather or leatherette? Can you explain that?
I was happy that they didn't include either!
We had the 60 mile MK1 Leaf Tekna back in 2014 and loved it (apart from the range) but wasn’t impressed with the second version which was the original car with another top bolted onto it. I feel Nissan have lost their way by not increasing the range or features which are a bit clunky for 2023, pity as now the Chinese will soon be eating their lunch
Why so slow if it has 214hp and 236 pf of torque? That’s ridiculous. If you can’t keep up with a Bolt, that’s bad.
The LEAF is slightly longer, wider and heavier than the Bolt EV, so that might impact the acceleration/performance difference. I’m honestly surprised at the difference in acceleration between the two, especially with their figures being so similar 😅 - Brandan
The performance difference is neither here nor there.
Likely 1 more Model year coming for Leaf
It seemed odd to redesign for only 1 year. Any word on the new SUV/Crossover Leaf?
@RetroDawn 2025..but guessing it's 2026 given how late Ariya is to market. It's to Nissan's advantage to habe 2 EVs offered, with one more value priced. Especially since Leaf still gets 7500 tax credit.
