Nissan has reaffirmed its leadership in electric mobility, with the new British-built LEAF ranking first overall out of 161 electric vehicles on sale in the UK by Auto Express. The top placing reasserts LEAF’s position as the title’s overall Car of the Year for 2026.
Evaluating every electric car available on the UK market, Auto Express’s expert reviewers placed the third-generation LEAF ahead of all competitors. Praising the LEAF’s design shift from hatchback to fastback, it’s user friendly interior featuring built-in Google tech, and it’s real-world usability with a range of up to 386 miles and 105kW rapid charging capability.
Auto Express noted:
“The all-new third-generation Nissan LEAF stands head and shoulders above them all in our eyes. In fact, we think this outstanding electric family car – which offers excellent value for money and manages to hit the sweet spot in every area – is the best new car on sale. EV or not.”
