Nissan LEAF named ‘Best Used Family Electric Car’ at 2022 Carbuyer Car of the Year Awards

The Nissan LEAF has accelerated to the top of the charts once again as the second-generation model has been named Best Used Family Electric Car at the 2022 Carbuyer Car of the Year Awards.



Richard Ingram, Editor of Carbuyer and DrivingElectric said, “The Nissan LEAF is the car that kick-started the electric revolution – and yet it’s the advanced second-generation model that takes our Best Used Family Electric Car title for 2022. With a spacious cabin and a usable range, the LEAF has the ability to dramatically reduce your running costs without the high purchase prices often associated with new electric vehicles.”


At the annual Carbuyer Car of the Year awards, a team of experts judge each vehicle on how they perform in specific areas, as well the overall package. Each car that enters needs to impress in terms of costs, ownership, performance, comfort, safety and practicality.
