Nissan Leaf Hatchback

A familiar name reinvented for a new generation of electric driving, this five-door hatchback suits anyone wanting a straightforward, easy-to-live-with EV without unfamiliar badges or complicated tech. Comfortable rather than sporty, it settles into commuting and family duties with minimal fuss, making it a sensible entry point for drivers new to electric motoring. WLTP range for this entry version runs to around 271 miles, with rapid DC charging topping out at 105kW for a useful top-up in well under an hour. Five seats and a 437-litre boot cover most family needs, while the compact hatchback shape keeps it easy to park and manoeuvre in town. One honest caveat: this is the smaller-battery version of the range, so those covering longer distances regularly may want to look at the larger pack instead.
