Since December 2010, Nissan has collectively sold 173,332 LEAFs in the U.S., and the company is steadily approaching the 200,000 mark.

Is Nissan LEAF 2022 a Good Car?
U.S. News said that a user-friendly infotainment system and quick powertrains are features of the 2022 Nissan LEAF. There is a ton of passenger space inside, as well as standard safety equipment, and the infotainment system is commended for being simple to use. Additionally, it has rapid acceleration and is simple to control.
One of the most reasonably priced all-EV available, the LEAF should be taken into consideration by customers with a tight budget.
Unfortunately, the LEAF's driving range is worse than that of competitors, its interior has some low-quality components, and its rear seats cannot be folded flat, U.S. News reported. The news outlet said that the Chevrolet Bolt EUV or Tesla Model 3, which both have greater driving ranges than the LEAF, should be taken into account by those with a bigger budget.
Nissan Announced LEAF 2023 Model
The LEAF's starting costs rose by $400 for the 2023 model year, and its trims and specifications differed slightly from those of the 2022 model, as per Inside EVs.
CNET mentioned that Nissan streamlined its LEAF EV lineup for the 2023 model year, and the carmaker on June 21 disclosed prices for the range's reorganized offering. Although that price excludes a potential $7,500 federal tax credit, the base LEAF now starts at $28,895 including $1,095 for destination, an increase of $470 over the 2022 model.
The LEAF is one of the least priced new EVs now available for purchase, even with these modest price hikes. It's important to note that Chevrolet just significantly reduced the prices of its Bolt EV and Bolt EUV hatchbacks, which actually place them below the LEAF and also provide a greater range.
However, the LEAF should still appeal to those who desire simple electric transportation due to its low price, though.
