Nissan Leaf

It's the Car of the Year and one of the most exciting car launches ever. Expect to see the first examples on the road in March

Nissan Leaf

March sees the launch of a truly game-changing car: Nissan’s electric Leaf. Journalists across Europe judged that its mix of space, efficiency and driving dynamics made it worthy of the 2011 European Car of the Year title. It costs £23,350 once the £5,000 electric grant has been deducted, or can be leased for £397 a month.

The high prices don’t sound as bad when you consider electric fill-ups cost around £2. That will take you a claimed 110 miles, with a top speed of 90mph.

Leafs bound for UK dealers are initially being built in Japan, but that will change in 2013 when production of the car and its lithium-ion battery pack is up and running in Sunderland.
