Nissan UK has officially opened orders for a new 52kWh battery variant of the Leaf, providing a mid-range alternative to the recently introduced 75kWh model. This strategic addition to the lineup aims to balance range and affordability for British drivers.
Grant Eligibility and Pricing
A key advantage of the 52kWh version is its pricing structure. Nissan confirmed that this specific variant qualifies for the United Kingdom's full £3,750 Electric Car Grant, a factor that significantly lowers the entry barrier for new EV buyers. This move follows the rollout of the larger 75kWh version, ensuring the Leaf remains competitive in a crowded market.
While the 75kWh model caters to long-distance commuters, the 52kWh variant is positioned as a versatile choice for urban and suburban driving, maintaining the Leaf's legacy as a foundational pillar of the electric vehicle transition in Europe.
