Picking up three awards in total, the Nissan Leaf is one of the most decorated new cars of the year. For families and eco switchers who want long range without a premium price, it is well worth a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"928\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nissan-Leaf-Car-of-the-Year-1.webp\" alt=\"All-New Nissan Leaf wins car of the year 2026\" class=\"wp-image-26345\" style=\"width:928px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nissan-Leaf-Car-of-the-Year-1.webp 928w, https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nissan-Leaf-Car-of-the-Year-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nissan-Leaf-Car-of-the-Year-1-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A triple award win<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new LEAF swept three categories at the 2026 Auto Express New Car Awards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Car of the Year, judged against every rival on sale, electric, petrol, and diesel alike, so this is a genuinely class-leading car rather than just a strong EV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small Company Car of the Year, so it makes a compelling case for business and fleet drivers looking to cut running costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affordable Electric Car of the Year, so it delivers proper long-range electric motoring at a price that undercuts much of the market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Three wins from one car is rare, and it tells you the judges rated the LEAF on the fundamentals that matter to real buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the judges rated it so highly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up to 386 miles of range (WLTP), so most drivers can cover a week of commuting, or a long motorway run, between charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pricing from \u00a328,849, so genuine long-range electric motoring is now within reach of far more buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A composed, comfortable ride with tidy handling, so it feels settled and easy to live with on everything from town streets to the motorway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the combination that stands out. Plenty of EVs do one of these things well. The LEAF does all three at a price that makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designed and built in Britain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new LEAF is engineered and built at Nissan&#8217;s plant in Sunderland, which has now produced three generations of the model. That means buyers get a homegrown car backed by more than 15 years of Nissan electric expertise. With the reassurance that comes with a car developed and assembled here in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clever tech and a battery to suit you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google built-in, so navigation, apps, and voice control are baked straight into the car&#8217;s screen, no phone required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vehicle-to-Load and vehicle-to-grid capability, so the battery can power external devices or feed energy back, adding real everyday usefulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A choice of 52kWh or 75kWh battery packs, so you can pick the range that fits your driving rather than paying for more than you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buy your new LEAF with confidence at Stoneacre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/buy-all-new-nissan-leaf.jpg\" alt=\"LEAF logo on back of car\" class=\"wp-image-26347\" style=\"width:504px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/buy-all-new-nissan-leaf.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/buy-all-new-nissan-leaf-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/buy-all-new-nissan-leaf-768x422.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As an officially approved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/dealerships\/nissan\">Nissan dealer<\/a>, Stoneacre gives you: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the full manufacturer&#8217;s warranty <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>manufacturer-trained technicians<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Genuine parts, and the <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>latest official offers. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you get peace of mind from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is flexibility on how you pay for it, too.
