Nissan has released data revealing details about the reliability of the world’s bestselling electronic car, the Leaf. The information shows that 99.99% of its battery units remain entirely fit for purpose, proving that owners can rely on model as a trustworthy and reliable car for the long-term.

Those who have purchased the eco-friendly car have reported a significant difference in running costs. The eco-friendly car is tax free and 40 percent cheaper to run in comparison to other diesel or petrol powered cars. Drivers can also expect to save around £1,000 when travelling over the distance of 10,000 miles.

With just three main components involved in the running of the car, which are the inverter, charger and motor, the model is cheap and hassle free to maintain. In fact, British Gas now offer a 16Amp data-enabled HCU (Home Charging Unit) which has the ability to fully charge the Leaf within just eight hours, making charging at home easy and convenient.

The Leaf is available in a choice of three trims; the Acenta, Visia and Tekna, and you can expect large boot space in them all thanks to the relocation of the charging point. All models are fully equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen complete with sat-nav, which incorporates details of range and charging points. The Leaf also offers Bluetooth so you can monitor air-con and charging levels via mobile phone, as well as automatic lights and wipers, LED headlamps, privacy glass and a rear parking camera.

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

    Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
