The all-new Nissan LEAF has arrived at Hendy – and it is already making headlines after being named Auto Express Car of the Year 2026 and the publication’s best electric car to buy now.

Nissan’s latest electric model has received the top honour from Auto Express, which praised the new LEAF as an outstanding family EV and awarded it a five-star rating in its 2026 electric car rankings. Now, motorists can see what all the excitement is about for themselves, with the new LEAF available to test drive at Hendy Nissan.

The latest generation represents a significant change for the nameplate that helped pioneer mainstream electric motoring. Rather than the familiar hatchback shape of previous generations, the new LEAF has been transformed into a sleek crossover, combining Nissan’s electric-car heritage with a more contemporary design.

From EV Pioneer to Award Winner

The original Nissan LEAF made history when it launched in 2010 as the world's first mass-produced all-electric car. More than a decade later, Nissan has reinvented the nameplate for a new generation of drivers.

Auto Express's decision to make the new LEAF its 2026 Car of the Year comes as the electric-car market becomes increasingly competitive, with manufacturers offering greater choice in terms of range, technology and price.

The new LEAF is available in a choice of grades, including Engage, Engage+, Advance and Evolve. 

For Hendy customers, the award gives the new arrival an impressive introduction, but the dealership says the best way to understand the new LEAF is to get behind the wheel. The all-new Nissan LEAF is available to test drive now at Hendy Nissan.

With Auto Express having already crowned it the best car of 2026, drivers can now decide for themselves whether Nissan's latest electric model deserves the accolades.
