🚗✨ Surprise of the Year: The Nissan Leaf Takes the Crown! ✨🚗


Move over BMW, Audi, and Tesla—there’s a new champion in town! The Auto Express Car of the Year 2026 award goes to the fabulous Nissan Leaf. Known for pioneering the electric car revolution back in the early 2010s, the Leaf has hit a home run again, this time as an impressive electric SUV.

What makes the Leaf so special? It ticks all the boxes for range, quality, and price, making it a dream car for families and individuals alike. Reviewers say it’s a complete package with standout performance in every key area. 🌿🔋
It’s not just about function—style is on point too! The Leaf is turning heads with its striking design that’s even getting comparisons to a brand new Ferrari. Yes, you read that right! 😮
But what’s a celebration without a little critique? Although the Leaf is amazing, a few tweaks on the air-con switches and transmission selector could take it to new heights.
And there’s more! Alongside its crowning glory, the Leaf also bagged the Small Company Car of the Year award, proving it’s as versatile as it is exciting. 🏆🚙
Nissan is on a roll, teaming up with Chinese giant Chery to utilise their Sunderland facility for producing vehicles in 2027. A nod to the growing presence of Chinese cars on UK roads and a win for local workers!
Cheers to the Nissan Leaf, showing us that sometimes the unexpected can deliver beyond expectations! 🎉🚗
