Nissan LEAF Resale Value and Depreciation
See how much the Nissan LEAF depreciates and retains its value over a 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-year timeframe.
Depreciation is the single largest factor in the cost of owning a vehicle. That means knowing how much a vehicle depreciates over time and how well it will hold its value is important. iSeeCars analyzed over 15 million vehicles to determine how much each model depreciates over a 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-year period. Typically, five years is the timeframe used to evaluate and compare depreciation across vehicles.
A new Nissan LEAF depreciates 64.5 percent after five years, resulting in a resale value of $9,981. In comparison, the hatchback category, which the Nissan LEAF belongs to, loses 36.6 percent of its value after five years. The five-year depreciation for all cars is 45.5 percent.
If you plan to drive a new Nissan LEAF for shorter or longer than five years, check the depreciation data for the other time periods. After three years, an Nissan LEAF sees a depreciation of 54.4 percent with a resale value of $12,827. Its 7-year depreciation is 70.5 percent and 10-year depreciation is 81.4 percent.

Methodology
iSeeCars analyzed over 15 million vehicles to calculate the depreciation and resale value for each model after 3, 5, 7, and 10 years. The depreciation for a given model is calculated from the difference between the new car price and the used car price for the model at each age. Factors such as the car's automaker and vehicle segment are taken into account in iSeeCars' mathematical model to estimate resale value and depreciation. Various segment averages are also calculated for context.
