All New Nissan LEAF is named the ‘Car to Watch’ for 2026 by Company Car & Van

The All New Nissan LEAF has kicked off 2026 by winning a prestigious award from an esteemed UK automotive magazine and website.

The all-electric, third-generation LEAF – which has now entered production at Nissan’s Sunderland plant – has been named ‘Car to Watch’ by Company Car and Van.

It’s the latest in a series of accolades new LEAF has won – before the first model has even been handed over to a UK customer!

In October last year, LEAF was declared The Sun newspaper’s Car of the Year and a little later, it picked up three trophies in the US Buzz Awards, being named Car of the Year, Best EV and Best Budget Vehicle.

In bestowing LEAF with its latest honour, the Editor of Company Car and Van, Andrew Walker, said: ‘‘We’re delighted to include the all-electric Nissan LEAF in our annual list of award winners. The car that started it all has a new lease of life for 2026.
