Driving the 2017 Nissan Leaf recently was like an extended sad goodbye to a respected old teacher for what you know will be the last time. One whose health and best days are clearly behind it, but whose teachings you know left a legacy that’s worth recognizing.

Very similar to how we felt when we traded in our family’s 2012 Leaf just last year: bittersweet, but it was time to go.

Almost six years have passed since Nissan brought to Canada its all-electric Leaf: the first mainstream battery electric vehicle sold in the country. Unlike the Chevrolet Volt that was introduced right alongside it in an unusual futuristic electrified tag team, the Leaf hasn’t seen a full redesign in the seven years it’s been in the North American market. With an all-new 2018 Leaf waiting to be officially unveiled in September, this generation of Leaf will soon be a notable entry in automotive history.
