Specs at a Glance
The 2026 Nissan LEAF ranks among the top-tier electric vehicles currently available. Customers consistently praise this electric subcompact SUV for its premium cabin materials, rapid-charging capabilities, and accessible price point. For those shopping for a new LEAF, the decision often comes down to the S+ or the top-spec Platinum+ trim. Here is how these two choices match up against each other.
Performance
Both trims share a single-motor electric drive system that outputs 214 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. Excellent low-end response ensures responsive, brisk acceleration. Four distinct drive profiles are available to choose from: Standard, Eco, Sport, and Personal. If you want the maximum driving range available, the S+ trim is your best option. It boasts an EPA-estimated range of up to 303 miles. In comparison, the Platinum+ version delivers an EPA-estimated range of up to 259 miles on a full charge.
Appearance
The entry-grade LEAF S+ has an incredibly sharp aesthetic. Features like flush-fitting motorized door handles and a sculpted aerodynamic body are bound to draw attention. Up front, a prominent V-Motion grille and stacked LED headlights provide a bold face. A stylish rear spoiler completes the rear look, while 18-inch steel wheels with aerodynamic covers help optimize efficiency. You can get this base trim in three colors: Deep Ocean Blue Pearl, Gun Metallic, and Black Diamond Pearl.
The Platinum+ trim adds sophisticated exterior design touches. It features unique 19-inch alloy wheels and can be ordered with a contrasting black roof for a two-tone aesthetic. A full-width LED light bar also spans the front of the Platinum+ trim.
Features
Nissan packed the LEAF S+ with a high level of standard equipment. The dashboard features dual 12.3-inch widescreen displays for a high-tech vibe. Drivers will appreciate ProPILOT Assist, which automates steering and speed adjustments during highway travel. Other highlights include wireless smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keyless entry, and standard driver-assist technologies.
Choosing the Platinum+ unlocks a much more luxurious cabin. The most impressive upgrade is the dimming panoramic glass roof. Music lovers will enjoy the Bose Personal Plus audio system, which includes headrest-mounted speakers. Rear-seat climate control vents and dual-zone temperature control keep all passengers cozy. Additional features include larger 14.3-inch touchscreens with Google built-in, wireless charging, and TailorFit synthetic leatherette upholstery.
