Specs at a Glance
For the 2026 model year, the Nissan LEAF receives significant upgrades, including an increased electric range and more sophisticated cabin amenities. Its fresh transformation into a sleek, small SUV ensures easy handling while delivering a contemporary aesthetic. If you're looking for a highly affordable electric SUV, the new LEAF is an excellent option. Reviewing the variances between the S+ and SV+ trims will help you maximize your vehicle's value.
Performance
An identical AC synchronous motor powers both models, generating a robust 214 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. However, the driver-assist features alter the handling dynamics between the trims. The S+ utilizes a standard rear sonar setup, whereas the SV+ steps up to front and rear sonar to enhance parking precision. Both options offer an impressive 303-mile driving range.
Appearance
This handsome compact SUV brings a modern flair to the electric vehicle segment. The S+ trim features 18" steel wheels with aerodynamic covers, while the SV+ moves up to 18" aluminum-alloy wheels. The SV+ also gains practical exterior styling like a driver-side mirror turn indicator. Standard across the board are intelligent low and high-beam LED headlights and crisp LED taillights, with color choices like Deep Ocean Blue and Everest White.
Features
Modern tech is front and center, with a 12.3" informational screen on the S+ and a larger 14.3" display on the SV+. The SV+ trim adds standard front wireless device charging, which is unavailable on the S+. Cabin appointments also differ; the S+ has cloth seating with a 6-way adjustable driver's seat, while the SV+ includes an 8-way adjustable driver's seat, TailorFit front seating, leatherette rear surfaces, and rear air vents. Both trims share driver aids like hill start assist, traffic sign recognition, and brake assist, though the SV+ comes with extra safety features.
