Revealed at the 2022 New York International Show, the 2023 model year Leaf rolled out in June 2022 with a starting price of $27,800 (excluding the $1,095 destination charge). No upgrades were brought for 2024, yet Nissan hiked up the manufacturer suggested retail price to $28,140 in the USA.
Prospective customers who need more driving range can upgrade from the S trim level to the SV Plus, which is $36,190 as opposed to $35,800 last year. Slotted below the Ariya crossover, the Leaf hatchback comes exclusively in FWD.
The S grade flaunts 40 kilowatt hours and 149 miles (240 kilometers) of driving range on the combined test cycle. Stepping up to the SV Plus means 60 kilowatt hours and 212 miles (341 kilometers) on a full charge of the lithium-ion battery. There's no denying the Leaf is getting on a bit, yet that's also the reason why Nissan keeps its price this low.
In the suck-squeeze-bang-blow department, 147 horsepower and 236 pound-feet (320 Nm) of torque will have to suffice in the S. For the SV Plus, make that 214 horsepower and 250 pound-feet (340 Nm) of torque from the front drive unit.
Every Leaf comes with something called EV Carefree+, a package that includes roadside assistance, battery health assurance, charging assistance, and scheduled maintenance. Nissan says the S can be juiced up to 80 percent in circa 40 minutes via the quick charging port, whereas the SV Plus needs 60 minutes. Both of them come standard with a charging cable for connecting to 120- and 240-volt power outlets.
When it comes to in-car entertainment, an 8.0-inch color display that knows how to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is the highlight. SiriusXM, four USB ports, an HVAC timer for pre-cooling or pre-heating the cabin, and a charging timer are standard as well. Those in the market for the pricier SV Plus are further presented with sat nav, NissanConnect Services, and a trial subscription to NissanConnect EV. The latter is built around an app that allows owners to check and change charging settings, plan routes, and many more.
Automatic climate control and 16-inch wheels are standard as well, together with the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite, Intelligent Key with push-button start, and rear parking sensors. The SV Plus builds on the S with 17-inch wheels, fog lights, eight-way power adjustments for the driver seat, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats and outside mirrors, ProPILOT Assist, as well as LED headlights and DRLs.
Every Leaf's battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles (nearly 160,000 kilometers) for defects and excessive capacity loss. The powertrain is covered for five years or 60,000 miles (100,000 kilometers). Basic coverage, on the other hand, is three years or 36,000 miles (60,000 kilometers).
