Nissan gives the 2026 LEAF notable upgrades, including an increased driving range and more premium interior options to elevate your everyday drives. Its new look as a small SUV allows it to remain highly maneuverable while offering a modern layout. It represents one of the most affordable options for SUV shoppers today. Make sure to examine the differences between the LEAF S+ and SV+ trims to fully capture the features you need.
Performance
An identical AC synchronous motor provides both versions with 214 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. You'll find that driver-assistance tech changes the handling feedback for each trim; for example, the S+ comes with a rear sonar system, but the SV+ features both front and rear sonar to assist with parking. Both models provide a 303-mile range.
Appearance
This handsome compact SUV is a vehicle you will love to drive. S+ models carry 18" steel wheels with aero covers, while SV+ models step up to 18" aluminum-alloy wheels. The SV+ also adds a driver-side mirror turn signal indicator for extra convenience. LED low/high beams with intelligent auto control and standard LED taillights are included on both, with choices like Deep Ocean Blue and Everest White.
Features
Packed with modern tech, the newest LEAF offers a 12.3" display on the S+ and a 14.3" multi-function display on the SV+. Wireless device charging is built into the front of the SV+ but is omitted from the S+. Interior choices vary, with the S+ receiving cloth seats and a 6-way adjustable driver's seat, while the SV+ comes with an 8-way adjustable driver's seat, TailorFit front seats, leatherette rear seating, and rear air vents. While both models feature standard safety tech like hill start assist, traffic sign recognition, and brake assist, the SV+ adds a few extra driver assist features.
