Experience an upgraded commute in the 2026 Nissan LEAF, which now features a longer driving range and more luxurious cabin options. Redesigned as a nimble small SUV, it retains its signature agility while adopting a modern aesthetic. It stands as one of the most reasonably priced options for anyone looking to purchase an SUV. Take a close look at the differences between the LEAF S+ and SV+ to find your ideal configuration.

Performance

A shared AC synchronous motor generates 214 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque for both models. However, available safety technologies alter the driving dynamics; the S+ features a rear sonar system, whereas the SV+ offers both front and rear sonar to make parking hassle-free. Both versions are rated for a 303-mile driving range.

Appearance

This attractive small SUV brings a sophisticated look to every driveway. On the S+, you'll find 18" steel wheels with aero covers, while the SV+ upgrades to 18" aluminum-alloy wheels. The SV+ also includes a helpful driver-side turn signal indicator on the exterior mirror. Both trims come with standard LED taillights and intelligent auto control LED high/low beam headlights, available in colors like Everest White and Deep Ocean Blue.

Features

A tech-forward cabin provides a 12.3" multi-function screen in the S+ and a 14.3" screen in the SV+. Wireless smartphone charging is standard in the front of the SV+ but omitted from the S+. Seat configurations depend on the trim: the S+ comes with cloth upholstery and a 6-way adjustable driver's seat, while the SV+ adds an 8-way adjustable driver's seat, TailorFit front seating, leatherette rear seats, and rear air vents. Both trims are backed by standard brake assist, hill start assist, and traffic sign recognition, with the SV+ getting a few more advanced safety additions.
