Used 2021 Nissan LEAF Hatchback Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2021 Nissan Leaf is a compact electric hatchback available in two versions: the regular Leaf and the Leaf Plus. The two differ in battery capacity and power output. The regular Leaf has a 40-kWh battery that's good for about 150 miles of range. Nissan upgrades the Leaf Plus with a 62-kWh battery that provides 226 miles of range. The Plus also has a more powerful 214-horsepower electric motor compared to the regular model's 147-hp motor.
Which LEAF trim does Edmunds recommend?
We'll happily pay extra for the larger battery and more power motor, so we'd suggest going straight for the SV Plus. If you think you might find yourself in heavy traffic on a daily basis, we'd recommend the SV Technology package for Nissan's semi-automated driving system, ProPilot Assist, and a more comfortable eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat.
