Used 2022 Nissan LEAF Hatchback Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2022 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 149 miles of range. Nissan upgrades the Leaf Plus with a 62-kWh battery that provides 226 miles of range in its base trim, and 215 miles in more well-equipped models. 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?
Right off the bat, we think it's worth upgrading to the Leaf Plus. The standard Leaf's 149 miles of range isn't competitive with other EVs, and the limited maximum distance on a full battery will make longer road trips challenging. Once you're comfortable with spending extra for the larger battery, it's a short price jump to the Leaf SV Plus. It comes with a lot more features, including Nissan's excellent ProPilot Assist suite of driving aids. The SL's short list of upgrades makes it only necessary if you want leather upholstery or the Bose audio system.
