2025 Nissan LEAF Trims Comparison
Which 2025 LEAF trim does Edmunds recommend?
In the past, we have recommended stepping up to SV Plus as its greater range and added creature comforts make it a stronger overall vehicle. Now, with better alternatives to the SV Plus, the base Leaf S seems like the strongest of the lot. Why? Because there's nothing else like it. If you want a simple new EV for a low price and don't need road-trip-friendly range, it's the way to go.
2025 LEAF trim level differences
The 2025 Nissan Leaf is a compact electric hatchback available in two versions: the S and SV Plus. Each has its own battery pack, range and power output. The S has a 40-kWh battery pack (that's tiny by today's standards) that's good for an EPA-estimated 149 miles of range, plus a motor output of 147 horsepower. The Leaf SV Plus has a 62-kWh pack (still quite small) that provides 212 miles, plus a 214-hp motor.
