2025 Nissan LEAF Hatchback Trims Comparison
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.
Which 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.
