Specs at a Glance
The 2026 Nissan LEAF is highly rated among today's best electric SUVs. Drivers applaud this subcompact electric crossover for its premium cabin, fast-charging capabilities, and overall value. Buyers looking for a new LEAF will likely decide between the S+ and Platinum+ models. Here is a breakdown of how these two trims stack up against each other.
Performance
Both trims share a single-motor electric system that develops 214 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. Outstanding off-the-line torque allows the SUV to accelerate with ease. You can choose from four driving modes: Standard, Eco, Sport, and Personal. If maximum range is your priority, the S+ trim is the better choice. It is EPA-rated to deliver up to 303 miles of range. In comparison, the Platinum+ trim has an EPA-estimated range of up to 259 miles on a full charge.
Appearance
The entry-level LEAF S+ features a sleek and modern design. Its aerodynamic lines and flush motorized door handles give it a highly streamlined look. Up front, a bold V-Motion grille and stacked LED headlights help make a memorable first impression. Efficiency is optimized by 18-inch steel wheels with aero covers, while a rear spoiler adds sporty style. Nissan offers the S+ trim in three exterior paint colors: Deep Ocean Blue Pearl, Gun Metallic, and Black Diamond Pearl.
The top-spec Platinum+ trim stands out with premium exterior enhancements. It features exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels and can be ordered with a contrasting black roof. An LED light bar spans the front fascia of the Platinum+ trim.
Features
Nissan equipped the LEAF S+ with great interior technology. Its state-of-the-art infotainment system includes dual 12.3-inch widescreen displays. To help make highway driving easier, ProPILOT Assist is standard, providing steering help and automatically adjusting your speed. Other standard highlights include wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, proximity keyless entry, and active safety systems.
Choosing the Platinum+ unlocks a much more luxurious cabin. Its most notable upgrade is a dimming panoramic glass roof. Music lovers will enjoy the Bose Personal Plus audio system, which includes unique headrest speakers. Rear air vents and dual-zone automatic temperature control ensure all passengers stay comfortable. Additional features include larger 14.3-inch touchscreens with Google built-in, a wireless phone charger, and TailorFit synthetic leatherette upholstery.
