2023 Nissan Leaf

The 2023 Leaf offers two terrific trims: S and SV Plus. The S model blends elegant lines and muscular sculpting, giving it a graceful and assertive stance. This exquisite exterior is enhanced by a carefully crafted grille emblazoned with an illuminated emblem and flanked by halogen headlights. You'll also find steel wheels measuring 16 inches and featuring distinctive covers. The SV Plus announces its arrival with LED headlights and fog lamps and lets you take advantage of heated sideview mirrors. This model also features a front chin spoiler and sits atop aluminum alloy wheels measuring 17 inches. Scarlet Ember, Deep Blue, and Brilliant Silver are just a few of your exterior color options.

The 2023 Leaf is just as mighty as it is stylish and delivers incredible efficiency. The S gets a 110-kW electric motor that generates 147 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque and a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery that enables a 149-mile driving range. With the SV Plus, you can take advantage of a 160-kW electric motor capable of producing 214 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. You'll also enjoy a 212-mile driving range thanks to the SV Plus's 60-kWh lithium-ion battery. No matter what Leaf model you choose, you can use a 120-volt outlet, a 240-volt Level 2 charger, or a 480-volt quick-charging station to charge the battery.

With its impressive performance dynamics, the 2023 Leaf treats you to a thrilling driving experience each time you take the wheel. The moment your foot hits the Leaf's accelerator, it unleashes its full power, enabling instant, incredibly smooth acceleration. Both batteries in the Leaf lineup are floor-mounted, giving the Leaf a low center of gravity that reduces body roll and gives you maximum stability when taking tight corners. Regenerative braking sends excess braking energy back to the battery, ensuring that it keeps its charge while on the road.

The 2023 Leaf features seating for five, a maximum cargo space measuring 30 cubic feet, and premium cloth seating surfaces that are comfy yet durable. Inside the S, you'll find a six-way driver's seat with manual adjustability, while the SV Plus has a power-adjustable eight-way driver's seat with lumbar support. With the SV Plus, you can also take advantage of front seats with heating, a steering wheel with heating, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Both Leaf models are compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can stream music, get traffic updates, and make hands-free phone calls.

While the 2023 Nissan Leaf is fun to drive, it's also serious about safety. Its many safety features include an automatic emergency braking system, a rear cross-traffic monitor, and a blind-spot monitor.
