2026 Nissan Leaf SV+

The 2026 LEAF is Nissan's compact electric crossover, now with a taller SUV-style body and a single front-motor layout across the range. It squares off against the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, Hyundai Kona Electric, and Kia Niro EV in the affordable EV crossover segment. The LEAF's instant torque makes city driving lively, and its low center of gravity keeps it stable through corners. The ride is on the firm side, a trade-off for the responsive handling that makes it feel nimble in town. The cabin offers a modern dash with a large touchscreen, and the crossover body adds useful cargo space over earlier LEAFs. Stepping up to the Sv+ from the S+ adds ProPILOT Assist with lane centering and the 14.3-inch dual-screen dashboard, making the daily commute noticeably more relaxed. The 214 horsepower electric motor delivers instant response from a stop, and the Sv+’s 288 miles of range means you can commute all week without plugging in. The Sv+ comes with the HD Around View Monitor and front parking sensors, which make parking this crossover in tight spots much easier.
