Specs at a Glance
The 2026 Nissan LEAF has earned high marks as one of the best electric vehicles in its class. Customers praise this electric subcompact crossover for its high-quality interior, fast charging, and affordable pricing. When shopping for a new LEAF, many buyers will compare the S+ and Platinum+ trim levels. Here is an overview of how these two configurations compare.
Performance
Both trims are powered by an efficient single-motor electric system that makes 214 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque. Exceptional off-the-line torque provides this SUV with fast, smooth acceleration. Four distinct driving modes are available: Standard, Eco, Sport, and Personal. If maximum range is what you need, the S+ is the better choice. It features an EPA-estimated range of up to 303 miles. In comparison, the Platinum+ version offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 259 miles on a full charge.
Appearance
The entry-level LEAF S+ features an athletic design. Its aerodynamic lines and flush motorized door handles give it a highly modern appearance. Up front, a bold V-Motion grille and stacked LED headlights help the SUV stand out. A built-in rear spoiler enhances style, while 18-inch steel wheels with aero covers optimize efficiency. Nissan offers this trim in three paint colors: Deep Ocean Blue Pearl, Gun Metallic, and Black Diamond Pearl.
The high-end Platinum+ trim is distinguished by unique visual upgrades. It features exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels and can be ordered with a contrasting black roof. A prominent front LED light bar also highlights the design of the Platinum+.
Features
Nissan loaded the LEAF S+ with desirable modern features. The dashboard is anchored by dual 12.3-inch widescreen displays. To help reduce highway driving stress, standard ProPILOT Assist provides steering support and automatically adjusts your speed. Other highlights include wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, keyless entry, and active safety technologies.
Stepping up to the Platinum+ delivers a highly luxurious cabin. One of its most impressive features is a dimming panoramic glass roof. Music lovers will enjoy the Bose Personal Plus audio system, which includes headrest-mounted speakers. Comfort is further elevated by rear passenger climate vents and dual-zone temperature control. Additional upgrades include larger 14.3-inch screens with Google built-in, wireless charging, and TailorFit synthetic leatherette upholstery.
