The 2024 Nissan Leaf is a comfortable and competent SUV with a lot of space for you and your passengers to stretch out. It’s filled with great technology, has a powerful electric motor, and can be charged easily overnight. There are some differences between its two trims, so let’s take a look.

Trim Levels of the 2024 Nissan Leaf: The S and SV Plus Compared
Power
Each trim has a different battery and motor, so if you’re basing your decision, then it’s simple to choose which is most suitable for you. The S has a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery alongside a 110 kW AC synchronous electric motor, while the SV Plus has a 60 kWh battery and 160 kW motor.
The motor in the S produces 147 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, which is great for everyday driving. The SV Plus’s motor is great for people who enjoy a slightly more powerful ride; it produces 214 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque.
Charging
With the S, the quick charge port is 50 kW, while it’s 100 kW on the SV Plus. The S’s battery charges to 100% in 7.75 hours using a 240 V AC outlet. When plugged into a 50 kW DC port, you’ll get to 80% in 40 minutes. The more powerful battery requires 11 hours to charge using a 240 V AC outlet and 45 minutes to get to 80% via a 100 kW DC outlet.
The charging times for both batteries are fantastic—via an AC outlet, both can be charged from evening until morning and be ready to go. With a DC outlet, you can get the batteries powered up while you’re out running errands.
Comfort and Convenience
When it comes to comfort and convenience, the trims share a lot of the same features. They both have automatic temperature control, but only the SV Plus has a hybrid heater system. Both interiors have useful features such as a 12-volt DC power outlet, two cupholders, and four bottle holders.
The SV Plus is the trim to choose if you value luxuries such as heated seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. However, you’ll be very comfortable in both vehicles, as they both have highly adjustable cloth seats. The S trim has a 6-way manually adjustable driver seat, while the SV Plus has a 8-way power adjustable seat for the driver.
Technology
When it comes to safety technology, both trims share the same features. It’s the infotainment system where they differ. While they both have a 7-inch information display in the gauge cluster and an 8-inch center console, only the SV Plus has navigation and SiriusXM, which are great for people who take long trips often. Both trims have voice recognition and wireless smartphone connectivity, so you’re not missing out on the essential features with either trim.
