S, SV, or SL: Which 2017 Nissan Leaf Trim Is Right for You?

Nov 13, 2017

The Nissan Leaf is the first and last car to consider if you’re looking for an affordable but fun electric car. The question becomes, which of its three trim levels suits you best? Take a look at what’s included with each model below.

S

All models feature a powertrain setup with 107 horsepower and a max travel length of 107 miles. The starting S trim includes heated front seats, a 5-inch central infotainment display with a rearview backup camera and Bluetooth, a USB port, and a 60/40-split folding rear seat. The S also offers an optional, more powerful charger and port.

SV

Step up to the mid-level SV to upgrade the wheels from plain steel to alloy. The infotainment screen is replaced with a more advanced 7-inch alternative with full navigation and the NissanConnect app system. The seats also get imitation-suede instead of cloth. The SV and top-tier SL both include the S model’s optional faster charger and port as well. Both the SV and SL offer a Premium package with a 360-degree camera system and a premium speaker setup.

SL

Finally, we have the top-class Leaf SL, with fog lights, heated rear seats to go with the ones up front, LED headlights, and suave natural leather seat upholstery.

As you can see, the 2017 LEAF SL is less of a jump in features from the SV than the SV is from the S. Consider the S if it’s appropriate for your budget, and consider the SV or SL if these additional features and options look like something you and your passengers would appreciate.
