Overview

  • The Leaf S+ carries a $29,990 MSRP, but outlets cite $31,485–$31,845 with destination, underpinning Nissan’s lowest-price claim by MSRP rather than out-the-door cost.
  • Nissan has not released pricing for the shorter-range Leaf S with the 52 kWh pack, saying it will be announced later.
  • MSRPs for higher trims are set at $34,230 for SV+ and $38,990 for Platinum+, with reports listing $35,725 and $40,485 including destination.
  • The S+, SV+, and Platinum+ use a 75 kWh battery for up to an EPA-estimated 303 miles and roughly 214–215 hp, while the S+ omits a heat pump and battery heater to keep costs down.
  • All U.S. models adopt the NACS port and support vehicle-to-load, and U.S. deliveries are slated for fall 2025.
