Engine Specs, Range and Charging

For sale on our lot in Folsom, the 2026 Nissan LEAF continues to offer two electric powertrain options, both featuring front-wheel drive and a single-speed transmission. The LEAF S is equipped with a 40-kWh battery and a 147-horsepower electric motor producing 236 lb-ft of torque, making it a smart and efficient choice for daily driving. Drivers who want more range and stronger acceleration can step up to the LEAF SV Plus, which features a larger 62-kWh battery and a more powerful 214-horsepower motor with 250 lb-ft of torque for a more energetic driving experience. Charging the 2026 Nissan LEAF is designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Level 1 charging allows you to plug into a standard 120-volt household outlet using the included cable, while Level 2 charging, either at home with a 240-volt setup or at one of tens of thousands of public charging stations nationwide, is ideal for everyday use. When you need a quicker top-up, Level 3 DC fast charging through the CHAdeMO network can recharge the 62-kWh battery to up to 80% in about an hour, helping you get back on the road faster. In terms of range, the 2026 LEAF S offers up to 149 miles on a full charge, while the LEAF SV Plus extends that capability to an estimated 212 miles, giving drivers the flexibility to choose the right balance of efficiency, performance, and driving distance for their needs.

Interior Spotlight

Step inside the 2026 Nissan LEAF and you’ll discover an interior thoughtfully crafted for comfort, flexibility, and modern connectivity. The cabin features durable, eco-friendly bio-PET woven seat fabric that reflects the LEAF’s sustainable mission while still feeling inviting and comfortable. Generous legroom in both rows ensures a relaxed ride for passengers, and when extra space is needed, the rear seats fold down to reveal up to 30 cubic feet of cargo room. Comfort-focused features are found throughout the 2026 LEAF, including available heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, and an available 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat for a personalized driving position. The Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Start adds everyday convenience, while the cabin stays connected through an 8-inch customizable touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and available built-in navigation. Drivers can also take advantage of the NissanConnect EV & Services app, which lets you remotely check charging status, locate nearby charging stations, manage energy use, lock or unlock doors, and pre-condition the cabin temperature, all from your smartphone. Front and rear USB ports keep devices powered, and the configurable digital gauge cluster allows you to prioritize the driving information that matters most. For added peace of mind when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces, the available Intelligent Around View Monitor delivers a clear 360-degree view of your surroundings.

Trim Offerings

Offered for sale in two well-equipped trim levels including the S and the SV Plus, the 2026 Nissan Leaf gives drivers a clear choice between a value-packed, budget-friendly price and enhanced performance. While the SV Plus continues to appeal to those who want maximum range and power, the LEAF S remains an economical entry-point into electric ownership, especially as incentives and EV priorities continue to evolve. Here’s a closer look at what each trim brings to the table. The 2026 Nissan LEAF S delivers all the core EV features most drivers need at an approachable price point.

The LEAF S also comes standard with Nissan’s e-Pedal for intuitive one-pedal driving, along with a full suite of driver-assistance technologies such as automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning. A dual-level portable charging cable for both 120V and 240V outlets is included, making home and on-the-go charging simple. Stepping up to the 2026 Nissan LEAF SV Plus adds noticeable upgrades in both performance and comfort. This trim features a larger 62-kWh battery paired with a more powerful electric motor producing 214 horsepower, delivering extended range and quicker acceleration. Exterior enhancements include 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and fog lights, while the interior gains a power-adjustable driver’s seat with heating, heated front seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a heat-pump climate control system designed to improve cold-weather efficiency. Technology upgrades are also substantial, with built-in navigation, a 360-degree Intelligent Around View Monitor, an upgraded audio system, and NissanConnect EV & Services.
