Nissan in April introduced a new facelift for 2023 and now the company has announced the model will start at $27,800. Just like most other electric vehicle manufacturers that are raising prices, the 2023 Leaf is $400 more expensive than its predecessor.
A fresh look that is immediately visible is the shape of the front grille, curved bumpers and headlights that are sweetened with black sweeps on the inside. The Nissan badge also has a shimmer as a new design identity. 2023 Leaf comes in two trims namely Leaf S and Leaf SV Plus.
Leaf S uses a lithium-ion battery with a power of 40 kWh and a 110 kW electric motor, capable of producing 147 hp and 320 Nm of torque equivalent. While the Leaf SV Plus uses a 160 kWh lithium-ion battery and a 160 kW electric motor, capable of serving 214 hp and 339 Nm of torque.
