According to the reviewers at KBB.com, the 2018 Nissan Leaf SV pulls out all the stops with its new looks and tech, increased power and longer range. If you’ve been looking to switch to plug-in performance, this is the preowned platform for you.
When Nissan released the 2018 Leaf, they made extensive changes to its exterior for a more conventional look. It shares design cues from its big sibling, the Murano, with a floating-roof from a split rear C-pillar. The headlights were also narrowed and dropped lower into the fenders for a sleeker appearance that includes LED units in higher-trim models. The powerplant was also re-engineered with a higher-capacity 40-kilowatt-hour battery pack to generate the 110-kW electric motor. As a result, the Leaf makes 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, while offering an extended range of 150 miles.
The automaker bolstered the interior features of the SV trim to include high-tech conveniences, such as a 7.0-inch capacitive touchscreen display. It houses NissanConnect with Navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as NissanConnect Services powered by SiriusXM. Intelligent Cruise Control is also standard on this grade, which is designed to help drivers maintain a safe speed and distance.
