NEW YORK – For more than a decade, Nissan LEAF has represented the company's commitment to bringing all-electric mobility to the masses. Nissan continues that focus with the 2023 LEAF, with a refreshed exterior design, new aluminum-alloy wheels and a revised lineup to deliver maximum value for EV customers. The updated all-electric LEAF makes its debut at the 2022 New York International Auto Show prior to its summer on-sale date.

The 2023 LEAF will be available in three grade levels, LEAF SV, LEAF SV PLUS and LEAF SL PLUS. The tailored model lineup reflects the most customer-requested features and technologies offered at the best value.

The updates to the 2023 LEAF include an enhanced front end appearance, with a refreshed front grille, bumper molding and headlight that feature a new black inner finisher. The Nissan badge is now illuminated and has been updated to the brand's new design identity.

In addition, the shapes of the tire deflectors at all four corners, rear under diffuser and rear spoiler have all been modified for better aerodynamics.

The 2023 LEAF also comes standard with an aggressive new 5-spoke 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheel.

Inside, changes for the 2023 model year include the new Nissan badge on the steering wheel and a new start-up video on the instrument panel screen. Black cloth is standard on SV and SV PLUS trims, with gloss black finishers. SL PLUS gets an upgrade to leather trim.

The 2023 LEAF SV is equipped with a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery and 110-kW electric motor that delivers 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. The 2023 Nissan LEAF SV PLUS and SL PLUS feature a larger-capacity 60-kWh lithium-ion battery and a powerful 160-kW electric motor that produces 214 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. NRCan range estimates for three models will be available closer to launch, however range is expected to be similar to 2022 models.¹

Standard on LEAF SV is ProPILOT Assist², a hands-on driver assist system that combines Nissan's Intelligent Cruise Control and steering assist technologies. ProPILOT Assist also includes a stop and hold function that can bring the vehicle to a full stop, hold in place and can bring the vehicle back up to speed when traffic starts moving again.

Every 2023 Nissan LEAF is offered with a limited lithium-ion battery warranty³ covering defects in materials or workmanship for eight years or 160,000 kilometres, whichever comes first, for the battery pack. Nissan also provides a limited warranty against battery capacity loss below nine bars of capacity as shown on the vehicle's battery capacity level gauge for the first eight years or 160,000 kilometres for all models.
