Nissan has announced pricing for the refreshed 2023 Leaf in the United States and the starting MSRP is now $27,800, $400 higher than the equivalent 2022 model.
The price is before subsidies and a $1,095 destination and handling fee, which means buyers eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 can bring the price down to around $21,400. The updated pricing makes the 2023 Leaf about $1,200 more expensive than its main competitor, the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV, which starts at $26,595 before subsidies and destination charge.
Besides the slight increase in pricing, Nissan has also streamlined the 2023 Leaf lineup to offer just the two most popular models, S and SV Plus. The 2023 Nissan Leaf S features a 40-kWh battery enabling an estimated EPA range of 149 miles (240 kilometers) and a 110-kW (147-horsepower) front-mounted electric motor.
Available from $35,800, the 2023 Leaf SV Plus features the larger 60-kWh pack offering a 212-mile (341-kilometer) estimated EPA range and a more powerful 160-kW (214-horsepower) motor. Both Leaf models offer significantly lower range than the standard Bolt EV's 259 miles (416 kilometers).
