Compare 2023 Nissan LEAF vs Nissan ARIYA
2023 Nissan LEAF Overview
The Nissan LEAF has been around a long time now. It existed when many automakers still weren’t taking EVs for the North American market seriously. The LEAF hatchback has been one of the most accessible EVs on the market, and it recently got a lot more affordable too. But now, Nissan is expanding its EV lineup and has introduced an all-new crossover called the ARIYA. You may be wondering which is the best choice for you. The team at Empire Lakewood Nissan expects that there are many consumers asking that same question, so in this review, we’ll compare the 2023 Nissan LEAF vs 2023 Nissan ARIYA and point out the differences that we think are going to matter to the average person buying or leasing these vehicles.

The base LEAF features cloth upholstery, automatic climate control, an 8-inch touch screen and a four-speaker audio system. The LEAF SV Plus adds heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Being a higher-end model, the ARIYA includes much of that equipment. It also comes with a 12.3-inch touch screen and zoned climate control and gives you options like genuine leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless charging pad and active noise cancellation.

Trim Levels – 2023 Nissan LEAF dealer
The 2023 Nissan LEAF is available from Empire Lakewood Nissan in two core trim levels. The S is the well-equipped base model, and the SV Plus not only adds amenities and technologies but a bigger power pack—more on that in the Mechanical section. The 2023 Nissan ARIYA, on the other hand, is available in six trim levels: Engage, Venture+, Evolve+, Empower+, Premier and Platinum+.
EPA-Estimated Range
One of the most important factors when comparing the 2023 Nissan LEAF vs 2023 Nissan ARIYA or any other EVs is how much range you realistically need. The LEAF S provides 149 miles and is a great deal if that’s enough for you. The LEAF SV Plus ups that 215 miles. The ARIYA provides at least 205 miles of range, which is similar to the LEAF SV Plus, and some models provides as much as 304 miles.
Charging
Both of these models support Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 charging connections as standard equipment. Using a 240-volt connection, which is what most drivers will use most of the time, both the LEAF and ARIYA can charge to full in approximately 8 hours, so not much difference there.
