The S trim provides essential tech including an 8-inch touchscreen, while SV and SL grades add premium amenities like leather seats and Bose audio.

Common Problem
TL;DR
• Service EV system errors and connectivity issues are prevalent.
• Quality control issues such as disconnected components have been reported.
• Battery-related problems, especially rapid drain in cold weather.
Service EV System Errors
One of the most significant issues reported with the 2023 Nissan Leaf is the "Service EV system - Unable to start after power off" error. This problem has led to multiple service visits and frustrations for owners. The issue seems to be intermittent, making it challenging to diagnose and resolve permanently. Some users have had success by filing lemon law claims to get a more responsive resolution from Nissan.
Connectivity and Infotainment Issues
Owners have also reported problems with the EV Connect app and the infotainment system. The app fails to connect consistently, and the touch screen becomes unresponsive about 30% of the time. These issues are compounded by dealerships' apparent lack of expertise or training to address them effectively, leading to extended wait times for solutions.
Quality Control Concerns
There have been instances of quality control lapses, such as the rear wiper motor not being connected upon delivery. While this was a minor fix, it highlights potential gaps in the inspection process before vehicles are delivered to customers. Such oversights may be linked to broader industry challenges, including component shortages and increased production pressures.
Battery Performance Issues
The 40kWh battery pack in some Leafs has shown weaknesses, particularly under load or in cold weather. Owners have experienced rapid battery drain, sometimes triggering the Turtle mode, which limits vehicle performance. This issue often stems from weak cells within the battery pack, necessitating partial or complete replacements—a process that can be difficult to get approved by Nissan.
General Reliability and Customer Experiences
While some owners report no issues and praise the reliability of their Leafs, others have faced persistent problems that affect their overall satisfaction. The disparity in experiences suggests variability in either manufacturing consistency or dealership support. For those considering a purchase, it's advisable to research dealership reputations and consider extended test drives to ensure compatibility with personal expectations and needs.
