If you're searching for a 2020 Nissan LEAF SL Plus for sale in Novato, CA, this hatchback deserves a serious look. Active Auto Sales in Novato, in the heart of Marin County, is offering this fully electric commuter with over 100,000 miles of real-world EV experience already behind it — and a trim level that represents the best Nissan put into the LEAF lineup. Whether you're a seasoned EV driver or making your first switch from gas, this is a compelling option at the right price point.

About This 2020 Nissan LEAF SL Plus

This 2020 Nissan LEAF SL Plus hatchback carries 104,214 miles, which tells you something important: this car has been driven and proven. For a battery-electric vehicle, high mileage raises natural questions, but the LEAF's longevity on Bay Area roads is well-documented. The SL Plus is the top trim in the Plus lineup, meaning this vehicle came loaded from the factory — not a base EV with stripped-down features. It's a 4-door hatchback with a practical, versatile cabin designed for daily driving, weekend errands, and everything in between. Stock #7909 is available now at Active Auto Sales in Novato.

2020 Nissan LEAF Performance and Engine

Electric Motor and Drivetrain

The 2020 LEAF SL Plus is powered by Nissan's larger 62 kWh battery pack paired with a more powerful AC electric motor producing 214 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque — a significant step up from the standard LEAF's 40 kWh pack. That torque is available instantly, giving the LEAF Plus a confident, responsive feel off the line that surprises many first-time EV drivers. Power goes to the front wheels through a single-speed fixed gear transmission, which means no shifting, no clutch, and a smooth, linear driving experience at every speed.

The EPA-estimated range on the Plus is around 212 miles on a full charge, making it genuinely capable for longer Bay Area commutes — not just short hops. CHAdeMO DC fast charging support on this trim means you can add meaningful range in under an hour at a public fast charger.

Nissan LEAF Features and Interior

What the SL Plus Trim Includes

The SL Plus sits at the top of the LEAF hierarchy and reflects that in its feature content. Expect Nissan's ProPilot Assist — a hands-on semi-autonomous driving system that combines adaptive cruise control with lane centering, especially useful on Marin County's busy 101 corridor. The interior features heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, leather-appointed seating surfaces, and a Bose premium audio system. The 8-inch touchscreen runs NissanConnect with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in navigation.

The hatchback body style gives you a practical rear cargo area, fold-flat rear seats for hauling larger loads, and a comfortable driving position. E-Pedal technology allows near-complete one-pedal driving through regenerative braking — something LEAF owners quickly come to love for both its convenience and its efficiency.

Nissan LEAF Reliability and Ownership

What to Know About High-Mileage EV Ownership

The Nissan LEAF has one of the longest track records of any mass-market electric vehicle, with many examples surpassing 100,000 miles in active use. The LEAF Plus 62 kWh battery was designed with improvements over earlier generations and has shown solid durability in real-world use across varied climates. California's mild coastal climate — particularly in the Novato and Marin County area — is among the most battery-friendly environments in the country, with temperatures rarely reaching extremes that accelerate degradation.

Ownership costs are genuinely low: no oil changes, no transmission fluid, no spark plugs, and significantly reduced brake wear thanks to regenerative braking. The main long-term consideration on any high-mileage LEAF is battery state of health, so buyers should ask about a battery health check and review any available service history. EVs with over 100,000 miles can still hold strong range figures depending on how they were charged and cared for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2020 Nissan LEAF SL Plus a good buy?

Yes — especially for buyers in the Bay Area. The SL Plus is the top trim, packed with tech and comfort features, and the 62 kWh battery offers real-world range well above 150 miles in normal driving conditions. It's a proven platform with a strong support network and very low running costs.
 

How many miles is too many for a used Nissan LEAF?

There's no hard cutoff, but 100,000+ miles on a LEAF warrants a battery health check.

Many high-mileage LEAFs retain 80–90% of original battery capacity with proper charging habits.
 

What does the LEAF SL Plus trim include?

The SL Plus includes ProPilot Assist, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, leather-appointed seats, Bose audio, 8-inch NissanConnect touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in navigation, and CHAdeMO DC fast charging capability — the full package.
 

What is the range of a 2020 Nissan LEAF Plus?

The 2020 LEAF SL Plus is EPA-rated at approximately 212 miles per charge with the 62 kWh battery. Real-world range varies with driving style, climate, and battery health, but well-maintained examples in mild California weather typically see strong range figures even at higher mileage.
