Hello everyone,
as someone who is interested in a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV because of the longer range (107 mile vs. 85 mile) over the 2015 SV, I also noticed these two shortcomings of the 2016 SV:
- no fog lights (available as part of the "LED Headlights + Quick Charge Port" package on 2015 SV)
- no automatic on/off headlights (available as part of the "LED Headlights + Quick Charge Port" package on 2015 SV)
Is there any way to still get these things, like as a dealer-installed option, aftermarket install or to install it oneself?
Back then, I read the threads about how people on the 2013 Nissan Leaf S, that did not have the backup camera, changed their car themselves to get the rear view camera.
I think I also saw threads about changing the fog lights.
Still, in case it's known to people here in the forum that those things definitely won't be able to be done, then that would also be helpful to know.
And here is a 2015/2016 SV comparison list I made that might be helpful to others as well.
2016 SV advantages:
2016: standard quick charge port - 2015: only part of "LED Headlights + Quick Charge Port" package
2016: 107 mile EPA range - 2015: 84 mile EPA range
2016: Li-ion battery pack warranty 8 years or 100,000 miles against excessive capacity loss - 2015: 5 years or 60,000 miles
2016: Bio Suede PET Material - 2015: Partially recycled cloth seat fabric
2016: HD Radio - 2015: no HD Radio
2016 SV disadvantages (besides no fog lights & no automatic on/off headlights on 2016 SV):
2015: Rear heated seats - 2016: no rear heated seats
2015: Pandora link for iPhone - 2016 no Pandora link for iPhone
2015: LED Headlights available with "LED Headlights + Quick Charge Port" package - 2016: not available
2015: EPA Estimated Fuel Economy City 126 MPGe - 2016: City 124 MPGe
2015: EPA Estimated Fuel Economy Combined 114 MPGe - 2016: City 112 MPGe
2015: SV $32,100 + "LED + Quick Charge" Package $1,630 = $33,730 total - 2016: SV $34,200 (so $470 more expensive)
