How to tell Leaf S from Leaf SV 2013 / Leafspy?

[vanart]

I am going to be looking at 2013 Leaf SV

How can i tell visually that it is really an SV and not S ( the base model)?

The car was imported into Canada , it has 70 000 kilometers and 11 bars left on the battery...

I do not have the blue tooth capable device to inspect the battery. I ordered one online It'll be here in couple of weeks.
Perhaps anyone in the greater Vancouver area can borrow for a fee for a day!?

Thank you for any info

Your eyes will suffice. The SV has a larger view screen with navigation. It should also have alloy wheels. If it has Premium Package it will have four little cameras, one in the Nissan emblem on the nose, one in each side mirror underneath, and one in the rear in the usual spot, as well as a Bose stereo.

I don't think there's a way to from Leaf Spy anyway.

S has no nav system and a stereo and HVAC system w/knobs along w/dull dark plastics around the HVAC/stereo stack and around the shifter.

All of Leftie's comments so far are correct.

'13 SV and SL HVAC stack and around the shifter have shiny black plastic and no knobs for the stereo and HVAC controls. See below.

Also, '13 SV (only) is available in either black interior cloth or a light tan/beige cloth interior. '13 S is only available in black cloth. '13 SL is only available in black leather.

Ha. Sorry. Didn't mean to offend. Just meant to confirm your comments and leave an opening in the event you said something incorrect later in this this thread.

Thank you for all the great info,

If I try to answer my own question can I conclude that the dashboard in SV looks like this:

and S will be like that:

Please correct me if I am mistaken!!!!

Yes. Correct.

However, the buttons on your SV pic aren't what a '13 SV has. That looks like that's from an '11 or '12 SV/SL.

See http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/presskits/us-2013-nissan-leaf-press-kit/photos/2013-nissan-leaf-88 (download larger versions on the right) for the correct buttons. Biggest addition is the dedicated heater on/off button.

If the car has Premium Package there will also be a "Camera" button on the bottom left of the screen, next to the brightness adjust button.
