There are only two trim levels for the BEV, which is called Electric, and no extra options or packages except for metallic paint.
The IONIQ Electric Premium has a recommended road price of £28,995.00.
The IONIQ Electric Premium SE has a recommended road price of £30,795.00.
Even the lower trim level, Premium, has so much more equipment, in comparison to the Nissan Leaf.
It has, among other things:
- Driver’s Seat Lumbar Support (Electric)
- Smart Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go function
- Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS)
- Rear Parking Sensors with Camera and Guidance System
- Automatic Headlights with Dusk Sensor
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Individual Tyre Pressure Display
- 2 USB ports: Front Row USB Port, and Drivers Armrest USB Port –Charge Only
- Passenger Seat Height Adjustment
- Regenerative Brake Shift Paddles
- Wireless Phone Charging
Then the top trim level, Premium SE, adds, among other things:
- Heated and Ventilated Front Seats
- Driver Power Seat with Integrated Memory System
- Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
- Front Park Sensors
- Window Defogger
Even in it's highest trim, SL, all of these seem to be things the 2016 Nissan Leaf does not have.
So the Ioniq Electric will bring some strong competition to the EV field...
