What's new for 2020?

Agree, that’s a legal thing. Toyota has had that in cars for years everywhere but North America.

Same in Canada.

Looks like some dealers got the 2020 models in already. There are around 200-300 available in the US now according to cars.com and cargurus.com.

I wonder if dealers can upgrade the 2018-2019 USB panel to the new 2020 one with 2 ports?

[DougWantsALeaf]

I have to say, I am a bit jealous that the 2020 SV has the around view.

Now that I have leather in my 2019 SV Plus, I think that's the only feature I would have liked.

I really like the Blue colored Leaf.

The availability of Around View on the 2020 SV means that I will likely turn in my 2018 SL - unless they offer a big residual discount AND I find someone with cloth seats who wants to swap.

I did the “Factory Match” aftermarket leather. It doesn’t have the suede insert, but it does have the Blue stitching. The Leather itself feels a bit thicker, but that might be my perception.

Without a doubt the scarlet ember and the blue are our favourite current leaf colours. However the culis Red was also nice. My wife has a red model 3 Tesla on order and it would have been nice to have something like the Culis red available. When it comes time to replace my Leaf with a new Leaf I’ll probably get the scarlet ember.

[LeftieBiker]

To me the Scarlet Ember looks like the Coulis (sp?) Red in low light. It's brighter in brighter light, though, which I also like.

This will be the final nail in the coffin for CHAdeMO in the US. In 2019, CCS is already outselling CHAdeMO ~38,000 units vs ~15,000 units. The 2021 model year adds the Ford Mach-E, Kia Soul EV, Mini Cooper EV, Mercedes EQC, Polestar 2, and Volvo XC40 to the CCS side while Leaf sales will almost certainly continue to contract. Why would any charging network bother to add more CHAdeMO at this point?

Mercedes EQC and gen 2 Soul EV aren't coming to the US now:

Gen 1 Soul EV had CHAdeMO.

Kia eNiro
Polestar 2
