    XE = Visia
    SV = Accent
    SVE = Tekna

    There may be minor spec differences between the above, there's more knowledgeable folk here that can explain what.

    and Flex is battery leasing option, so these are not an option for exporting from UK

    UK also has an Acenta+ trim which is an Acenta with the most popular options (6.6kW charger, cold pack) and a special set of alloys. But that's only from early 2015 forward....

    Axe2grind's list is correct otherwise. There should be no spec differences beyond the UK leafs all including a granny cable and not including a Type 2 to Type 1 cable for public charging like the Irish Leafs do.
