Battery size: 24kWh or 30kWh (€3k extra I think in Ireland)
Charger: 3.3kW or 6.6kW(€900 optional extra in Ireland)

Models: XE, SV and SVE (UK equivalents... Visia, Acenta, Tekna)

Cold pack adds heated seats and heated steering wheel on SV. They are standard on the SVE.


The most popular choice is SV. Most people would recommend to stay away from XE.
SVE is only required if you want leather really. The SVE also has the larger 17" alloys which looks nicer but the tyres tend to be a good bit more expensive. It also has 360deg camera.

There were some other "packs" like Chrome pack(Chrome mirror,lights sills) and Protection pack (mudguards, mats etc)

Used SVE may only be €1-2k more in which case, having owned both SV and SVE leafs, I'd say it's well worth going for.

The equivalent spec to SVE in the UK is "Tekna"

I'd second that. SVE / Tekna all the way (at the right price of course!)

I own both. I have no real preference, other than the sve has the 360 reverse cameras which are handy

I like my toys. I like my leather and led lights etc
I wouldn’t buy anything less than a Tekna / SVE personally.

Led can be added after the fact. My acenta had them done when I bought it, save for the DRLs which I had done.

Acenta+ is a fair compromise. Has the cold pack. It’s only really missing the 360 cams, leather and 17” rims.

The cam, as I said is handy, but the acenta reverse cam is fine.

The leather is personal choice....im good either way unless the cloth seats are horrendous ( cue the ioniq ).

The rims i really like on the tekna, but rubber is much more expensive compared to the 16s on the acenta.

How much more expensive for shoes Goz I haven’t had to buy any yet. Any recommendations of value for the 17s

Dunlop Blue Response for example

R16= €70
R17= €119

Nearly €200 in the difference for a full set.

Another vote for the SVE/Tekna.

Had SV, moved to SVE - won’t go back - so much better...

Test drove the SV spec, was in the process of buying when my SVE came up with 1200km. Bought it in a flash. heated rear/front leather seats and steering wheel and that 360 camera is the job.

Forgot to mention that I first test drove an XE and was going for it until I tried the SV. I only went around the corner with the car and the decision to go for SV was made. Back then SVE was not even an option due to payments, so stayed with SV until we got our first SVE... the merrier, the better
