Redesigned, Recharged, Reborn
Nissan is back with the third-generation LEAF, and it’s more than just a refresh. With a new starting price of $29,990, the 2026 LEAF offers up to 303 miles of range, a fresh crossover body, and a thoroughly modern EV experience. This isn’t the humble compact that defined early electric mobility — it’s now a bold, aerodynamic SUV-styled contender.
The new shape helps reduce drag to just 0.26, improving efficiency and stability. It also looks cleaner, sharper, and more confident, with details like flush door handles, an illuminated front badge, and dramatic lighting.
Fast Charging Meets Everyday Convenience
Charging is no longer a hassle. The LEAF supports up to 150 kW DC fast charging, letting you recover 10 to 80 percent of battery power in just 35 minutes. With dual ports — one for standard Level 2 and another for the Tesla-friendly NACS system — drivers get maximum flexibility and access to more than 20,000 Superchargers across the U.S.
Thanks to Plug & Charge functionality, the car automatically starts charging and bills your account as soon as it’s plugged in — no apps, no cards, no delays.
Built for Real-World Driving, Even in Winter
Cold weather used to kill EV performance. Not anymore. The 2026 LEAF features a liquid-cooled battery, advanced thermal management, a heat pump, and an optional battery heater. Together, these upgrades keep charging and range consistent, even when the temperature drops.
Inside: Smarter, Roomier, More Connected
The cabin brings Google built-in on dual 14.3-inch screens (on higher trims), along with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and class-leading digital visibility. There’s even a dimming panoramic roof and customizable ambient lighting.
Safety Comes Standard
All trims include Nissan’s full suite of driver assistance features, including ProPILOT Assist, blind spot intervention, and intelligent around-view monitoring.
Bottom line: The LEAF has grown up — and it might be the most practical, affordable EV on the road today.
