Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today unveiled the all-new 2026 LEAF. Completely reimagined with clean, dynamic body lines, the third-generation LEAF combines a sleek profile with an SUV-like stance. Inside, a refined, minimalist cabin is optimized for roominess, comfort and wellbeing to accommodate all of life’s journeys.

With over 15 years of proven dependability and the customer insights of almost 700,000 global sales, the all-new LEAF builds on the model’s DNA of reliable, affordable and attractive EV ownership, delivering strong value for the mass-market.

Beyond appealing to EV customers, the all-new LEAF is a compelling option for internal combustion engine buyers. With a substantially increased driving range, faster charging speeds and an array of drive-enhancing technologies, it makes EV ownership easier and more enjoyable.

The all-new LEAF will reach U.S. Nissan dealerships in the Fall, with other markets to follow.

  • New 3-in-1 powertrain with compact integrated motor, inverter and reducer
