A Fresh New Look
With sculpted lines, 3D holographic taillights, and flush motorized door handles, the 2026 LEAF is now as stylish as it is smart. It rides on 19-inch alloy wheels and delivers both an upscale and aerodynamic feel.
Its crossover design also offers more practicality for everyday use—making it perfect for school drop-offs, Costco runs, and family getaways.

Bose® Premium Audio for an immersive commute
It’s a smart space that adapts to your life and keeps everything just a touch away.
Performance That Makes Every Drive Count

Range and Charging:
Up to 488 km of range (U.S. EPA estimate)
DC fast charging up to 150 kW

Spacious 5-seat layout and versatile cargo area
Quiet, comfortable cabin for longer drives
Lower maintenance thanks to EV simplicity
From morning drop-offs to weekend adventures, the new LEAF fits the rhythm of suburban life perfectly.
