If you’ve been waiting for a fresh, exciting reason to go electric, the 2026 LEAF might just be it. Here’s what makes this latest version so remarkable.


The Reveille of the 2026 Nissan LEAF: What’s Changed?

2026 Nissan Leaf exterior

The biggest news? The LEAF has evolved from a compact hatchback into a stunning compact crossover. That shift alone signals a new era—a true reveille for the Nissan LEAF.

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.


Inside: Technology and Comfort Reimagined

The interior reflects Nissan’s “lounge-inspired” vision—where minimalism meets cutting-edge tech.

Highlights Include:

  • Zero Gravity™ seats designed for all-day comfort

  • Dual panoramic screens offering up to 28″ of display space

  • MyNISSAN App for remote control of vehicle functions

  • 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

Whether you’re commuting daily or heading out for a weekend road trip, the new LEAF is built to keep up. It offers two battery configurations: 52 kWh and 75 kWh.

Range and Charging:

  • Up to 488 km of range (U.S. EPA estimate)

  • DC fast charging up to 150 kW

  • Compatible with both CCS and NACS (Tesla-style) ports

You’ll also enjoy one-pedal driving and smooth regenerative braking—ideal for stop-and-go traffic in and around the suburbs.


Safety at the Core of the Reveille

As part of its revival, the 2026 LEAF is equipped with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, offering peace of mind no matter where your day takes you.

Included Features:

  • Automatic emergency braking

  • Blind spot and lane departure warning

  • Rear cross-traffic alert

  • Adaptive cruise with ProPILOT Assist for hands-free traffic flow

It’s designed to think ahead, so you don’t have to.


Built for Suburban Life

The reveille of the 2026 Nissan LEAF isn’t just about design—it’s about lifestyle.

Why It Works for Families:

  • 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.


Trims and Availability

Nissan Canada is expected to offer several trims, including the S, SV, and Platinum.

While exact pricing is still under wraps, full details will be announced closer to Fall 2025. You can expect varying levels of tech and comfort depending on the trim—but all centered around the same powerful EV platform.


More Than a Makeover: A True Rebirth

2026 Nissan Leaf Moonroof

The 2026 LEAF is built on Nissan’s new AmpR-EV platform, co-developed with Renault. This signals a long-term vision for EVs that includes better charging, smarter software, and future-forward updates.
