Nissan Unveils 2026 Leaf as Crossover SUV with Tesla-Compatible Charging

The redesigned Leaf marks a shift to a crossover design with significant upgrades, but key specifications remain undisclosed ahead of a full reveal in June.

The 2026 Nissan Leaf has been unveiled as a crossover SUV, departing from its iconic hatchback design to align with market trends.
Key upgrades include a Tesla-style NACS charging port, aerodynamic improvements achieving a 0.26 drag coefficient, and new interior features.
Nissan has not yet disclosed critical details such as pricing, battery specifications, or power output, with more information expected in June 2025.
The new Leaf is built on the CMF-EV platform, shared with the Nissan Ariya, and is expected to feature a 3-in-1 EV powertrain system.
As part of Nissan's strategy to revitalize its EV lineup, the Leaf will launch later this year as one of ten new or refreshed models in the U.S. and Canada.
