INFO
An available dimming panoramic roof – a segment first4 – can be varied from transparent to near-totally opaque at the press of a button. The reversible process uses a multi-layer glass element that helps block light and heat when an electrical current is applied. Not only impressive to watch in action, this advanced panoramic roof increases headroom and improves aerodynamics compared to a traditional moonroof.
Designed as a crossover, LEAF makes it easy to step in and out. The spacious cargo area offers up to 55.5 cubic feet of space behind the second-row seats. An available Divide-N-Hide® organizer helps secure additional cargo below the trunk floor, or can be removed for additional cargo room.
The effortless EV experience
Building on its long history of offering accessible EV mobility to all, Nissan developed the all-new 2026 LEAF to deliver enhanced driving range and to simplify charging. LEAF uses a new 75-kWh, liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack paired with a 214-horsepower electric motor. LEAF can charge at up to 150 kW, speeding up road trips by reducing the amount of time needed to stop at public chargers. Its dual charging ports give owners convenience and flexibility in how and where they recharge.
A familiar J1772 charge port on the driver’s-side fender allows for plugging in at home and many Level 2 public chargers, while the NACS fast charge port on the passenger-side fender unlocks the faster speeds of over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers.
Public charging is made simpler thanks to the NISSAN Energy Charge Network5, accessed through the enhanced MyNISSAN app, it allows drivers to find charging stations, see real-time charger availability and pay for charging – all in one seamless experience. The NISSAN ENERGY Charge Network is one of the largest public charging networks with more than 100,000 in-network chargers in the U.S.
LEAF is the first Nissan vehicle with Plug & Charge6. When activated, drivers can simply plug LEAF into a compatible public charger and the charging session will begin – no need to open an app or swipe a payment card.
Simplified charging in winter
The 2026 Nissan LEAF offers consistent charging performance even in cold weather thanks to its enhanced battery thermal management system. The battery pack is sealed by a resin cover beneath the vehicle, helping keep cold air, snow and slush away from it during winter driving. LEAF also now captures wasted heat from the drive motor and the on-board charger, and re-purposes that heat to help warm the battery to its ideal temperature range. By maintaining an ideal battery temperature during cold weather, LEAF offers improved energy efficiency that can contribute to greater driving range, as well as more predictable charging performance.
To further optimize energy usage during cold conditions, LEAF has a standard, energy-efficient heat pump to help warm the cabin. An available battery heater further contributes to winter charging performance; the driver can engage the heater to warm the battery before charging in cold weather. Simply connected
LEAF brings familiar apps and intuitive connectivity right to the vehicle dashboard with available Google built-in1 – including Google Maps, Google Assistant and the Play Store – with dual 14.3-inch screens in SV+ and PLATINUM+ grades.
The integrated Google Maps interface makes planning long trips effortless because the Maps app identifies and recommends charging stops based on each route. It also predicts the vehicle’s remaining state of charge at the destination, and allows the driver to adjust the level of charge they would like to arrive with.
For more powerful and immersive music, PLATINUM+ features a class-exclusive Bose® Personal Plus® sound system7 with 10 speakers, including front headrest speakers that allow the driver to focus phone calls or navigation directions only to the front seat.
LEAF S+ features dual 12.3-inch screens and standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™.
All LEAF grades make it simple to keep devices charged. Two front USB Type C ports are standard, while SV+ and PLATINUM+ add two charge-only rear USB Type C ports and a wireless phone charger.

- Great review - quick and to the point highlights of features and experience, narration at a perfect pace, well-edited. I felt engaged the whole time watching this and never like it was getting drawn out unnecessarily, unlike other car reviews. Thank you for this!- My fathers Qashqai has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa and Google Build in. Last one is very neat! So you can have all.
- Unfortunately, it's got those stupid electric pop out door handles that are going to go wrong, and I will never buy a car with that style of door handle. Everything else about the car is ruined by those stupid door handles.
