LOS ANGELES: The 2026 Nissan Leaf is set to hit United States dealerships this fall, with prices starting from US$29,990 (RM126,708) for the S+ grade - the lowest for any new EV currently on sale in the USA.
The third-generation Leaf is said to offer a sleek and streamlined design, an effortless charging experience, improved battery range, and even greater value for money.
It features a longer driving range of up to 303 miles (488km) per charge, and built-in North American Charging Standard (NACS) compatibility with Plug & Charge provides access to more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers for convenient public charging.
Its modern design includes clean, minimalist surfacing and details like motorized flush door handles, a Nissan-first for a production car; a sleek, curving roofline, featuring a katana blade element inspired by the Z sports car; and a segment-first dimming panoramic roof, which can transition between opaque and transparent at the touch of a button.
The airy, spacious cabin features dual displays; an open, flat floor beneath the dashboard; and redesigned seats that enhance second-row knee room.
Available Google built-in, including Google Maps, streamlines navigation with Intelligent Route Planner, and the use of other familiar apps.
New-to-Leaf camera tech includes standard, class-exclusive Intelligent Around View Monitor, standard Invisible Hood View and standard Front Wide View.
