The 2026 Nissan LEAF, now in its third generation, continues to cater to the global shift towards electric vehicles. This EV hatchback offers two battery options: a 40 kWh battery with a 149-mile range, and a 62 kWh battery (in the LEAF PLUS) for up to 226 miles of range. This model's electric motor delivers 147 horsepower in the standard LEAF and 214 horsepower in the LEAF PLUS. Whichever battery you choose, the LEAF comes with a single-speed direct drive transmission and is front-wheel drive. Available trims include the S, SV, SL, S PLUS, SV PLUS, and SL PLUS. Nissan's advanced ProPILOT Assist, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking are some key safety features. Inside, an 8" touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility ensures an informed and entertaining ride. The 2026 model year introduces more standard safety tech across all trims.
