2026 Nissan LEAF

The 2026 Nissan LEAF has been completely re-engineered, transforming this electric pioneer into a sleek, capable crossover built for the modern era. As your trusted EV authority here at Jeffrey Nissan, serving drivers across the Detroit metro area, including Sterling Heights, Warren, and Troy, we know you demand range, versatility, and efficiency. The LEAF delivers, offering a robust driving range of up to 303 miles on select trims, making it a powerful, practical, and highly responsible choice for the daily commute and weekend travel throughout Michigan.

Interior

Step inside the 2026 LEAF, and you'll find a dramatically redesigned, airy, and spacious cabin. Built on a dedicated EV platform for the first time, the interior features a streamlined dashboard and an open, flat floor, significantly enhancing space. Technology is delivered via dual displays—up to 14.3 inches on higher trims—creating a striking digital command center with available Google built-in. Premium seating materials and available features like a smart dimming panoramic roof offer a clean, high-end atmosphere. The interior is further distinguished by Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, providing up to 1,500 watts of portable power to run appliances or tools, turning your LEAF into a powerful, rolling power bank.

Exterior

The 2026 LEAF abandons its traditional hatchback form for a sleek, muscular crossover profile, achieving a substantially decreased drag coefficient that contributes directly to its impressive efficiency. Its super-clean exterior includes flush front door handles and a fastback roofline, giving it a modern, aggressive look. With bold new front and rear lighting signatures, the LEAF projects a confident, modern stance that is perfectly suited to turn heads whether parked in downtown Detroit or cruising I-696. The all-new design confirms this vehicle is built for range and ready for action.

Performance

The 2026 LEAF is powered by a front-wheel-drive electric motor that delivers up to 214 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque on S+ trims and above. This instant, smooth acceleration is perfect for easily merging into highway traffic near Warren. The new model offers a 75 kWh battery delivering an impressive estimated range of up to 303 miles on the S+ trim. Crucially, the LEAF now features dual charging ports, including the NACS fast charge port for seamless access to over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers, charging from 10% to 80% in approximately 35 minutes, minimizing road trip downtime.

Safety Features

Safety is paramount, and the 2026 LEAF is equipped with a robust collection of standard and available driver-assist systems. Standard on all trims is Nissan Safety Shield® 360, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. The vehicle is also equipped with standard features like Intelligent Lane Intervention. A high-strength structure and a new Secondary Collision Mitigation Braking system, which automatically applies the brakes after airbag deployment, provide a continuous layer of security. The LEAF’s liquid-cooled battery thermal management system also ensures consistent charging performance, even in cold weather.
