An icon reimagined: The Nissan LEAF returns with a sleek aerodynamic design, impressive range, and cutting-edge tech

The all-new Nissan LEAF marks a defining next step in the evolution of the iconic car that started it all. Marking a new generation of the pioneering EV, all-new LEAF continues to lead the charge in Nissan’s electrification strategy with a sleek design, significantly extended range, and intuitive technology that is seamlessly integrated for today’s connected driver.

Engineered to tackle key barriers to EV adoption and integrate seamlessly into the wider electric ecosystem, the all-new LEAF delivers a no compromise driving experience. It provides a compelling alternative for internal combustion engine (ICE) buyers, with a substantially increased maximum range (up to 604km), enhanced charging speeds (up to 417km in 30 minutes), and a suite of technologies that makes both driving easier and EV ownership more rewarding.

Since its debut in 2010, the Nissan LEAF has sold close to 700,000 units worldwide, earning its place in history as the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle. Today, Nissan is ushering in a new chapter for this nameplate, re-designed and re-engineered to meet the needs of modern EV customers, while remaining true to its innovative roots.

SLEEK AERODYNAMIC DESIGN FOR A NEW EV ERA

Designed at Nissan’s Global Design Studio in Atsugi, Japan, the all-new LEAF introduces a stylish silhouette that reflects its dynamic character and aerodynamic efficiency. With a drag coefficient of just 0.25, its sleek design optimises airflow to enhance both performance and range. Flush door handles, a flowing roofline, full under floor cover, and sculpted surfaces create a modern profile, while its signature front and rear lighting delivers a distinct, high-tech identity on the road.

Despite its compact exterior, which is ideal for city driving, parking, and tight manoeuvres, the all-new LEAF offers a spacious interior designed to meet the everyday needs of a modern family – whether on the school run, heading to work, or going on vacation.

With a unique trunk arrangement, all-new LEAF will offer 437 litres VDA of cargo space. Access to the boot is made more convenient with the availability of a power liftgate, while selected variants also include roof rails, enabling the installation of accessory crossbars.

From the panoramic dimming glass roof with LEAF detailing, to the striking 3D rear lamps and premium material finishes, every detail of the all-new LEAF is crafted with intent. Inside, drivers will find a spacious, ergonomic interior with clean lines, enhanced visibility, and ambient lighting that elevates the in-cabin experience.

The all-new LEAF is offered in seven expressive exterior colour options, including LEAF’s unique turquoise – Luminous Teal, while the interior trim comes in black or white with purple accents.

Across all grades, wheel designs are optimised for aerodynamic performance and bold styling. Options include 18-inch alloy wheels with 195 tyres on entry grade, 18-inch alloys with wider 215 tyres on mid-grade, and 19-inch alloy wheels with 235/45R19 tyres on the top-grade. The 18-inch alloy design features a subtle reference to the ‘Ni-San’ pattern, echoing the 3D holographic tail lamps.

Go further, charge smarter

The all-new LEAF is engineered for flexibility and confidence – whether in the city or on the highways. Customers can choose between two battery options, both delivering excellent range and real-world usability: Standard 52kWh up to 436km*; Extended 75kWh up to 604km*. (*pending final homologation)

With a DC fast-charging capability of up to 150kW, all-new LEAF can recover up to 417km* in just 30 minutes (*pending homologation). On the highway, it delivers more than 330km of range at 130km/h and thanks to the rapid DC charging, journeys over 800km can be completed with minimal time difference to ICE vehicles. This impressive range, combined with the spacious interior, makes it both a practical and comfortable choice as the main household car, capable of everything from daily commutes to long-distance travel.

The all-new LEAF enables external device charging directly from the car, powering a variety of small to medium sized devices – such as kettles, portable lights, or electric grills – when camping or exploring the great outdoors.

Looking ahead, the all-new LEAF is Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) compatible, such that in the future it will be able to send stored energy back to the power grid. This function will help customers reduce energy costs while supporting a more stable and sustainable energy system.

CONFIDENT DRIVING THROUGH ADVANCED CONTROL

The all-new LEAF combines intelligent driver assistance with engaging electric performance. Built on the CMF-EV modular platform shared with the Nissan Ariya, it features MacPherson front suspension and adopts a multi-link rear arrangement for a more comfortable ride, enhancing efficiency, balance, and control – whether navigating traffic or cruising long distances.

The car is designed to support the driver with a suite of intuitive features, such as: ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link adapts to curves and changing speed limits for effortless highway driving; e-Pedal Step and adjustable regenerative braking deliver smooth, one-pedal driving in urban settings; 3D 8-point Around View Monitor and real-time road visualisation help manage tight manoeuvres; Invisible Hood View and a Front Wide View for seeing past parked cars, buildings or other obstacles are also available; Standard safety includes Intelligent Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Driver Monitor System.

SEAMLESS TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

The all-new LEAF is designed to support the driver with an available suite of intuitive features:

  • Google built-in offers access to Maps, Assistant, and Play Store directly on the car’s twin 14.3” screens
  • Drivers can control navigation, climate and media hands-free, or sync personal apps and services
  • The Connectivity app (NissanConnect Services app) will allow remote access to battery status, charging, cabin temperature pre-conditioning, journey planning and many other features
  • BOSE Personal Plus premium audio delivers immersive sound, while an integrated driver headrest speaker handles navigation and phone announcements, allowing passengers to continue enjoying uninterrupted music

With regular over-the-air updates and a unified access across infotainment and mobile platforms, the all-new LEAF provides a future-ready tech experience from day one.

Orders will begin this Autumn, with first deliveries set for Spring next year.
