All-New Nissan LEAF (2026) First Look

The all-new LEAF is the first model to adopt Nissan’s all-new, 3-in-1 electric powertrain, which is 10 percent smaller than the motor used in the outgoing LEAF and offers up to 160 kW (214hp) power and 355 Nm (261 ft-lb) of Torque on selected variants.

Furthermore, improvements in noise and vibration ensure a quieter, more refined cabin. At urban speeds of 50 km/h (~31 mph), the interior of the all-new LEAF is up to 2 decibels quieter than the already hushed second-generation model.

With the compact powertrain, Nissan engineers positioned the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) unit under the hood, rather than behind the instrument panel. The result is a more spacious, open feeling within the cabin.

The all-new LEAF also benefits from a multi-link rear suspension system with a 66 percent increase in lateral stiffness. Combined with the CMF-EV platform and a more rigid body structure, the all-new LEAF delivers enhanced agility and improved ride comfort.

Despite the larger available 19-inch wheels, the all-new LEAF achieves up to 0.1-meter (3.94-inch) improvement in turning radius, enhancing maneuverability in urban environments. This improvement is facilitated by an upgraded rack electronic power steering system, resulting in a minimum turning radius of 5.3 meters.
