Initially the $31,485 Leaf S+ will be the entry trim level, but a lower-range model is coming that will cost even less.

Nissan stunned us all when it released the specs for its refreshed Leaf: new crossover body; dual charging ports; and over 300 miles of range. Today, the Japanese released the starting price for the Leaf, and lo and behold, it’s still a hell of a bargain. When it reaches dealerships this fall, the 2026 Leaf S Plus will start at $29,990 — or $31,485 when you factor in the $1,495 destination charge. Still, Nissan describes as “the lowest starting MSRP for any new EV currently on sale in the US.” And the company isn’t relying on any gimmickry like federal incentives (because there won’t be any, thanks to President Trump) or fuel savings. Instead, the price is a reflection of Nissan’s commitment to “making EV mobility accessible to all.” Nissan also said that the SV Plus trim, with a bigger battery and 18-inch alloy wheels, will start at

The new 2026 Nissan LEAF will arrive at US dealerships any day now. And it’s even cheaper than the OG model launched in 2011.

Nissan is betting big on solid-state batteries to help power up a comeback.

Nissan just confirmed its first EV with solid-state batteries is on track, but it may trail Toyota and Volkswagen to market. more…

While the third-generation Leaf has a more crossover-like look, it's smaller in length than the outgoing model.

The new Leaf will be powered by batteries also manufactured in Sunderland.

With over 300 miles of range and an affordable price target, the new Leaf could be a much-needed reset for Nissan.

It has two charging ports, but you may still need an adapter anyway. Here's why.

Active thermal battery management and a NACS fast-charging port are new features.

Nissan revealed new details about the upcoming 2026 Leaf, which will return as a crossover SUV with up to 303 miles of estimated range, dual charge ports, and Google’s software built-in. The reborn Leaf will reach dealerships in the US starting this fall at a yet-to-be-announced price. The first-gen Leaf was somewhat charming — in a ugly kind of way. The second gen was not much better, with bland styling and an outdated CHAdeMO charging port that practically screamed “obsolete.” The 2026 Leaf is a significant improvement over previous generations in almost every way. Gone is the frumpy hatchback, replaced by a sleek, stylish crossover with improved aerodynamics (0.26 drag coefficient, down from 0.29) and an estimated range between 259 and 303 miles (up dramatically over the current maximum range of 212 miles).

The redesigned Nissan Leaf has up to 303 miles of range, faster charging, a more characterful design and a much nicer interior.

After years of development and months of teasers, Nissan has officially launched a reimagined version of the LEAF as a 2026 model year crossover, set to hit dealerships later this year. We will always love the original LEAF, but this new model is sharp and includes some well overdue upgrades, including a NACS port and Plug & Charge capabilities. more…

Is the new EV in this picture? | Image: Mitsubishi Mitsubishi will launch a new electric vehicle in North America next summer that’s based on Nissan’s upcoming third-generation Leaf. The new EV, which will be Mitsubishi’s second-ever in the US after the pioneering i-MiEV, is part of the company’s “Momentum 2030” growth plan where it will launch “a new or significantly revised vehicle every year between 2026 and 2030.” Mitsubishi hasn’t yet given a name to its EV or provided any other technical details, including its expected EPA-estimated range. Like the new Leaf, it will use the CMF-EV platform that also underpins the Ariya SUV and is rated for up to  304 miles on a single charge. In a press release, Mitsubishi Motors North America CEO Mark Chaffin said the company is on an “upward trajectory,” especially in the US.

A pair of electrified Nissans drew big crowds at the Shanghai Auto Show this week. The same could easily happen in America.

The automaker acknowledged that the sedan segment in North America is dwindling and that it should instead focus on its strengths—namely, compact crossovers.

Plus, Musk commits to 40% less time in Washington (maybe) and the White House floats shuffling auto part tariffs again.

The plug-in hybrid pickup will mark Nissan's first foray into PHEV technology, and the Japanese brand's first electrified pickup.

Debuting for China, it has 402 combined horsepower and distinctive styling versus the gas model.

Nissan displayed two new vehicles at the Shanghai Auto Show on Wednesday as part of an effort to launch 10 new-energy vehicles by mid-2027.

It should arrive in 2028, at which point the Frontier could be merged with the Nissan Navara on an all-new platform.

Nissan GT-R 50 by Ital design on display at Nissan Crossing in Ginza. | Image: Stanislav Kogiku/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Nissan’s next-generation GT-R is expected to launch by the end of the decade, and it’s not going to be a pure EV. The new R36 GT-R that will succeed the aging R35 will have a plug-in hybrid powertrain and launch in three to five years, according to Nissan’s chief planning officer, Ponz Pandikuthira, speaking to The Drive. Although it sounds like Nissan is already developing the GT-R in-house, Pandikuthira also hints to The Drive that the company may work with Honda to share a platform with a new Acura NSX. Pandikuthira has dropped a lot of theoreticals about the GT-R. He teases that it could house the 2025 Nissan Armada’s twin-turbo V6 engine, but also drive 70 miles or so on battery only for around-town errands.

What exactly the R36 GT-R will be still seems up in the air, but at least we know Nissan is actively working on one.

Shelve your worries that Nissan is putting a muzzle on Godzilla—the R36 will remain turbocharged, and this time, it'll add electrons.

The upcoming electric subcompact will be related to the new Renault Twingo and Dacia Spring EVs.

If Nissan's claims pan out, this will be a huge jump over the current Leaf's maximum EPA-rated range of 212 miles.
