2026 Nissan LEAF

2026 Nissan LEAF

The 2026 Nissan LEAF has been completely re-engineered, ditching its old hatchback skin for a sleek, "Neo-Rugged" crossover profile that’s built for the future of the Motor City. As your premier EV authority at Tamaroff Nissan, located just North of Detroit in Roseville, we know the commute from Sterling Heights, Warren, or Troy requires more than just a battery—it requires grit. The all-new LEAF delivers with a massive leap in range, a higher ride height to handle Michigan's unpredictable terrain, and a dedicated EV platform that proves performance and efficiency can thrive in the heart of the Detroit metro area.

Interior

Inside the 2026 LEAF, you'll find a tech-heavy sanctuary that is light-years ahead of the previous generation. The cabin is anchored by a massive 12.3-inch dual-widescreen display (upgradable to 14.3 inches), creating a "monolith" command center with Google built-in. Because we know Michigan winters can be brutal, the available heated front and rear seats, along with a heated steering wheel, ensure you stay warm while the heat pump preserves your range. A game-changer for 2026 is the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, allowing you to use your LEAF as a portable power bank to run tools at a job site or keep a refrigerator running during a blackout. With a flat floor and expanded knee room, it’s a spacious, versatile hub for the modern driver.

Exterior

The 2026 LEAF abandons the "economy" look for a muscular, crossover-inspired stance that commands respect. Its super-clean exterior features motorized flush front door handles—a first for Nissan—and a fastback roofline that slices through the air with a class-leading drag coefficient of 0.26. The bold front fascia is defined by "Crystal Cube" LED headlights and an optionally illuminated Nissan emblem. From the "katana-blade" roof accents inspired by the Z sports car to the available 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, this is an EV that projects power. It’s a sophisticated, aerodynamic masterpiece that looks just as good parked in downtown Detroit as it does cruising through Macomb or Clinton Township.

Performance

Power is immediate and uncompromising. The 2026 LEAF features a 214-horsepower electric motor that delivers 261 lb-ft of instant torque, providing the muscle you need to merge onto I-94 or I-696 with zero hesitation. The new 75-kWh liquid-cooled battery pack delivers an impressive EPA-estimated range of up to 303 miles on the S+ trim, putting range anxiety in the rearview mirror. Crucially for 2026, the LEAF finally adopts the NACS charging port, unlocking seamless access to over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers across the country. With DC fast-charging capable of taking the battery from 10% to 80% in about 35 minutes, you’ll spend more time on the road and less time at the plug.

Safety Features

A legend in safety, the 2026 LEAF comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, watching your six while you focus on the road. The tech list is extensive: Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, and the new Secondary Collision Mitigation Braking, which helps prevent a second impact after an accident. For those long hauls through the suburbs, ProPILOT Assist combines intelligent cruise control with steering help to keep you centered in your lane. New camera tech like "Invisible Hood View" and "Front Wide View" give you a fighter-pilot's perspective of the ground around you, making tight spots in Roseville or St. Clair Shores easier than ever to navigate.
