Today marks the debut of the all-new version of the Nissan LEAF – a British-built electric car icon.
This third generation of the pioneering 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, the all-new LEAF has a substantially increased maximum range of up to 375 miles on a single charge for a no-compromise driving experience. It also offers enhanced charging speeds (up to 260 miles of range in 30 minutes) and a suite of technologies that make 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.
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.
The all-new LEAF will offer 437 litres of cargo space and has a clever cargo area that can be arranged in different ways to enhance flexibility and use. 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 carefully crafted. 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. 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.
