The New 2026 Nissan Leaf

The 2026 Nissan LEAF brings the brand’s two decades of EV expertise to a new level of efficiency and performance. It features a choice between two advanced liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery packs—a 52-kWh pack paired with a 174-horsepower motor, or a 75-kWh version that boosts output to 214 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque.

With an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 303 miles per charge on the LEAF S+, 288 miles on the SV+, and 259 miles on the Platinum+, the LEAF is built to go the distance whether you’re commuting through DFW or cruising toward Cleburne for the weekend.

Charging has never been easier. Thanks to the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, LEAF drivers gain access to more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers nationwide. The LEAF supports 150 kW DC fast charging, taking the battery from 10% to 80% in about 35 minutes. Home charging remains effortless too, with a portable 120V/240V cable that makes it simple to recharge overnight.

Beyond power and range, the 2026 LEAF introduces a smoother, more responsive drive. The electric powertrain delivers instant torque, whisper-quiet operation, and available regenerative braking paddles that allow near one-pedal driving for maximum efficiency.

Every detail of the 2026 LEAF was engineered to make electric driving feel natural and confident. Its low center of gravity and aerodynamic design—boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.26—help enhance stability and handling on busy DFW highways and winding suburban roads.

Cold weather performance is equally refined. LEAF’s new thermal battery management system uses heat captured from the drive motor and on-board charger to maintain optimal temperature, ensuring predictable range and charging times even in cooler Texas winters. An energy-efficient heat pump and available battery heater also help improve comfort and efficiency in low temperatures.

Drivers can also take advantage of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, allowing them to power tools, camping gear, or small electronics directly from the vehicle’s charge port. Whether you’re tailgating at a Fort Worth football game or camping at Lake Ray Roberts, the LEAF is as versatile as it is efficient.

Step inside the 2026 Nissan LEAF, and you’ll immediately notice how open, modern, and intuitive it feels. The cabin’s minimalist layout features clean lines, premium materials, and intelligent design choices that enhance space and comfort.

Available Zero Gravity seats reduce fatigue during long drives, while TailorFit™ upholstery—offered on higher trims—adds a soft yet durable touch that’s easy to maintain. The flat floor design and repositioned shifter free up legroom and create a more spacious feel for all passengers.

Available 64-color ambient lighting lets drivers customize their cabin environment, while the optional dimming panoramic roof—a segment first—uses polymer-dispersed liquid crystal technology to switch between transparent and opaque at the press of a button. It’s functional luxury with a futuristic twist.

Cargo space remains generous, with up to 55.5 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats and an available Divide-N-Hide® Cargo System for flexible organization. Whether it’s groceries, luggage, or weekend gear, LEAF makes every trip simple and stress-free.

The 2026 LEAF’s transformation begins with a sleek, crossover-inspired body that merges futuristic design with functional aerodynamics. Its flush motorized door handles, integrated katana-blade window molding, and full-width lighting signature create a distinctive presence that turns heads in downtown Fort Worth or along I-30.

A black grille with an illuminated Nissan emblem, stacked LED lighting elements, and available full-width running lamp underscore the LEAF’s cutting-edge appeal. Available 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels (depending on trim) feature Nissan’s signature “2-3” geometric pattern—a nod to the Japanese pronunciation of the brand’s name (“ni-san”).

Exterior color choices include standout two-tone finishes like Seabreeze Blue Pearl with Black Roof, Coulis Red Pearl with Black Roof, and Everest White Pearl Tricoat, as well as single-tone options such as Boulder Gray Pearl, Deep Ocean Blue Pearl, and Gun Metallic. Each shade accentuates LEAF’s sculpted proportions and aerodynamic silhouette, making it one of the most stylish EVs on Texas roads.

The 2026 Nissan LEAF delivers a cutting-edge technology experience designed to keep drivers connected, informed, and confident behind the wheel. Inside, the S+ trim offers dual 12.3-inch digital displays with seamless wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. For an elevated experience, higher trims introduce dual 14.3-inch screens with Google built-in, giving drivers direct access to Google Maps™, Assistant, and the Play Store. This system can even plan routes based on the vehicle’s remaining charge and recommend optimal charging stops—ideal for navigating longer drives across the DFW metroplex.

Entertainment and convenience are also top priorities in the new LEAF. Music lovers will appreciate the standard Bose® Personal Plus® 10-speaker audio system on the Platinum+ trim, which includes headrest speakers that provide immersive sound while allowing for private calls or navigation prompts. Passengers stay connected thanks to features like an available wireless charging pad, USB-C ports in both rows, and built-in Wi-Fi powered by the MyNISSAN App.

Safety remains at the core of the LEAF’s design. Every 2026 model comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, and Rear Automatic Braking. Higher trims enhance driver confidence further with ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving, Traffic Sign Recognition, and the Intelligent Around View® Monitor for full 360° visibility—ensuring peace of mind whether navigating busy Fort Worth streets or cruising along open highways.

The S+ introduces you to the future of driving with the 75-kWh battery, 214 horsepower, and up to 303 miles of range. Inside, you’ll find cloth seating, dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless smartphone integration, and Nissan Safety Shield® 360. It’s the ideal starting point for drivers going electric for the first time.

Stepping up to the SV+ adds elevated comfort and connectivity with upgraded 14.3-inch digital screens, Google built-in, regenerative braking paddles, and an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. Range estimates reach 288 miles, balancing performance with convenience for daily DFW commutes.

At the top of the lineup, the Platinum+ delivers electric luxury with TailorFit™ seating, 19-inch alloy wheels, dimming panoramic roof, multicolor ambient lighting, and the 10-speaker Bose® audio system. It also includes the Head-Up Display, wireless phone charging, and ProPILOT Assist for a seamless, premium EV experience.

For Fort Worth drivers ready to embrace electric mobility, the 2026 Nissan LEAF makes the transition effortless. It combines exceptional range, intuitive tech, and stylish design in a package that feels instantly familiar yet distinctly futuristic. Whether you’re switching from gas for the first time or upgrading to the latest generation of Nissan innovation, the LEAF redefines what everyday electric driving can be.
