Fresh details surface for 2026 Nissan LEAF
Range, charging and power specs announced for all-electric SUVMore details of the 2026 Nissan LEAF have been released ahead of its launch later this year, including that it can add up to 250km of range after a 14-minute charge when using a 150kW DC charger.
According to Nissan, the average refuelling stop at a typical servo is around the 14-minute mark, so the firm tasked its engineers with adding as much range as possible in that amount of time.
Charging speeds are increased thanks to its onboard navigation-linked battery preconditioning tech.
Nissan has also revealed that its mid-size SUV will launch with a 160kW single e-motor. Combined with a battery pack of undisclosed capacity, a range of more than 500km is anticipated.
Based on the same CMF-EV architecture as the larger Nissan ARIYA (and Renault Megane E-Tech), Nissan has already confirmed that the new LEAF will come with vehicle-to-home (V2X) capability, which allows owners to buy electricity cheaply off-peak and sell back power at a premium in times of high demand for lower running costs.
A vehicle-to-load capability (V2L) is also available.
Courtesy of its CMF-EV platform, the LEAF will feature a multi-link rear suspension for improved rigidity and a better ride and handling balance, while lateral rigidity has been boosted by 66 per cent over the previous generation.
We’ve already seen its active grille shutter tech, e-Dimming panoramic roof and the majority of its styling, but Nissan will reveal the car later today (June 17), including its full specifications.
