It is worth noting that the SV+ version not only reduces the price by $1,960 (8,300 MYR) compared to the 2025 model with the same configuration, but also offers a longer range and more standard features.

The 2026 Leaf is built on the AmpR Medium platform, specifically developed for electric vehicles. Its body length reaches 4,404 mm, offering improved aerodynamic advantages over previous models.
The 2026 Leaf features innovative elements such as electric hidden door handles and 3D holographic taillights. The top-tier PLATINUM+ version is equipped with a segmented panoramic sunroof that can switch between transparent and opaque states.
The interior uses a dual-screen layout, with the S and S+ versions featuring 12.3-inch dual screens. The SV+ and PLATINUM+ versions are upgraded to 14.3-inch screens, creating a 28-inch display area.
2026 LEAF comes standard with ProPILOT
Standard features include ProPILOT Assist driving assistance system, intelligent around view monitor system, and invisible hood view function. The PLATINUM+ version additionally adds a head-up display system, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, and an electric tailgate for extra luxury. The vehicle is also equipped with V2L (vehicle-to-load) functionality, allowing it to power external devices.
LEAF aims to expand market share with an affordable price
Vinay Shahani, Nissan's senior vice president of marketing and sales for the U.S. market, said: "LEAF pioneered the mainstream electric vehicle market 15 years ago, and today we remain committed to making electric driving accessible to everyone. Through engineering innovation, we provide more styles, technologies, and features while maintaining price competitiveness for our customers."
For now, with Tesla's affordable model yet to be released, the LEAF has become one of the most cost-effective new electric vehicle models in the North American market.
The new generation LEAF is expected to begin delivery in the U.S. market in the fall of 2025, produced by the Tochigi plant in Japan. Subsequently, the new LEAF will also be launched in markets such as Japan, Europe, and Australia.
