2026 Nissan Leaf Design
Breaking away from its hatchback roots, the 2025 Nissan Leaf embraces a sporty coupe-SUV silhouette underpinned by the dedicated CMF-EV platform. The design language borrows cues from the Nissan Ariya, featuring a sculpted V-Motion grille, boomerang-shaped LED headlights, and an illuminated Nissan badge.
At the rear, a ducktail-style boot lip, blacked-out cladding, and 3D LED tail lamps lend a premium and aerodynamic flair. Buyers can choose from a vibrant color palette, including Seabreeze Blue Pearl, Coulis Red Pearl, Everest White Pearl Tricoat, and Boulder Gray Pearl, many paired with a contrasting black roof for a sporty touch.

Feature-Rich Cabin with Futuristic Tech
Inside, the minimalist cabin is clean and tech-forward. A floating dashboard supports either dual 12.3-inch or larger 14.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system. Touch-sensitive climate controls and a walkthrough center console create an airy, futuristic environment. Notably, it debuts Nissan’s dimming panoramic sunroof with PDLC tech—adjustable opacity at the touch of a button.
For buyers looking for modern safety features, the Leaf packs a punch: ProPilot Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Intelligent Cruise Control, Driver Monitor System, and an 8-point 3D surround view camera system with “Invisible Hood” vision enhance both comfort and safety.
