- More rank, faster load and a lower price
- NACS support means that you can recharge in Tesla Supercharger stations
- The sheet comes at a time when the demand for electric vehicles is decreasing in the United States
Nissan has revealed the prices of its Nissan Leaf model to the United States and states that it will be the cheapest EV for sale when it reaches the roads in 2026.
The updated sheet, which the Japanese brand expects to be even more popular than the innovative original, will begin at $ 29,990 for S+ sheet and will rise to $ 38,990 for the platinum adjustment+ superior specification, which handles 259 miles with a single load.
The entrance level model is around $ 3,000 cheaper than the original 2011 and undermines the outgoing version 2025, but Nissan will also reveal prices for the cheapest S model at the end of this year, which could start with less than $ 28,000.
Redesigned from scratch and sharing its platform with the Nissan Ariya, the US S+ specifications sheet presents a 75kwh battery that is capable of 303 miles with a single load. The outgoing 2025 model achieved a maximum range of 212 miles.
Although they now adopt the most popular form of the SUV/crossover body, the new leaf is actually a little shorter than outgoing hatchback and only 10 mm higher, but engineers have somehow managed to order inside, so there is more space to comfortably transport passengers.
The Port of Load of Tesla America of the North American (NACS) has been added, which allows users to obtain access to the vast supercharging network. The collection of 10% to 80% has about 35 minutes from the fastest loaders.
Other new notable features include a panoramic roof that attenuates electronically, which Nissan says that it is the first in the segment, an infotainment system with Google headquarters and an advanced camera technology that provides a 360 -degree view of the vehicle and offers an invisible ‘hood’ view to facilitate parking.

Despite the rapid growth in recent years, EV sales have slowed in the United States in recent months, with the interior of the EVs informing that the US EV market share fell from 7.4% to 6.6% in April of this year.
Consumer confidence has been shaken by the decision of the United States government to eliminate subsidies, while financing for EV industries continues to be attacked. The support to ensure that technology becomes the main current is not in place.
Nissan also faces its own crisis, since the price of its shares continues to turn due to the continuous losses it has been publishing. As a result, it has already announced deep cuts to the workforce and the closure of several floors.
The new blade must be a great success in the United States, while the next All-Electric micra also hopes to have a successful race in Europe, since it shares most of its components with the very popular Renault 5 e-tech.
Both at a price, the new Nissan Leaf is approaching as close as the US will reach the mythical $ 25,000 EV (with a usable range) for which the Internet has stared.
Seeing that Tesla seems to have killed that idea, Nissan could be in the perfect position for victory over new clients.
