    The entry price for the entry-level S trim is still to be announced, however.

    With one notable detail missing, Nissan Canada has announced pricing for the revamped 2026 LEAF EV. For now, we still don’t know what the entry-level S trim will cost Canadians – that will come later, we’re told. And that might or might not be the result of the continued wait for an announcement regarding the restart of the federal EV incentives program.

    The LEAF’s new modular battery approach increases energy density by 17 percent. The top-end model gets a 75-kWh battery, up from 60 kWh previously (the base version goes up to 52 kWh). Three variants of the 75-kWh model will be offered.

    The more powerful battery helps deliver an estimated 488 km of EPA range, though the Platinum+ version tops out at 341 km.

    Another innovation is the three-in-one motor (motor, inverter and reducer), which allows for reducing the powertrain's size by 10 percent all while improving efficiency.

    The 160-kW motor is retained for the higher-end models, while more affordable versions get a 130-kW unit (compared to 110 kW for the previous generation).

    The new LEAF is equipped with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. As well, Nissan promises owners access to over 25,000 public chargers in Canada through the Nissan Energy Charge Network.

    Note that Nissan Canada is offering a complimentary Level 2 home charger to the first 200 buyers of the new LEAF.
