- Nissan has completely redesigned the Leaf, now an SUV, for 2026
- Prices start at $31,485, with a cheaper base model still to come
The radically remade 2026 Nissan Leaf will start at $31,485 at launch, with a cheaper base model to come later at a lower price. That price includes the destination fee.
The first modern mainstream electric vehicle (EV) sold in the U.S., the Leaf appeared on dealership lots even before the Tesla Model S. Since its debut for the 2011 model year, it has always been a subcompact hatchback.
But designers have scrapped that for 2026, creating an entirely new Leaf with a subcompact SUV’s proportions. The new Leaf has a range of up to 303 miles, a stylish interior with splashes of color and a large dual-screen dashboard, and an updated charging system that lets it use Tesla Superchargers.
It will reach dealerships this fall, Nissan says, in three trim levels. A third, entry-level S trim will come at a later date.
2026 Nissan Leaf Pricing
Nissan says it will charge a mandatory destination fee of “up to $1,495” for all Leaf SUVs.
That’s slightly unusual wording. Nissan is one of a few automakers that sometimes charge different destination fees for Alaska and Hawaii to reflect the added cost of shipping to those states. So we have listed prices with both the MSRP and the $1,495 fee, but it’s possible Nissan will charge a slightly lower destination fee in the lower 48 states.
| Trim Level | MSRP | MSRP + $1,495 Destination Charge |
| Leaf S | TBD | TBD |
| Leaf S+ | $29,990 | $31,485 |
| Leaf SV+ | $34,230 | $35,725 |
| Leaf Platinum+ | $38,990 | $40,485 |
