2026 Nissan LEAF in Niles, IL

The 2026 Nissan LEAF has arrived at Star Nissan, and it is nothing like the electric car you thought you knew. This all-new generation has transformed from a humble hatchback into a sleek, crossover-inspired vehicle that offers more range, faster charging, and a stunning new design. Perfect for the eco-conscious driver in Skokie or Evanston, the new LEAF eliminates range anxiety while providing a spacious and tech-forward environment. With its adoption of the NACS charging port, you now have access to a vast network of Superchargers, making long-distance travel easier than ever. This is the electric vehicle that fits seamlessly into your life, offering zero-emission driving without zero-excitement compromises.

Interior

The interior of the 2026 LEAF is a futuristic lounge designed for the modern age. A flat floor architecture, made possible by the compact "3-in-1" electric powertrain, creates an open and airy atmosphere with generous legroom for all passengers. The dashboard features a stunning dual-screen setup, with a digital instrument cluster flowing seamlessly into a large central infotainment display.

Google built-in integration brings Google Maps and Google Assistant directly to your fingertips, allowing for voice-controlled navigation and media. The available panoramic glass roof floods the cabin with natural light, enhancing the sense of space, while sustainable materials throughout the interior reflect the vehicle's eco-friendly mission.

Exterior

Visually, the 2026 LEAF marks a radical departure from its predecessor. It sports a dynamic, aero-optimized shape that slices through the wind to maximize efficiency. The front end features a modern interpretation of the V-Motion grille, illuminated by sleek, stacked LED headlights that give it a high-tech face.

Flush door handles and a floating roofline contribute to a sophisticated profile that looks right at home in the upscale driveways of Lincolnwood. The crossover stance provides a higher seating position for better visibility, while the sharp character lines add a sense of motion even when the vehicle is charging.

Performance

Driving the 2026 LEAF is an electrifying experience in every sense of the word. The new 75 kWh battery pack powers a responsive electric motor that delivers instant torque for zippy acceleration away from stoplights. With an EPA-estimated range of up to 303 miles on select trims, you can handle your daily commute and weekend errands on a single charge with miles to spare.

The celebrated e-Pedal technology allows for one-pedal driving, regenerating energy when you lift off the accelerator and bringing the car to a smooth stop. Furthermore, the lower center of gravity ensures the LEAF stays planted in corners, making it surprisingly fun to drive on winding roads.

Safety Features

Safety innovation is at the core of the 2026 LEAF. It features the latest version of ProPILOT Assist, a hands-on driver-assist system that combines Intelligent Cruise Control with Steering Assist to make highway driving less stressful. The standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360 includes Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist to keep you safe on dark suburban roads.

New for 2026 is an invisible-to-hood view, utilizing cameras to show you exactly where your front wheels are placed, which is incredibly helpful for navigating tight curbs or parking garages.
