There’s a new Nissan Leaf just around the corner. Built in the UK and available to order in the Autumn, it is the third generation of a car that was, in its time, a revelation. This writer drove the original Leaf way back in the bygone days of 2010 and it was pleasant surprise; an easy and brisk drive, if with a limited range at the time. Well, electric vehicles (EV) have moved on a lot since then and now we have arrived in 2025 and the pioneering Leaf continues to lead the charge as part of Nissan’s electrification strategy. With a sleek design, significantly extended range and the latest intuitive technology, this is a car that is seamlessly integrated for today’s connected driver.
The thing is, Nissan have seen the issues with EV models and this new vehicle is specifically engineered to tackle key barriers to EV adoption, with a substantially increased maximum range of up to 375 miles on a single charge for a no-compromise driving experience. It also offers enhanced charging speeds (up to 260 miles of range in 30 minutes) and a suite of technologies that make driving easier on today’s congested roads.
About The New Nissan Leaf
The car exhibits a refined new expression of EV design, that it to say it is confidently styled and modern, with unmistakable Nissan DNA. Its aerodynamic silhouette, distinctive lighting signature and carefully crafted interior details reflect a deep understanding of what modern drivers like; not just in function, but also in form.
Designed in Japan but built in the UK, the all-new Nissan Leaf introduces a stylish silhouette that reflects its premium character and aerodynamic efficiency. With a drag coefficient of just 0.25, its sleek design optimises airflow to enhance both performance and range. Flush door handles, a flowing roofline, full under floor cover, and sculpted surfaces create a modern profile, while its signature front and rear lighting delivers a distinct, high-tech identity on the road.
Despite its compact exterior, which, incidentally, is ideal for city driving, parking, and tight manoeuvres, the Leaf offers a spacious interior designed to meet the everyday needs of a modern family. The school run, heading to work or going on vacation, this car has it covered.
Nissan’s latest offering will carry 437 litres of cargo space and has a clever cargo area that can be arranged in different ways to enhance flexibility and use. Access to the boot is made more convenient with the availability of a powered lift-gate, while selected optional variants also include roof rails, enabling the installation of accessory crossbars.
An item normally usually found on prestige models, the panoramic dimming glass roof augments the striking 3D rear lamps and premium material finishes. Every detail of the all-new LEAF is carefully crafted, as can be seen in our images. Inside, drivers will find a spacious, ergonomic interior with clean lines, enhanced visibility, and ambient lighting that elevates the in-cabin experience.
A choice of seven different colours will be available to order across all trim level grades and all the wheel designs are optimised for aerodynamic performance. Options include 18 inch alloy wheels with 195 tyres on entry grade, 18 inch alloys with wider 215 tyres on mid-grade, and 19 inch alloy wheels with 235/45R19 tyres on the top-grade.
More Technology
The all-new LEAF is designed to support the driver with an available suite of intuitive features. Google built-in offers access to Maps, Assistant and ‘Play Store’ directly on the car’s twin 14.3 inch screens. Drivers can control navigation, climate and media hands-free or sync personal apps and services. The Connectivity app (‘NissanConnect Services’ app) will allow remote access to battery status, charging, cabin temperature pre-conditioning, journey planning and many other features.
For your personal musical soundtrack there’s a prestige audio set from Bose which delivers an immersive sound, while an integrated driver headrest speaker handles navigation and phone announcements, allowing passengers to continue enjoying uninterrupted music. That’s a neat idea. ‘ProPILOT Assist’ with ‘Navi-link’ adapts to curves and changing speed limits for effortless highway driving. The ‘e-Pedal Step’ and adjustable regenerative braking deliver smooth, one-pedal driving in urban settings. Regeneration levels are now adjustable via paddle shifters or automatically through ‘Intelligent Distance Control’, which adapts regeneration based on traffic conditions and there’s more: A 3D 8-point ‘Around View’ Monitor and real-time road visualisation help manage tight manoeuvres and the optional ‘Invisible Hood View’ and a ‘Front Wide View’ works by ‘seeing’ past parked cars, buildings or other obstacles are also available. Standard safety includes Intelligent Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Driver Monitor System.
With regular over-the-air updates and a unified access across infotainment and mobile platforms, this new Leaf provides a future-ready tech experience from day one.
Electric Power
Customers can choose between two battery options, both delivering excellent range and real-world usability. With a DC fast-charging capability of up to 150kW, the all-new Leaf can recover up to 260 miles in just 30 minutes. On the highway, it delivers more than 205 miles of range at 81MPH (130KPH) and thanks to the rapid DC charging, journeys over 500 miles can be completed with minimal time difference to ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles, say Nissan. This impressive range, combined with the spacious interior, makes it both a practical and comfortable choice as the main household car, capable of everything from daily commutes to long-distance travel.
Intelligent battery thermal management ensures fast, consistent charging in a range of temperatures, and now works in tandem with the ‘In-Car Route Planner’ by Google Maps to automatically set the battery at the optimal temperature when approaching a fast charger, optimising both charging speed and efficiency. The integrated Google system also helps solve the hassle of planning long journeys by automatically identifying the most convenient charging stops along the way.
Equipped with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, this new model enables external device charging directly from the car, powering a variety of small to medium sized devices, such as kettles, portable lights, or electric grills, when camping or exploring the great outdoors. Using an available accessory adaptor, customers can utilise an external V2L charging port to conveniently power devices, accessing up to 3.6kW of power.
Future-proofing, the all-new LEAF is ‘Vehicle-to-Grid’ (V2G) compatible, such that in the future it will be able to send stored energy back to the power grid. This function will help customers reduce energy costs while supporting a more stable and sustainable energy system.
This car will be available to order from the Autumn of this year with deliveries starting early in 2026. In the meantime interested Nissan fans can see our current stock on this page.
