Last week, Nissan announced that the redesigned, next-generation 2026 Nissan Leaf will be priced to start at $29,990, nearly $3,000 less than the price of the first-generation Leaf when it was introduced in 2011.

Redesigned 2026 Nissan Leaf starts at $31,485 for the base S+ trim, but an even more affordable S trim will join the menu later. The Leaf is now a crossover but is positioned about $10,000 below the Nissan Ariya, which starts at $41,160.

We knew Nissan was working on a redesign of its Leaf EV, but today the company shared some compelling new details about the vehicle line.
