2027 Nissan LEAF: What's New, What's Changing, and What Stays the Same

The 2027 Nissan LEAF continues the model's big transformation: it is now a sleek, crossover-style electric vehicle with up to about 300 miles of range and a built-in NACS charging port that opens the door to thousands of Tesla Superchargers. Nissan redesigned the LEAF for 2026, so the 2027 carries that forward with, at most, minor changes. If you are shopping for an affordable, easy-to-live-with EV, this guide covers what the LEAF offers for 2027 and how to shop it at Kunes Nissan.

Update type: Expected carry-over (fully redesigned for 2026). Body style: Compact electric crossover (seats five). Battery choices: A larger 75-kWh pack on the plus grades; a smaller pack on the base grade. Estimated range: Up to about 303 miles (S+), with other grades a bit lower. Drive: Front-wheel drive. Charging: Native NACS port (Tesla Supercharger access), plus J1772, up to 150-kW DC fast charging. Trims: S, S+, SV+, and Platinum+. Starting price: Expected in the low $30,000s (confirm current pricing below).

One of the LEAF's standout features is its native NACS charging port, which means it can use thousands of Tesla Superchargers without an adapter, along with J1772 and standard DC fast chargers (up to 150 kW). That is a real convenience advantage, because it widens your public charging options considerably on road trips and around town.

The plus grades (S+, SV+, and Platinum+) use a larger 75-kWh battery, with EPA-estimated range up to about 303 miles on the S+, and somewhat less on the SV+ and Platinum+ as equipment and wheel sizes increase. A lower-priced base S grade uses a smaller battery with less range, for buyers who mostly drive locally and want the lowest price of entry.

The redesigned LEAF trades the old hatchback look for a more crossover-like shape, with a roomier, more modern cabin. Expect available large dual displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Nissan's driver-assistance technology, including Safety Shield 360 and available ProPILOT Assist.

Because Nissan fully redesigned the LEAF for 2026, the 2027 is expected to carry over with only minor changes and a possible small price adjustment. The main development is the addition of a lower-priced base grade with a smaller battery, broadening the lineup. We will post confirmed 2027 changes here once Nissan finalizes the U.S. details.

Official 2027 LEAF U.S. pricing was still settling as of this writing. Based on the redesigned lineup, expect the LEAF to start in the low $30,000s, with the plus grades (S+, SV+, and Platinum+) priced higher. Ask us about any current EV incentives you may qualify for, since those can change the effective price.

The core of the redesigned LEAF carries over. It remains a five-seat, front-wheel-drive electric crossover with a choice of battery sizes, the native NACS charging port, and up to about 300 miles of range on the larger pack. The modern cabin, the available technology, and standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 continue. Nissan's warranty coverage carries over as well, including long coverage on the EV battery (8 years or 100,000 miles) along with the basic and powertrain warranties.

The LEAF makes the most sense if you can charge at home or at work, since starting most days with a full battery is the single biggest convenience of EV ownership. Its range and native Supercharger access also make longer trips realistic, and its lower price of entry makes it one of the more approachable ways into an EV. If you are new to electric vehicles, we are happy to walk through range, charging, home setup, incentives, and what daily ownership actually looks like, with no pressure. We make it EASY!
