Nissan, the first engine in batteries-electric vehicles, relies on his longest current bev sign to help him regain his lost land in a segment he has ever owned.
The third -generation sheet is very different from the first -generation car, which debuted in 2010. This model had a hatchback style, a range of 200 km (124 miles) and a handful of rivals.
There is now more than 300 BEV in Europe, according to the registration of market researcher Dasancorce.
The new sheet has a crossover body style, a range of more than 600 km (373 miles). In addition, there is a battery that can add 400 km range in just 30 minutes to a fast charger.
Nissan will start delivering Bev to customers in Europe in the spring of 2026. Nissan has not yet announced prices for the list that will be built at his factory in Sunderland, England.

The car manufacturer invests £ 423 million ($ 570 million) to upgrade the plant to build up to 100,000 new sheets a year.
The leaf is supported by the Renault-Nissan Alliance CMF-EV platform, which is shared with the Nissan Ari Midsize electric crossover, as well as the electronic versions of Renault Megane and Scenic.
Since 2010, Nissan has sold about 700,000 sheets worldwide. More than 270,000 sheets were built in the UK from 2013 until the production of the second -generation car stopped in March 2024 to prepare for the third generation.
The third-generation sheet is shorter, but wider and higher than the previous generation, but its main aerodynamics give it a better drag coefficient.
The new sheet is 4350 mm long, 1810 mm wide and 1550 mm high and has a drilling coefficient of 0.25. The current model is 4490 mm in length, 1788 mm wide and 1540 mm high with a driving factor of 0.28.
The new leaf has a low nose and a sloping roof line to help the air flow hug the body, which ends in a high tail. It was designed by Nissan Studio in Atsugi, Japan.
The new sheet will be available with a number of electric motor and lithium-ion battery configurations.
The input version has a 52-kilowatt hour battery, combined with a 130-kW (177 hp) electric motor. It accelerates from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in 8.6 seconds. Nissan said the energy consumption of this model is homological for 14 kW per 100 km, which becomes a maximum certified WLTP range of 436 km and a 224 km highway at a highway at a constant speed of 130 km / h.
The highest version of the Leaf has a 75 kWh batteria, paired with a 160 kW (218hp) engine and accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.6 seconds. Nissan said it uses 14.2 kW per 100 km, but due to the larger battery, the maximum range of WLTP is 604 km and 330 km on the highway at a speed of up to 130 km / h.
The maximum speed for both versions is 160 kph maximum speed.
The input comes standard with a 7.4-KW built-in charger. Loading 11 kW on board is an option. The maximum direct current is 105 kW, which means it takes 30 minutes to increase the battery from 20 to 80 percent, which would add 277 km range.
The highest version comes standard with an 11-KW built-in charger and maximum direct current of 150 kW. This means that a 30-minute recharge of 20 to 80 percent would add 417 km range.
The first sheet had a choice of 24 or 30 kWh battery and a range of about 160 km. The second-generation car batteries were 40 and 60 kWh, with the highest range of 340 km.
The Monolith display combines double 14.3-inch screens in the leaf.
Nissan design team Kuri selected five background themes for screens, including a new Engawa design. The Japanese philosophy of Engawa, which is often used in architecture, seeks to create a smooth transition between interior and outdoor spaces, blurring their borders.
The third -generation leaf has a set of advanced driver support systems, including the new 3D smart view monitor that provides many virtual advantages around the vehicle, an invisible hood and front view that helps the driver see past parked cars, buildings and other obstacles.
It has an intelligent planning route based on Google cards, which provides real-time route information, a fee status and information for almost places.
One of the four bevs in two years
The leaf is one of the four new bevs that Nissan will start before 2027
The leaf will be preceded on the market by the new Micra, which has been on sale in France since October.
Next year, Nissan will debut a new, only electric jook small all -terrain vehicle, which will be built in the UK with Arya and Leaf in the UK
The fourth model, to come in late 2026, will be a complete electric minister based on Renault Twingo. Renault will build both cars in its plant in a new place, Slovenia. The Renault Sister Brand Dacia will also receive a car version.
Nissan sales in Europe decreased by 5.4 percent in the first half to 165 901 in a market, which dropped by 1.1 percent. The compact Qashqai crossover was Nissan’s bestseller with a volume of 78 397, leaving it in front of Juka (51,592) and the X-Trail Midsize (19,620) SUV, according to Dastorce.
