Nissan unveils all-new third-generation LEAF
The All-New 2026 Nissan LEAF Is Here — Sleek, Smart, and Ready to Lead
Nissan has officially lifted the curtain on the all-new 2026 LEAF, and it’s not just an update—it’s a total reinvention. The third-generation LEAF blends sleek, aerodynamic styling with SUV-like proportions, signaling a bold departure from the hatchback form that defined the nameplate for over a decade. This refreshed design marks a new chapter for one of the world’s most accessible and best-selling electric vehicles.
With nearly 700,000 global sales under its belt, the LEAF has long been a pioneer in the mass-market EV space. The 2026 model takes that foundation and builds upon it in every direction—design, technology, comfort, and capability. Whether you’re a loyal EV enthusiast or making the switch from a gas-powered car, Nissan’s newest electric offering is designed to meet you where you are and elevate your driving experience.
@stmblog The all-new 2026 Nissan LEAF is here! Sleek SUV style, longer range, smart tech & faster charging. Arrives this fall. ⚡🚗 #NissanLEAF ♬ original sound – STMDailyNews
Striking Design Meets Everyday Versatility
The all-new LEAF sports clean, sculpted body lines and a wide stance that echoes modern crossover aesthetics. Inside, the cabin is minimal yet inviting, focused on comfort, spaciousness, and wellbeing. A dimming panoramic roof with heat shielding adds a premium touch, while ambient lighting in 64 available colors helps set the perfect mood for any drive.
Performance Meets Practicality
Among the most impressive upgrades is a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery offering up to 75 kWh of usable capacity—meaning more range, more freedom, and more confidence. Faster charging speeds and the inclusion of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port with Plug & Charge capability further simplify EV ownership.
Nissan’s all-new 3-in-1 powertrain—a compact, integrated system combining motor, inverter, and reducer—delivers both efficiency and power in a sleek package. It’s an engineering advancement that supports the LEAF’s mission of providing reliable, affordable electric mobility for all.
Tech-Savvy and Feature-Rich
This isn’t just a car—it’s a rolling tech hub. The 2026 LEAF offers dual 14.3-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and Google built-in features like Google Maps. Drivers will enjoy innovative tools like the Invisible Hood View, Front Wide View, and the 3D Intelligent Around View® Monitor—making tight parking and complex driving environments far easier to navigate.
Audiophiles take note: the available Bose® Personal® Plus audio system ensures that your soundtrack is every bit as premium as your ride.
Built to Impress, Ready for the Road
With details like flush door handles, holographic 3D tail lamps, and available 19-inch wheels, the 2026 LEAF is clearly designed to turn heads. But its mission is practical at heart: making electric driving seamless for everyday users. From its improved range to thoughtful in-cabin tech, Nissan is aiming squarely at the mainstream with this launch.
Assembly for the U.S. and Canadian markets will take place at Nissan’s Tochigi plant in Japan, where the LEAF will be built alongside the Ariya SUV.
The 2026 Nissan LEAF arrives at U.S. dealerships this fall, with availability in other global markets to follow.

(Family Features) For most homeowners, their house’s exterior is a reflection of them, which makes it important to ensure its curb appeal is up to par. While there are plenty of ways to enhance the appearance of your home, these ideas can leave a lasting impression.
Choose the Right Plants
Opt for a mix of evergreen shrubs, perennials and seasonal flowers that provide continuous color visual interest. For example, billowy trees can add height and movement while ground cover plants and shrubs can fill in spaces and prevent weeds.
Incorporate Stonework
Hardscaping elements such as walkways, retaining walls and stone borders – as well as natural stone or stone veneer – can significantly enhance the structure and aesthetic of your front yard. Even if changing your home’s facade isn’t in your plans, natural stone, paver or brick sidewalks or landscape rings can be incorporated to complement its architectural style.
Update Lighting
Not only does outdoor lighting enhance safety and security, it can be used to highlight key features and create a welcoming ambiance after dark. Consider adding lighting to (or replacing fixtures around) your driveway, walkways and entryway to guide visitors and use spotlights to draw attention to architectural details, trees and garden beds.
Give It a Fresh Coat of Paint
One of the first projects that comes to mind for many homeowners looking to improve curb appeal, a fresh coat of paint can make a striking difference. However, if a full-scale paint job isn’t in the budget, refreshing the trim, bannisters and railings, gutters or other accent pieces can still help provide fresh pops of color.

Upgrade to Thoughtful Luxury
True luxury lies in the details and in daily rituals. Consider design-forward upgrades that elevate both comfort and hygiene. A one-piece bidet toilet delivers a spa-like experience through smart technology and minimalist design, making it a standout smart toilet option.
“WASHLET+ one-piece bidet toilets have become one of my go-to upgrades,” said Alena Capra, CMKBD, host of “SoFlo Home Project.” “They’re beautifully designed, surprisingly easy to install and instantly elevate a bathroom’s comfort and style. The S7 and S7A WASHLET+ models feature a sleek, one-piece design and are the perfect blend of smart tech and timeless design, especially for homeowners prepping for summer guests.”
Features such as warm-water cleansing, heated seats, air dryers and built-in deodorizers can transform everyday routines into spa-like experiences. Some premium models with these innovations are now available through independent showrooms’ “Buy More, Save More” promotion, making it easier to upgrade multiple bathrooms while embracing comfort and sustainability.
Refine the Finishing Touches
Modernize your space by replacing outdated hardware with elevated styles. Brushed metal or matte black finishes offer a contemporary edge while luxurious showerheads and touchless faucets enhance both innovative function and visual appeal.
Clarify with Purposeful Lighting
A well-designed bathroom deserves lighting that both flatters and functions. Layered lighting such as dimmable sconces, task-specific fixtures and ambient sources adds visual depth and supports everything from morning routines to nighttime relaxation.
Maximize Utility with Integrated Design
Keep your space feeling serene and uncluttered with discreet storage solutions. Built-in cabinetry, recessed niches and custom shelving maintain visual harmony while keeping essentials within reach. Consider toe-kick drawers or mirrored cabinets for added functionality with style.
With small but intentional updates, your bathroom can become a peaceful space that reflects your personal style and enhances everyday living. For more design inspiration and to explore a full range of luxury bathroom innovations, visit TOTOUSA.com.
