(Motorsport-Total.com/Motor1) – The first Nissan Leaf hit the market in 2011. At the time, the Japanese compact car with its unusual shape was one of the first electric cars on the road. The second generation followed in 2018, but its success was much less than that of its predecessor. This is partly due to the large market for battery-powered vehicles.

Nissan Leaf Release (2025).

Grow

The leaf must reorganize itself to succeed again. And in fact, a completely new model may come to the market in the middle of 2025, which will change a lot in terms of the car and the overall look.

Die Evolution

According to reports from various Japanese and American media, the new Leaf will be based on the 2021 Chill Out Concept. A very slim crossover. So its final shape may be very close to our rendering.

The roof has a simple arch and clean sides, while the rear has a glossy black panel.

At the same time, we think that the instruments on board are largely from its older sister That’s all adopted, with some possible changes to the layout of controls and graphics.

Battery and range

Unfortunately, there is still no official information about the drives and batteries of the next Leaf. However, it is believed that Nissan will be based on the CMF-EV platform – similar to that of the Ariya. Electric vehicles have batteries of 66 and 91 kWh (all in total) and electric motors with up to 320 kW (in the new Nismo E-4orce model).

We also know that the Japanese manufacturer has been working on solid-state batteries for some time, although the brand had announced a possible launch around 2028. Even if we don’t get this new generation of better-performing batteries, it’s easy to believe that the future Leaf will improve on a large amount of current structure.

Price? It can be assumed that the current price list will have to be adjusted upwards and we are talking about base prices of around 40,000 euros.
