The name ‘Leaf’ stands like no other for the early breakthrough of electric mobility in everyday life. Now Nissan is bringing back the Leaf as a completely repositioned model – not as a classic compact car as before, but as an aerodynamically designed electric crossover in a family-friendly size. The central promise: long range, modern assistance and infotainment technology, and an entry-level price that currently stands out in the German market. At the same time, the equipment list shows that the aggressive price has not been achieved without compromises – especially in terms of charging and the winter suitability of the basic version.Pricing strategy: starting at £35,950 – and a clear focus on volumeNissan is focusing on a clear spread for the new Leaf (model year 2026): the entry-level price starts at £35,950 (recommended retail price, typically plus delivery). The variants are priced up to £48,000.Noteworthy: the smaller battery is only available in the basic version. Those who want more range and more comfort technology automatically end up with the larger battery and thus in a significantly higher price range. Although the Leaf is advertised at a ‘competitive price’, the configurations that are realistically in high demand (larger battery, more comfort) are in a price range where there is strong competition.
