The All-New Third Generation Nissan LEAF: A Bold Leap into the Electric Future

At Rendez-Vous Nissan, we’ve seen electric cars come a long way—and no vehicle represents that progress better than the Third Generation Nissan LEAF. As one of the world’s best-selling EVs, the LEAF has always stood for innovation, efficiency, and accessible electric driving. Now, with the Third Generation Nissan LEAF just revealed, Nissan is charging forward with a whole new vision of what your EV should be.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to go electric, this is it.

A Redefined Icon: What’s New in the Third Generation Nissan LEAF

A Bold New Look

The Third Generation Nissan LEAF has gone through a dramatic transformation—and it shows. With its sleek silhouette, wide stance, and refined grille design, this new model looks every bit like the EV of tomorrow.

It’s no longer just about efficiency. The LEAF now brings a confident, SUV-inspired design that looks great on your driveway and stands out in traffic. Plus, Nissan’s signature LED lighting and unique body accents give it a premium feel.

Designed from the Ground Up

The Third Generation Nissan LEAF isn’t just a facelift—it’s a complete platform redesign. Built on the CMF-EV platform (also used by the Nissan Ariya), it delivers a lower center of gravity, better stability, and improved space inside the cabin. That means better handling on winding roads and a smoother ride for everyday commutes.

Better Range, Smoother Driving – Built for Suburban Life

Extended Range for Real-World Driving

Let’s talk numbers. While Nissan hasn’t confirmed the exact range yet, they’ve said the Third Generation Nissan LEAF will go “well beyond” the current 342 km of range (as seen in the LEAF Plus). That’s more than enough for most daily commutes, school drop-offs, and even the occasional trip to Montreal or Ottawa.

No more range anxiety. Just plug in, drive, and enjoy the ride.

Seamless Charging Wherever You Go

Charging your Third Generation Nissan LEAF is easier than ever. Whether you’re charging overnight at home, using a public Level 2 charger, or grabbing a quick top-up at a DC Fast Charging station, this new generation supports faster, more efficient charging.

Tech That Makes Life Easier

ProPILOT Assist 2.1

Yes, the Third Generation Nissan LEAF can help drive itself—almost. With ProPILOT Assist 2.1, it offers hands-free highway driving, intelligent lane change assist, and adaptive cruise control that adjusts to traffic flow.

If you commute on Autoroute 417 or 40, this could make your daily drive feel like a breeze.

Smart Connectivity, Smarter You

Stay connected with NissanConnect®—the infotainment system that integrates your phone, maps, messages, and even remote vehicle controls via the app. Features include:

• Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™

• Over-the-air software updates

• Custom driver profiles

• Wireless smartphone charging

Technology should serve you, not distract you—and that’s exactly what the Third Generation Nissan LEAF delivers.

Sustainable Driving with Zero Emissions (and Zero Stress)

Eco-Friendly and Proud of It

The Third Generation Nissan LEAF is designed with the planet in mind. Nissan is using recycled and sustainable materials in the seats, dash, and interior surfaces, without compromising on style or durability.

It’s part of Nissan’s broader mission to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. So every LEAF helps make a cleaner tomorrow—starting with your next drive to work.

Save Big on Fuel and Maintenance

No oil changes. No fuel stops. And significantly lower maintenance costs. Over time, owning a vehicle like the NEW Generation Nissan LEAF can save you thousands—especially when paired with provincial and federal incentives.

In Ontario, you may qualify for up to $5,000 in federal rebates, and in Quebec, it can go even higher. Visit the Transport Canada iZEV program for more info.

Safety Comes Standard

Nissan Safety Shield® 360

As always, safety is top-of-mind. The Nissan LEAF includes Nissan’s Safety Shield® 360, with features like:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection

• Blind Spot Warning

• Rear Cross Traffic Alert

• Lane Departure Warning

• High Beam Assist

Add to that intelligent driver alertness monitoring and a 360° Around View Monitor, and you’ve got one of the safest EVs in its class.

Practical for Everyday Life

Spacious, Versatile, and Ready to Go

Yes, it’s a compact hatchback—but inside, the Nissan LEAF feels surprisingly roomy and adaptable. Fold-flat rear seats give you space for groceries, hockey bags, road trip gear, or strollers.

And with its hatchback liftgate and low load floor, it’s easy to pack and go.
