The next generation of the New Nissan LEAF 2026 is here — and it’s ready for everything life on the Côte-Nord throws your way.
Completely redesigned from the ground up, the 2026 Nissan LEAF trades its urban hatchback roots for a bold, modern look inspired by the all-electric Ariya SUV. But beyond the style, it’s the enhanced range, winter-adapted tech, and true versatility that make it an ideal electric companion for life in and around Baie-Comeau.
Picture this: cruising in silence along Route 138 on your way to Pointe-aux-Outardes, parked near the Jean-L’Houmeau performance hall for a concert, or loaded up for a weekend fishing trip by the Manicouagan River. That’s the new LEAF — ready for real life on the North Shore.
Right away, the transformation is clear. The bubbly, compact look is gone. In its place: a sleeker, longer, more dynamic design that lands somewhere between a sedan and a compact SUV.
Thin LED headlights, a solid black Nissan grille, and a sharp rear light bar give the LEAF 2026 a modern, high-tech presence. Whether it’s parked at the Baie-Comeau marina or waiting outside the local market downtown, this is a car that turns heads without shouting.
Under the hood (or rather, under the floor), the LEAF rides on a brand-new platform derived from the Nissan Ariya. That means smoother handling, improved ride comfort, and more space for batteries.
Two battery options will be available:
🔋 52 kWh for urban commuting and daily life
🔋 75 kWh, offering up to 488 km of estimated range — perfect for round trips to Sept-Îles or a weekend in Tadoussac.
Even in mid-winter, performance remains solid thanks to active thermal management, which helps prevent cold-weather battery drain and slow charging speeds. In other words: yes, you can drive electric in Baie-Comeau — even in January.
Charging flexibility is also getting a major upgrade. The LEAF 2026 includes NACS (Tesla plug) compatibility in addition to the standard J1772 connector, opening the door to Tesla Superchargers across Québec.And if you’re out in nature — maybe picnicking near Chute aux Outardes or hiking the trails of Parc Nature — the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature lets you power small appliances or tools right from your car.
Whether you’re tackling everyday commutes or planning weekend escapes up the coast, there’s a LEAF that fits your lifestyle.

A lower-cost version with a 52 kWh battery is also in the works — ideal for those who stick mostly to local roads and short city drives.
From the first moment behind the wheel, the 2026 LEAF feels confident and refined. The 214-horsepower electric motor delivers instant torque, perfect for passing on Route 138 or climbing icy back roads to your favourite cabin.
The updated suspension absorbs bumps with ease, while the low center of gravity gives it excellent cornering — even on slick fall roads or snowy curves near Franquelin. And the ride? Whisper quiet, inside and out.
It’s not just talk: the 2026 Nissan LEAF has been named one of the Top 10 Powertrains of 2024 by WardsAuto, a respected industry authority. And yes — it was tested in real Québec winter conditions. So whether you’re heading to the arena for a Drakkar game or driving out to a frozen lake in February, you’re covered.
