Nissan Reveals Nismo Performance Trim of Leaf EV
Nissan says the performance-tuned EV starts at 6,601,100 yen and adds exclusive styling, suspension upgrades and three model choices.
- Nissan launched the Nissan Leaf Nismo in Japan as an "agile intelligent sport crossover," offering three trim levels starting from 6,601,100 yen.
- The Leaf began as a battery-powered passenger car in 2010, but the 2026 redesign changed the paradigm, making a performance-oriented Nismo version hard to imagine just a few years ago.
- Sporty upgrades include Michelin Pilot Sport tires on 19-inch Enkei wheels, while higher grades feature Recaro seats and power outputs reaching 215 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque.
- Regenerative braking control paddles enhance driving dynamics, while Sport mode claims to "deliver powerful, linear acceleration unique to an electric motor vehicle," making the Nismo "feel lighter and more agile than its size and weight would suggest."
- For now, Nissan will only offer the performance variant in Japan; the automaker has not announced plans for an America release, though the performance upgrades appear compatible with the existing platform.
