Big news from Nissan: the iconic LEAF is getting a major glow-up for 2025. And yes, it's making the leap from its long-standing hatchback roots into the ever-popular SUV space.
This isn’t just a facelift - it’s a full transformation. Nissan’s first mass-market EV is stepping boldly into a new era, with cutting-edge design, SUV practicality, and a serious tech upgrade.
Say goodbye to the compact LEAF you’re used to - the 2025 version is sleek, sharp, and SUV-shaped. It takes clear design cues from Nissan’s Chill-Out concept car, bringing in a more coupe-like silhouette, a sculpted front end, and a striking full-width light bar at the rear.
You'll also notice neat touches like flush-fitting front door handles and hidden rear handles tucked high on the C-pillar, giving the car a cleaner, more aerodynamic profile. It’s futuristic without being over-the-top - just the right balance of style and function.
Under the skin, the new LEAF sits on the same CMF-EV platform as the Nissan Ariya. That means we’re likely to see a choice of two battery options - possibly around 63kWh and 87kWh - offering estimated ranges from around 280 miles up to over 350 miles, depending on the version you go for.
And when it’s time to plug in? Charging speeds of up to 130kW should mean a top-up from 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes - perfect for quick turnarounds on the go.
The interior is expected to follow the clean, high-tech style seen in Nissan’s Ariya SUV. We’re talking dual digital screens, streamlined dash design, and physical controls integrated neatly into the trim.
Even better, the new LEAF will likely come equipped with a Google-powered infotainment system, giving you built-in maps, apps, voice control, and more - all in a driver-friendly layout.
Nissan is keeping the production of the new LEAF close to home, continuing to build it at their Sunderland plant here in the UK. This factory is also set to produce the next-generation Juke and the first-ever electric Qashqai, making it a real hub for Nissan’s electric future.
The 2025 Nissan LEAF is no longer just a trailblazer - it’s stepping up to compete with the best in the EV SUV market. With modern styling, impressive range, and a host of tech upgrades, this LEAF is set to attract a whole new generation of drivers looking to make the switch to electric.
