The All-New 2026 Nissan LEAF Arriving Soon at Walser Nissan Burnsville

June 17th, 2025 by

Big news for EV fans in the Twin Cities—the completely redesigned 2026 Nissan LEAF is making its way to Walser Nissan Burnsville this fall, and it’s bringing game-changing updates for Minnesota drivers who are ready to embrace the future of electric mobility. With more range, faster charging, bold new styling, and cutting-edge tech, this next-generation LEAF is set to electrify the local market.

New Look, New Power, New Possibilities

The 2026 LEAF has been fully reimagined inside and out. This isn’t just a refresh—it’s a full-blown reinvention. The sleek new crossover-inspired design gives the LEAF a more athletic stance, while aerodynamic upgrades—including a lower roofline and drag coefficient of just 0.26—make it more efficient than ever. It’s a head-turner with function to match.

Under the hood (or rather, beneath the floor), the LEAF now offers a robust 75-kWh liquid-cooled battery and 214-horsepower motor, delivering up to 303 miles of range—perfect for both Burnsville commutes and weekend getaways up north. A 52-kWh variant will join the lineup in early 2026, offering a more affordable entry point with 174 horsepower and everyday practicality.

Fast Charging? No Problem.

Minnesotans know convenience matters—especially in winter. That’s why the 2026 LEAF includes dual charging ports: a standard J1772 Level 2 on the driver’s side, and a NACS fast-charge port on the passenger side, giving Burnsville drivers access to over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers nationwide. You can now go from 10% to 80% in as little as 35 minutes on a DC fast charger.

Interior That Works for Real Life

Step inside, and you’ll find one of the smartest cabins Nissan has ever created. Spacious second-row seating, up to 55.5 cu. ft. of cargo space, and available 64-color ambient lighting make this a seriously livable EV. The optional dimming panoramic moonroof adds a touch of luxury—without compromising efficiency in cold weather.

Tech lovers will appreciate the new dual-display layout. LEAF S and S+ models come with dual 12.3-inch screens, while SV+ and PLATINUM+ trims get dual 14.3-inch displays with Google built-in, including Maps, Assistant, and Play Store. Plus, Plug & Charge compatibility, remote charging management via the MyNISSAN app, and access to 100,000+ chargers across the U.S. make staying powered up easier than ever.

Ready for Minnesota Winters

The 2026 LEAF was built with Minnesota in mind. A new thermal management system paired with a standard energy-efficient heat pump ensures your battery and cabin stay warm even on subzero days. Safety features like Nissan Safety Shield® 360, ProPILOT Assist, and a new 3D Around View Monitor help you handle icy roads and tight parking with confidence.

Be Among the First to Drive the Future

With the 2026 Nissan LEAF, Nissan isn’t just updating a classic—they’re setting a new standard for everyday electric driving. And Walser Nissan Burnsville will be among the first dealerships in the region to receive inventory this fall. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your current EV or finally make the switch, this is the moment to get plugged in.
