Breaking: Nissan Reveals 2026 Leaf S Pricing, Set to Be America’s Cheapest EV at $25,360

Nissan has officially announced the pricing for its entry-level 2026 Leaf S, set to redefine affordability in the electric vehicle market. With a starting MSRP of just $25,360 before incentives, the 2026 Leaf S is poised to become America’s most affordable EV upon its arrival.
This aggressive pricing strategy positions the Leaf S significantly below its next trim, the S+, by $4,630, and even undercuts the previous generation’s S model by $2,780. The reveal comes weeks after Nissan detailed pricing for other 2026 Leaf trims, solidifying the full lineup’s competitive standing.
While higher trims like the S+, SV+, and Platinum+ are slated for delivery in Fall 2025, the base Leaf S is expected to reach US showrooms in Spring 2026. The 2026 Leaf lineup also boasts a sleeker fastback crossover design, an updated cabin with dual digital displays, and for all US models, a NACS port for Tesla Supercharger access and V2L functionality.
The base Leaf S will feature a 52 kWh battery and a 174 hp motor, while the S+, SV+, and Platinum+ versions come with a larger 75 kWh battery, offering up to 303 miles of EPA-estimated range and a more powerful 215 hp motor. This strategic pricing and feature set aim to broaden EV accessibility, challenging previous notions about the cost of electric mobility.
