Automaker Nissan has unveiled the first major update to its electric crossover (SUV) - the new Nissan Ariya, showcasing a design closer to the 2026 LEAF, UNN reports, citing Electrek.
Details
The 2026 Nissan Ariya will feature a new look, an updated infotainment system, and a smoother ride.
Nissan gave us a brief preview of the new electric crossover ahead of its official debut at the upcoming Japan Mobility Show.
The new Ariya lacks the black, closed grille and air intakes, giving it a cleaner, more minimalist look reminiscent of the third-generation LEAF. It also adopted the LEAF's slim, angular LED headlight design. Nissan stated that the new front-end design "exudes a more modern and high-quality feel."
While the front end has been fully revealed, it remains to be seen what the rear end will look like. Like the 2026 LEAF, it will likely feature smoother lines and updated headlights.
Nissan confirmed that the new electric crossover will be equipped with a new infotainment system with built-in Google. It will also feature a "car-to-load" (V2L) function. Both of these features are already implemented in the new LEAF.
According to Nissan, thanks to the updated suspension, the updated Ariya will be more comfortable to drive. More details on pricing, range, and other specifications will be available closer to the launch of sales.
The new Nissan Ariya will debut at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, which starts on October 31. It will appear in Japan later this fiscal year, followed by overseas markets. However, US residents will not see the update. Nissan is excluding the Ariya crossover from its 2026 US model lineup, focusing on the launch of the new LEAF. The automaker said it would continue to support current owners, but whether it will return for the 2027 model year is unclear.
Nissan said the 2026 LEAF will have the lowest starting MSRP of any new EV currently sold in the US, starting at just $29,990.
