Design and Interior
The exterior features a streamlined design with flush motorized door handles, a curving roofline with a katana blade element inspired by the Nissan Z, and a segment-first dimming panoramic roof.
Inside, the cabin includes dual displays (12.3 inches in S/S+; 14.3 inches in SV+/PLATINUM+), an open flat-floor layout, and redesigned seats for improved rear passenger space.
Inside, the LEAF combines advanced technology with a more open and spacious cabin design.
