Overview
- Nissan has opened orders in Japan for the Leaf Nismo, positioning it as the range’s flagship trim with unique exterior and interior treatment.
- The Leaf Nismo adds a pronounced bodykit, a ducktail spoiler, red trim accents and lightweight 19-inch Enkei wheels to emphasize a sportier look.
- Inside the cabin the car receives Nismo badges, red-stitched trim, custom digital graphics and optional power-adjustable Recaro performance seats.
- Nismo’s changes focus on handling with new springs, anti-roll bars, swing-valve dampers, reinforced subframe bushes, recalibrated steering and Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires rather than extra horsepower.
- Nissan kept the standard Leaf powertrains and front-wheel drive only, published Japanese pricing for two trims, and has not confirmed whether the Leaf Nismo will reach Europe or North America.
