The Nissan Leaf Returns with Porsche Taycan Features!

14 years ago, the Nissan Leaf pioneered the EV revolution as the first purpose-built electric production car. Now, the all-new third generation is here, and it's a monumental leap from its EV OG predecessor. In this episode, Robert returns to Denmark—the site of the original test drive—to see if the new Leaf lives up to the hype. The 2025/2026 Leaf ditches the old hatchback look for a crossover shape built on the dedicated CMF-EV platform. With a new 75 kWh battery, it boasts up to a 386-mile WLTP range (over 300 miles more than the original!) and much-needed liquid-cooled battery thermal management. Robert was particularly taken by the incredibly cool dimming panoramic roof and the map-aware regenerative braking system.
