2026 Nissan Leaf unveiled, now gets upto 600 km of range

Hindustan Times5 hours ago

Nissan has unveiled the 2026 Leaf in the global market. For this generation, the manufacturer has made some drastic changes in terms of styling, charging and driving range. The Leaf has been spotted on our roads several times, but there are no plans to bring it to the Indian market. Since its global debut in 2010, the Nissan LEAF has become a popular choice in the electric vehicle segment, with nearly 7,00,000 units sold.
Bold Design Meets Advanced Aerodynamics
Crafted at Nissan's Global Design Studio in Japan, the all-new Leaf showcases a sleek silhouette and a drag coefficient of just 0.25, making it one of the most aerodynamically efficient vehicles in its class. Features like flush door handles, a streamlined roofline, and sculpted surfaces enhance the visual appeal. Despite its compact dimensions, ideal for city navigation, the car boasts an impressive 437-litre boot and a spacious cabin tailored for family life.
The interior is reflected with premium materials, ambient lighting, and ergonomic design. A dimming panoramic glass roof, distinct 3D rear lamps, and alloy wheels ranging up to 19 inches reinforce the Leaf's premium yet practical identity.
The interior now features dual screens along with Bose sound system.
Range and Smarter Charging
The Leaf offers two battery options and supports fast charging up to 150 kW, enabling up to 417 km of range in just 30 minutes. On highways, it delivers over 330 km at 130 km/h. Intelligent battery thermal management paired with an integrated Google Maps-based Route Planner ensures efficient energy use and optimised charging, even during cold weather.
Beyond driving, Leaf's Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability can power devices like grills or lights during outdoor adventures. With future-ready Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) support, the car could one day contribute power back to the grid, helping users cut energy costs and support sustainability.

Seamless Technology and Driver Confidence
Built on Nissan's CMF-EV modular platform, the new Leaf combines dynamic performance with refined comfort. Driver-centric technologies include ProPILOT Assist with Navi-Link, a 3D Around View Monitor, and intelligent regenerative braking for smooth one-pedal driving. Google built-in provides hands-free access to navigation, media, and vehicle controls via dual 14.3-inch displays.
The NissanConnect Services app offers remote access to essential functions such as charging status, route planning, and climate control. Premium features like Bose Personal Plus audio and over-the-air updates ensure the Leaf stays current with evolving tech trends.

Modi's 11 years: Major feats accompanied big minuses

The assessment of Narendra Modi's 11 years as Prime Minister, however fair and balanced, runs the risk of being disparaged by one ideological camp or the other. Yet, a nuanced and objective analysis of such an important person is imperative, particularly given Modi's significant impact on India's political, economic, and social landscape. One cannot deny that his tenure has seen several notable achievements, particularly in areas like economic management, infrastructure development, national defense, and internal security. From the outset, his administration emphasised fiscal prudence. Despite global headwinds, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indian economy has shown resilience. Major economic reforms such as the implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code were important structural steps, even if their execution faced challenges. The push for digital payments, particularly through the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), has made India a global leader in fintech innovation. Infrastructure development has also been a cornerstone of Modi's governance. Highways, airports, and railways have seen major expansion, and the electrification of villages has proceeded at an impressive pace. The Gati Shakti initiative aimed at integrating infrastructure planning and execution is one of the more ambitious and strategic moves in recent years. In terms of national defence, Operation Sindoor and earlier surgical strikes in response to cross-border terrorism reflect a more assertive military and diplomatic posture. Modi's government has been keen on portraying India as a rising global power, with a more muscular foreign policy and defense strategy. On internal security, one of the least discussed yet significant achievements of the Modi government have been the near elimination of the Maoist insurgency in central and eastern India. What was once a serious internal security challenge now appears to have been brought under control, thanks in part to coordinated security operations and development initiatives in affected regions. However, the Modi era has also raised serious concerns in several areas critical to a healthy democracy. Press freedom has increasingly come under threat, with India falling in global press freedom rankings. Journalists critical of the government often face intimidation, legal harassment, or worse. The space for dissent has noticeably shrunk, with prominent civil society organizations and activists finding themselves under scrutiny, raids, or incarceration. Individual freedoms and civil liberties have also faced challenges. In Jammu and Kashmir, the abrogation of Article 370 was a significant political move, but the prolonged communications blackout and detentions that followed raised serious questions about democratic norms. Equally troubling has been the apparent weakening of institutions. The autonomy of the Election Commission, judiciary, and investigative agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is being questioned. The agencies like ED and CBI have frequently been accused of targeting Opposition leaders. In conclusion, Modi's tenure as Prime Minister has been a complex and consequential chapter in India's history. His government has made undeniable progress in economic modernization, infrastructure, national security, and internal order. Yet, these gains have come amid concerns over shrinking democratic space, erosion of institutional independence, and constraints on freedoms. Whether history ultimately judges his legacy favorably will depend on which of these competing forces—development or democratic regression—ends up defining the long-term trajectory of the nation. For now, a fair assessment would characterize his record as mixed but remains satisfactory.
