Mitsubishi has officially announced its partnership with Nissan to develop a new battery electric vehicle (BEV). This exciting model, inspired by the next-generation Nissan Leaf, will debut in the U.S. and Canada by summer 2026:
- Collaborative Force: Partnering with Nissan, using the new Leaf as the foundation.
- Launch Timeline: Set for summer 2026, available at dealerships across North America.
- Design Insights: Early images suggest a vehicle reminiscent of the new Leaf, especially with its headlight design and vehicle profile. Much like how the Mitsubishi Outlander (based on the Nissan Rogue platform) stands out, you can expect unique Mitsubishi styling.
- Performance Expectations: While full details are still pending, we can anticipate:
- Range: At least 300 miles.
- Charging: Compatibility with Tesla Superchargers using a NACS charge port.
More detailed information about both the Mitsubishi EV and the new Leaf is expected later this year.
