Nissan's Sunderland factory will start producing the Leaf replacement in 2026 as it prepares for the “vast majority” of the cars it builds to be EVs by 2028, the company has said in a submission to a government committee on battery manufacturing in the UK.
Nissan first announced that it would build a new electric crossover to replace the Leaf hatchback back in 2021 but until now hadn't given a definitive date for production.
