Nissan has decided to pull the plug on the $25,000 version of its Nissan Leaf electric car that was supposed to be released this year.
The Japanese company confirmed in a statement to USA TODAY that it no longer plans to produce the S-level trim of its Nissan Leaf, which would have had a starting price of $25,360.
Nissan in the statement said it "continually evaluates market trends, customer preferences, and the evolving EV landscape to ensure we are focusing our resources where they create the most value."
"As part of that process, we have decided not to introduce the smaller battery variant of the 2026 Nissan LEAF in the U.S. and Canada this model year," the car company said in the statement. "We remain committed to delivering the right products at the right time, and we will continue to assess future battery configurations based on customer demand and segment needs."
Nissan is currently advertising the S+ as the lowest trim for the 2026 Leaf, which the company says starts at $29,990. The most expensive trim of the car is the Platinum, which Nissan said will start at $38,990.
