Nissan blends legacy with innovation, offering everything from budget-friendly models to the awe-inspiring GT-R. With sleek sedans like the Altima and versatile SUVs such as the Rogue, it meets modern drivers’ needs for comfort, performance, and practicality. In 2026, New Yorkers seeking value and style will find leasing a Nissan more compelling than ever, as the brand’s refreshed lineup and leasing incentives take center stage in a surging market. Here’s a breakdown of the major updates in Nissan’s lineup for the 2026 model year.
Rogue Hybrid
Nissan is set to introduce the 2026 Rogue Hybrid, a plug-in model powered by a 2.4-liter engine paired with dual electric motors. According to the Japanese automaker, it will deliver 248 horsepower and up to 38 miles of electric-only driving. Borrowing its setup from the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, it’s expected to launch in late 2025. Interestingly, this debut comes just ahead of a full redesign planned for 2027, making the hybrid a short-lived but strategic addition.
Leaf
The redesigned 2026 Nissan Leaf arrives as a sleek compact SUV, ditching its hatchback roots for a more modern look and improved performance. Powered by a single front-wheel motor with up to 214 hp, it offers two battery options—52 kWh and 75 kWh—with a top range of 303 miles on the S+ trim. Charging is faster, features are richer, and pricing is expected to start in the mid-$30K range by fall 2025.
Sentra
The 2026 Nissan Sentra ushers in a bold redesign, stepping up as Nissan’s sole sedan offering with the expected phase-out of the Versa and Altima. The all-new Sentra sports a sleeker, Murano-inspired look and a slightly larger frame, it’s built to rival compact favorites like the Civic and Corolla. Under the hood, a turbocharged three-cylinder engine—likely borrowed from the Rogue—adds punch, while the cabin promises comfort, tech, and value in equal measure.
Armada
The 2026 Nissan Armada welcomes a bold new NISMO variant to beef up performance and style. Its twin-turbo V6 now delivers 460 horsepower, and is backed by a sport-tuned suspension and aggressive bodywork including unique bumpers, a rear spoiler, and 22-inch forged wheels. Inside, red-accented quilted leather and adjustable bolsters give the cabin a race-inspired edge, blending luxury with muscle in this full-size SUV’s most dynamic form yet.
