NCAP Safety Rating: 5 Stars (Expected)
Built on a high-rigidity EV platform, the 2026 Leaf comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360. This includes 7 airbags (including a front-center airbag), Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, and Blind Spot Intervention. Security is enhanced by the ProPILOT Assist system, which combines Steering Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control. A segment-first feature for the Leaf is "Secondary Collision Mitigation Braking," which applies brakes after an initial impact to prevent a second collision.
