Finally, Mitsubishi<\/a> is bringing a new EV to the US. Mitsubishi confirmed plans to launch a new EV in North America that will be based on the next-gen Nissan LEAF. Here\u2019s what we know so far.<\/p>\n

Mitsubishi will use the Nissan LEAF for its new EV<\/h2>\n

Earlier this year, Mitsubishi told US dealers (via Automotive News<\/a><\/em>) that a new EV would arrive in 2026. Sources said the new electric car will closely resemble Nissan\u2019s updated LEAF.<\/p>\n

The company officially announced its upcoming EV on Tuesday, giving us a better idea of what to expect. Mitsubishi confirmed its upcoming EV will, in fact, be based on the new Nissan LEAF<\/a>. The Japanese automakers will work together to launch it across the US and Canada as part of Mitsubishi\u2019s long-term growth plan.<\/p>\n

Nissan revealed the third-gen LEAF<\/a> in March, upgrading it in nearly every way. The new Nissan LEAF drops the iconic hatch design for a crossover and includes a native NACS port to access Tesla Superchargers.<\/p>\n

The updated LEAF will arrive in the US and Canada later this year as one of ten new or refreshed vehicles from Nissan and its luxury Infiniti brand.<\/p>\n

As part of its North American growth strategy, dubbed Momentum 2030<\/a>, Mitsubishi will launch \u201ca new or significantly revised vehicle every year between 2026 and 2030,\u201d starting with the 2025 Outlander.<\/p>\n

Mark Chaffin, president and CEO of Mitsubishi\u2019s North American operations, said after launching the new business plan (Momentum 2030), dealers were asking \u201cfor more concrete timing and plans.\u201d <\/p>\n

Chaffin added that today\u2019s announcement \u201cis the first of many to come that reinforce our commitment to the US market. \u201c<\/p>\n

Mitsubishi\u2019s North American sales rose 11% year-over-year (YOY) in the first quarter to 31,637 units. Chaffin said the new EV will diversify its lineup with \u201ca blend of internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles.\u201d The company will share more details, including prices and specs, closer to launch in Summer 2026.<\/p>\n
