Nissan has reclaimed the title of Canada's most affordable electric vehicle with the 2027 Leaf S, which starts at under CA$35,000. The new price undercuts the Kia EV3, which had recently taken the top spot for budget-friendly EVs in the Canadian market.
The move signals Nissan's return to the forefront of EV affordability in Canada. While the exact gap between the Leaf S and the EV3's pricing is not detailed in the announcement, the sub-CA$35,000 threshold is the key differentiator.
This development highlights the ongoing competition among automakers to win over price-sensitive EV buyers in Canada, where affordability remains a critical factor in accelerating electric vehicle adoption.
