For several years, the Nissan Leaf hatchback led the charge in global EV sales after it went into production all the way back in 2010. Next year, it's getting more than a facelift: it'll arrive first in the US and Canada as a compact SUV.

A stylish new Leaf EV, now confirmed for the U.S., and hybrid and PHEV versions of the Rogue, are part of a more extensive product refresh for Nissan in more than a decade.
