Question:

Can you tell me if you have a no drill/no modify hitch for a 2015 Nissan Leaf S? Thank you.

The Curt Class I hitch you referenced, part # C11396, is confirmed as a fit for the 2015 model year Nissan Leaf. This is a light-duty Class I hitch rated for only 150-lbs of tongue weight. This is enough for use with a 2-bike rack or small cargo carrier as long as the total load on the hitch remains within its 150-lb rating.

Do please note that this hitch requires drilling and under-body panel trimming for installation on the 2015 model year.There is currently not a no-drilling hitch option for the 2015 Leaf.

I notice you were reviewing towing-related items also. Please note that I did not find any confirmed towing capacity shown for this vehicle. Your owner's manual will indicate if Nissan rates this car for use to pull a trailer; you will want to be certain that your particular Leaf has this capability before attempting to tow anything. Availability of a hitch for any given vehicle does not necessarily mean that vehicle is capable of towing.
