Nissan Electric Vehicle News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
2018 nissan leaf dealer in seattle washingtonIf you are in the market for a new all-electric vehicle, but are basing your decision solely on the brand with the most established reputation, then look no further to the 2018 Nissan Leaf SL. This EV has been on Seattle’s roads since 2011 and quickly earned itself a top spot on the sales charts. Just this year, an all-new next-gen version of the Leaf was unveiled, bringing with it a more powerful electric powerplant and increased range.
 
The 2018 Leaf SL is anchored by a 40-kWh laminated lithium-ion battery hidden under the cabin floor, which generates power to the high-response 110-kW AC synchronous electric motor. Together, this allows the EV to produce a remarkable 147 horses and 236 lb-ft of torque, which is more robust than past models. The driving distance increased as well, netting motorists an EPA-estimated range of 150 miles. 
 
Nissan also improved the EV’s design with a low, sleek profile that gives it a sharp, dynamic look. Familiar styling features also include the brand’s signature boomerang-shaped lamps and V-Motion flow in the front. The SL trim is appointed with outside heated mirrors with integrated turn signals on the exterior as well, along with leather-appointed heated seats in the cabin, which are six-way power for the driver. Safety features on this model include ProPILOT Assist and e-Pedal technologies.
 
Upgrade your ride to the well-respected zero-emission 2018 Leaf. To learn more about this model, including pricing and specs, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, for details.
nissan leaf for sale in seattle washingtonIf you’ve been considering an all-electric vehicle as your next commuter, but are concerned about range and ease of charging, allow us to quell your apprehensions with a test drive in a 2016 Nissan Leaf SL. This preowned plug-in is made for Seattle drivers with its 107-mile range and 6.6 kW standard charger.
 
The Leaf SL is anchored by an 80-kW motor, which uses a 30-kWh lithium-ion battery pack as its source of power. As it takes to city streets and fast-flowing highways, it produces an impressive 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, which is quite exceptional for a vehicle that doesn’t use traditional fossil fuels. It’s snappy too, reaching 60 mph in just 10.2 seconds.
 
As mentioned, the SL trim comes equipped with a 6.6 kW charger, which can refresh a depleted battery to 100 percent capacity in about six hours. But, if that’s not fast enough, the Leaf SL is also fitted with a standard Quick Charge Port, which can charge a battery to 80 percent in about 30 minutes when using a CHAdeMO fast charger. Many urban areas are equipped with these public stations, making it easier for drivers to juice up their Leaf while on-the-go.

Are you considering an all-electric plug-in as your next vehicle, but prefer to buy preowned before committing to a new model? If so, a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV is a nice compromise. This zero-emissions EV will ease you into all-electric driving, while also offering great range and a host of high-tech features that you expect in a car.
 
 
The 2016 Leaf is powered by a 30-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which feeds the 80-kW electric motor to generate 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. Compared to older model Nissan plug-ins, this EV can travel 27 percent farther with a total range of 107 miles. When it’s time to refresh the battery, the SV trim includes a 6.6 kW onboard charger, which will get you up and running in about five hours. For most Seattle commuters and errand runners, this is more than adequate.
 
Inside, the Leaf SV is decked out with some cool tech inclusions, like a 7-inch central touchscreen with navigation and a Nissan Connect EV telematics system, which remotely monitors your charging status. There’s also heated front seats and a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel for your comfort, along with heated power sideview mirrors and a back-up camera for your convenience.
 
Transition into EV life in the most sensible plug-in possible. To schedule your test drive in a preowned Leaf, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington.
If you’re on a quest to reduce your carbon footprint and swap your commuter for something more efficient, consider a 2013 Nissan Leaf SV as your first plug-in vehicle. This preowned performer features an all-electric powertrain with zero emissions, making it a smart choice for eco-conscious Seattle drivers.
 
 
The 2013 Leaf is bolstered by a 24-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, which stores energy to generate the 80-kilowatt electric motor. It creates 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, which is quite potent for a first-generation plug-in vehicle. This equates to great on-road acceleration – in fact, in Edmunds performance tests, the Leaf went from zero to 60 mph in 10.2 seconds, which is almost segment leading. Range is respectable too, coming in at 75 miles on a single charge.
 
When it's time to refresh the battery, the SV trim is equipped with an upgraded 6.6-kilowatt onboard charger, which will have you up and running in less time (about four hours) compared to the base model. You can even track your EV’s charging status on the Leaf’s smartphone app. How cool is that? Additional standard features also include a 7-inch touchscreen, a navigation system, cruise control and an auto-dimming rearview mirror for your comfort and convenience.
