Nissan Electric Vehicle News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Are you looking to downsize from your minivan into something more eco-friendly? Why not consider the 2018 Nissan Leaf SL as your next family vehicle? This next-gen all-electric plug-in performer runs solely on battery power, while also offering many high-tech features that promise to add to your comfort and convenience on the road.
 
 
The 2018 Leaf is bolstered by a 110-kW AC synchronous electric motor, which powers the 40-kWh lithium-ion battery pack for a total of 147 horses and 236 lb-ft of torque. Combined, this allows the front-wheel drive EV to achieve a 150-mile range on a single charge, which is the farthest that any Leaf model has traveled. Refreshing the battery is a snap too since it is equipped with a standard 6.6-kW onboard charger, which requires just 40 minutes to recharge to 80 percent.
 
On the exterior, the top-of-the-line SL trim boasts 17-inch alloy wheels, foglights and unique turn signals in its door mirrors, while the interior is outfitted with leather seating for added luxury. On cool summer nights, the front seats and steering wheel are heated, while the Bose audio system with seven speakers is there for your family’s musical enjoyment.

A key highlight of the Leaf SL is the standard surround-view camera system, which provides added confidence in tight parking lots. A cargo cover also helps to conceal the hatchback’s 23.6 cubic feet of trunk space.

Under its sleek silhouette, which has been enhanced to look like a high-tech device, the 2018 Leaf features an improved 110-kW AC synchronous electric motor with front-wheel drive, which produces 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque.

If you are looking for an all-electric vehicle delivering great performance and agility on urban roads, the 2018 Nissan Leaf S is a natural choice. New for this model year, Nissan made some key improvements to the chassis and body of the hatch, which are sure to enhance your enjoyment on Seattle’s roads.
 
 
To start, Nissan engineers boosted the car's chassis for better stability. Heavy components, including the battery, were moved to the center of the vehicle’s body, which allow the vehicle to achieve smaller yaw moments of inertia. The result is better directional stability, which translates to smoother cornering.
 
Additionally, the 2018 Leaf’s electric power steering system was augmented for a more linear feel with better road feedback, while the urethane bump stop for the rear suspension was replaced by a rubber stop to reduce bumpiness on uneven terrain. The all-new Leaf is also equipped with Intelligent Ride Control for more precise electric motor torque regulation when cornering, thus reducing vibration while concurrently improving ride quality and steering responses.
 
Match all of this re-engineering with the 2018 Leaf’s improved 110 kW electric motor and 40 kWh Lithium-ion battery with an enhanced 150-mile range – it sure is tough to find a compelling reason to not test drive the world’s best-selling plug-in vehicle!

If your search for an all-electric vehicle delivering exceptional range and a huge suite of driver assist features has led you to the 2018 Nissan Leaf SV, you’ve come to the right place. Re-designed this year, the world’s best-selling plug-in delivers more power, mileage and tech than ever before.
 
 
The 2018 Leaf is anchored by a 110-kW AC synchronous electric motor with front-wheel drive, which produces 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. The 40-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which is tucked in nicely under the cabin floor, has been enhanced and now boasts a 150-mile range, allowing the Leaf to travel longer distances than previously. When it’s time to top up the battery, the standard 6.6-kW onboard charger will need about 40 minutes to re-charge to 80 percent (when using a 50-kW CHAdeMO DC fast charger). Long periods of downtime are now a thing of the past!
 
The SV trim is also chock full of high-tech equipment for even more comfort, convenience and protection on Seattle’s roads. This includes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, which automatically senses vehicles in front of you and adjusts cruising speeds with the right amount of acceleration or deceleration. Nissan’s ProPILOT is also standard and uses autonomous driving technologies, which help to keep the Leaf centered and on-course.

Does the idea of driving a vehicle with an alternative fuel source pique your interest? If so, a 2018 Nissan Leaf S might just be your next plug-in car. Known as the best-selling EV across the globe, the Leaf is super-efficient and boasts a longer range than previous model year options.
 
 
Under its aerodynamic exterior, the 2018 Leaf S is powered by a 40-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, which fuels the motor to create 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Combined, this allows the all-electric vehicle to operate a full 150 miles before needing to recharge, which is almost twice the distance as the first-gen model, which was unveiled seven years ago. 
 
When it does come time to recharge, the 2018 Leaf uses a 6.6-kilowatt onboard charger that will have you up and running to 80 percent power in about 40 minutes when using a 50-kw CHAdeMO DC fast charger. However, with a 240-volt Level 2 station, charging time will increase to about 8 hours, which is considered average for the segment.

best price 2018 nissan leaf seattle washingtonIf you've had your eye on a Nissan Leaf, but haven't been able to pull the plug (so to speak), now is a great time to own this all-electric vehicle. For 2018, the next generation Leaf has been improved every way over previous models - it's better looking, offers more power and battery range, and it boasts a lower purchase price compared to last year.
 
Let's start with the styling. New for its next-gen design, the Leaf now sports a more conventional look akin to its gas-powered counterparts. The curvaceous shape and bug-eyed front lights of yesteryear have been replaced with sleeker lines, which are more reminiscent of Nissan's traditional design cues. The only indication of its electric powertrain is the wide charging port door, which remains centered on the nose of the vehicle, just above the grille.
 
Hidden under the cabin floor is a 40-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, which powers the 110-kilowatt motor, producing 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. This ups the Leaf's performance by leaps and bounds, delivering 40 more horses and 49 more lb-ft of torque compared to the 2017 model. Plus, the 2018 Leaf now boasts a range of 150 miles and an energy-efficiency rating of 112 mpge, which is another gain from previous generations.
 
But, one thing the 2018 Leaf didn't inflate is its price. According to The Car Connection, the cost of the EV fell as its range rose, which isn't something we often see in the automotive industry. It's also $7,000 cheaper than the Chevrolet Bolt EV. Now that's something to celebrate!
