As an urban driver, you are not a rookie when it comes to tricky parallel parking maneuvers or too-tight underground garages. But, even with regular practice, these everyday scenarios can cause a great deal of angst.Â

Thankfully, Nissan is here to remedy your parking woes with the 2018 Leaf SL. This plug-in all-electric vehicle comes equipped with an Intelligent Around View Monitor, providing a virtual birds-eye view for your peace of mind.

With this technology, youâ€™ll never have to bail on your shopping trip or settle for the more expensive valet lot since the Leaf will guide you safely into even the toughest of spots. It uses four cameras equipped to the front, rear and sides of the vehicle to provide a composite bird's-eye view in the dashâ€™s display. The Intelligent Around View Monitor also uses helpful guides to keep you away from curbs or inside your lanes as you approach a parking spot, plus it detects pedestrians or other obstacles when you back out.

Are you wanting to give up your gas-guzzling V6 sedan in favor of a vehicle with an electric powertrain, but donâ€™t have a Tesla budget to support such a purchase? Why not consider the 2018 Nissan Leaf SV instead! With newer lower pricing and oodles of enhancements to its battery and motor, the Leaf allows drivers to go farther on less.

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. The 40-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which was moved to the center of the vehicle for better stability, now boasts a 150-mile range, allowing the Leaf to travel farther than ever before. Charging is managed by a standard 6.6-kW onboard charger, which requires only 40 minutes to refresh a battery to 80 percent.

The SV trim rides on upgraded 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, which are complemented by the exterior foglights for a slick appearance. Inside, a leather-wrapped steering wheel ensures your comfort, as does the Automatic Temperature Control with HVAC timer, allowing you to pre-heat/pre-cool the cabin. Youâ€™ll love the convenience features as well, such as the 7.0-inch capacitive touch-screen display, NissanConnect with Navigation featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, NissanConnect Services Powered by SiriusXM, and Intelligent Cruise Control.

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 Seattleâ€™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 vehicleâ€™s body, which allowÂ the vehicle toÂ achieve smaller yaw moments of inertia. The result is better directional stability, which translates to smoother cornering.

Additionally, the 2018 Leafâ€™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 Leafâ€™s improved 110 kW electric motor and 40 kWh Lithium-ion battery with an enhanced 150-mile range â€“ it sure is tough to find a compelling reason to not test drive the worldâ€™s best-selling plug-in vehicle!
