Nissan Electric Vehicle News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
best price 2019 nissan leaf seattle washingtonGreat news, Seattle! Models of the all-new 2019 Nissan Leaf are arriving at our dealership and we’ve already had the opportunity to take customers on test drives to experience this plug-in’s zero-emissions performance. If you’ve been eagerly awaiting your turn behind the wheel, stop in and visit us at Kirkland Nissan this week!
 
Available in S, SV and SL trims, the 2019 Leaf’s pricing is the same as last year (starting at $29,990 MSRP), yet the vehicle now offers additional features, including a new safety system called Rear Door Alert. Parents especially love this inclusion because it uses a series of message displays and honks to remind drivers to check the back seat for kids and pets before leaving the vehicle unattended. 
 
The 2019 model also boasts a range of 150 miles (which equates to a 124 city and 99 highway mpg rating) and numerous driver-assist features, such as ProPilot Assist. With this system, you’ll never have to worry about wandering from your lane since its job is to keep the Leaf on course. ProPilot Assist is also complemented by Nissan’s e-pedal technology, which delivers stronger regenerative braking when you lift off the accelerator, making it easier to slow the car without having to apply pressure to the brake pedal. The 2019 Leaf truly is the wave of the future when it comes to semi-autonomous driving technologies!

It is also extremely quiet since the powerplant is mated to a single-speed transmission that doesn’t shift. With competent handling and well-weighted steering, you’ll feel like you are driving a traditional car, but without the need for expensive gasoline. The regenerative braking system on the Leaf was also designed with good pedal-feel in mind.

used nissan leaf dealer in seattle washingtonIf you’ve test driven the Toyota Prius or the Kia Optima Hybrid, but are holding out for a fully electric vehicle, consider the 2011 Nissan Leaf SV as your plug-in powered ride.
