It’s the highest of expectations - with critics tallying every pre-order, calculating potential sales and possible profits. The 2018 LEAF is revving toward Seattle; and behind it trails a long shadow, with the success of its predecessors looming. Can this platform continue the record-breaking pace Nissan has set within the EV market?

We think it can.


According to CNET, anticipation is mounting for the 2018 LEAF - with 13,000 units pre-ordered for the United States. This is an unprecedented number, with none of the previous Nissan platforms delivering such high interest; and critics believe that (when the hatchback arrives later this year) it will zip to the top of the charts.

The Kirkland team agrees. On January 1st we were thrilled to debut the 2018 LEAF to our customers - and the response was both immediate and enthusiastic. Drivers were thrilled by this platform’s innovative all-electric powertrain (which combines a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery with a 110-kW synchronous motor) and exclusive e-pedal system (which eliminates the traditional brake and accelerator design, blending them together instead for a single control unit). The promise of a 100% off-the-line torque experience left them amazed, with all 236 lb.-ft maximized for quick accelerations; while the 240-volt outlet yields charge times as low as one hour.

The 2018 LEAF is poised to dominate the Seattle market - and we can’t wait to see this platform purring down every street. To learn more contact us today.

2018 LEAF Leads Nissan To Sales Milestone In Seattle

Above the Nissan threshold once waited a neon sign - its border lined in red, its face angrily glowing. Across its insides read 300,000 and every zero blazed with fluorescent intensity. This was a milestone that none thought obtainable, a goal no one believed achievable; and each day the number flashed its disappointment.

That has (finally) changed.

According to Electrek, Nissan has just delivered its 300,000 LEAF to the market - making it the world’s best-selling EV platform! Strong responses in the United States and Japan have propelled this hatchback to the top of the charts; and no competitor (including Ford’s Fusion, Toyota’s Prius, or Chevrolet's Malibu Hybrid) has managed to secure such staggering month-to-month growth: with critics noting a jump from 1,457 units in November 2017 to 1,899 units in December 2017.

These numbers prove undeniably impressive - and, with the impending release of the 2018 LEAF, we expect Nissan to remain the leading EV brand. Anchored by a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery, this platform will yield 124 MPGe in the city and 101 MPGe on the highway. Its 150-mile all-electric range will prove perfect for daily commuters, sparing them frequent station visits; while its 147 HP powertrain will ensure peppy traveling. The next generation of performance is on its way.

We believe 300,000 will soon be replaced with 400,000 - with the LEAF leading the sales charge.

This week, the Nissan Leaf reached a major milestone. In just seven short years of production, the EV hit the 300,000 mark for global sales. Unsurprisingly, this news cements the Leaf’s position as the world’s best-selling electric vehicle and a favorite here on North American soil.
 
"These numbers prove that the Nissan Leaf remains the most advanced car in the world, with the widest reach and the greatest availability,” said Nissan’s Executive VP Daniele Schillaci in a company statement. “The new Nissan Leaf is the icon of Nissan Intelligent Mobility because it delivers an even more exciting drive and enhanced ownership experience. It will take Nissan's EV leadership even further."
 
Over the last seven years, sales for the Leaf have been incredibly strong, but we expect to see numbers climb even higher as EV enthusiasts eagerly await the next-gen model, which will feature an all-new range of 150 miles and an enhanced 40 kilowatt-hour battery pack. The 2018 Leaf will also come equipped with ProPILOT Assist, ProPILOT Park, and e-Pedal, offering drivers even more refinement, comfort and convenience when behind the wheel.
 
 
To learn more about the Leaf EV and its strong sales history and reputation, contact us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington. Next-gen models are expected to arrive this month – be sure to pre-schedule your test drive by calling us today.

The time has come, Seattle! Soon Kirkland Nissan will open its doors - ushering in a new generation of all-electric performance. Join us as we unveil the 2018 LEAF.

For days we’ve been readying our lot - gathering door prizes, hanging banners, ensuring that every detail proves perfect. As the only dealership in the United States to feature the new LEAF, we wanted to set the stage for an event like no other; and now it’s time to turn on the spotlight. From 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. we’ll showcase Nissan’s latest (and greatest) EV platform. Watch as we pull back the curtain and reveal the true potential of lithium-ion power.


The 2018 LEAF promises a new era of performance. Bolstered by an advanced linear drivetrain, this platform offers an electric range of 150 miles. Its EMS7 motor generates a responsive 147 HP and 236 lb.-ft of torque; while the 40-kWh lithium-ion battery offers smart-charging capabilities, requiring a mere 40 minutes to achieve an 80% burst of power. The nimble profile (defined by a 60.6-inch front track and a 61.2-inch rear, respectively) weaves between Seattle traffic with ease, utilizing its aerodynamic panels for a smooth 8-second 0 to 60 rev.

This zero-emission hatch will prove a welcome addition to the Washington highways - and we can’t wait to highlight its many features to our customers.

We’ll see you soon!

2018 Nissan LEAF Promises Smooth Handling In Seattle

Washington rarely proves forgiving to hatchbacks - with its winding roads straining every steering system, undermining stability through rocky inclines and sudden turns. Drivers move shakily through every mile, struggling always to adapt to the constant changes.

Kirkland Nissan is pleased to announce a solution to this problem - with the 2018 LEAF delivering sterling handling on the highways and backroads alike.


Join us tomorrow as we unveil the 2018 LEAF to Seattle. This Nissan EV will redefine everyday travel, offering smooth transitions with each press of the e-pedal. Its 192-cell battery pack has been thoughtfully positioned within the center of the chassis, with its heft used to improve inertia and stabilize the drivetrain. The electric-power column has been precisely calibrated to control every responses; while the integration of logic-working software helps to identify the best position alignments (thereby improving cornering). A stiff torsion bar further enhances performance, reducing the chance of under-steerage.

Nissan adapts to the uncertainty of Washington roads, fusing its LEAF with rubber stops along the rear suspension. This helps to lessen the impact of potholes and other pavement flaws - ensuring a seamless cabin experience. Traveling will soon be far simpler.

The miles prove precarious - with you forced to battle frantic traffic patterns and fickle weather, rolling forward on unsteady roads. Even the simplest of journeys demands your utmost attention; and your eyes are forever glancing between mirrors, trying to spy every possible obstacle. It’s… exhausting.

Nissan agrees - which is why it’s bolstered the 2018 LEAF with a dynamic safety suite. No longer will you endure those long miles alone. Instead you’ll have the power of automation to guide you home.


On January 1st we’ll reveal the 2018 LEAF’s many safety systems to Seattle. Our team is excited to showcase these features, knowing that they’ll provide true value to our customers. Intelligent Emergency Braking utilizes advanced sensors to recognize potential concerns and smoothly engages the ABS to decrease speed. Lane departure warnings monitor road alignment, releasing a series of audio cues to remind drivers to shift their positions; while blind spot monitoring software detects approaching obstacles.

Inside, the 2018 LEAF boasts the Intelligent Around View monitor - which delivers high-definition pixels and 360-degree camera angles to reduce the chance of collision. It enables drivers to carefully reverse, utilizing Moving Object Detection technology to warn of pedestrians and vehicles alike. Navigating the Seattle streets will prove far easier.

The new year is approaching - and we intend to greet it with electric power. Join us on January 1st as we unveil the 2018 Nissan LEAF!


Kirkland Nissan is thrilled to announce that we’ve been gifted the 2018 LEAF.

These elements combine to deliver an economical ride, granting drivers 124 MPGe in the city and 101 MPGe on the highway.

Impressed? We certainly are - which is why we can’t wait to introduce our customers to the new LEAF. Come to our dealership on January 1st and discover true EV power.

We’ll Soon Reveal The Sleek Style Of The 2018 Nissan LEAF To Seattle

Utilitarian proves a common word within the EV market - with every interior stripped to the essentials, providing drivers with efficient (but dull) designs. The materials are hard; the dash is bare; and there’s not a hint of style to be found in the vinyl trims and endless plastics.

Kirkland Nissan believes that our customers deserve something more - which is why we’re thrilled to introduce the 2018 LEAF to Seattle.


Visit our showroom on January 1st and discover premium style. We’ll unveil the new Nissan LEAF, helping to shatter preconceptions about EV interiors. This platform is tailored to impress, with its Gliding Wing silhouette creating a dynamic cabin shape. Vibrant blue stitching punctuates the seats and door trims, while a 7-inch display screen anchors the swooping dashboard. Illuminated touch controls (including a shift finisher) provide a sophisticated effect; chrome accents define the steering wheel; and an abundance of matte-finishes enhances every soft-touch surface.

The 2018 LEAF is no mere hatchback. It’s instead a thoughtfully styled option for the eco-conscious - with its chic coloring (choose from eight unique combinations, including two-tone white-and-black) perfectly complementing the next-gen profile.

It’s a sudden network failure - with a car’s hot-spots fizzling and a smartphone screen going dim. You scowl, wondering how you’re meant to endure this trek toward the horizon without your digital companions. The real world, after all, holds little appeal.

The 2018 LEAF (which is making its official dealership debut in our showroom) boasts an advanced infotainment suite - offering drivers the virtuality they crave. Wireless Bluetooth links fill the cabin, ensuring effortless media streaming. The center-stacked 7-inch Connect touchscreen provides crisp visuals, while newly integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technologies maximize every social feed (effortlessly scan your favorite sites, engage with search engines, and download content). Interfacing proves easy, with the platform offering both touch-to-swipe and steering wheel-mounted controls.

To further delight tech-fans, the 2018 LEAF boasts a Bose audio system. This ensures cabin-shaking bass-lines, with the strategically placed seven speakers yielding hi-fi sound. This EV won’t disappoint.
