First impressions, youâ€™ve discovered, are often true - with your initial thoughts and quick assumptions proving trustworthy. You have a keen sense of judgment, and youâ€™ve learned to rely on your instincts.

We suggest sparing a second impression for the 2018 LEAF SL, however - because itâ€™s far bigger than you originally believed.

As CNET explains, the 2018 LEAF SL delivers class-leading cargo space. Despite its compact profile - 176-inches long, 71-inches wide, and 62-inches high - this Nissan EV allows drivers to effortlessly accommodate everyday items. Inside its five-passenger cabin discover a total interior volume of 116 cu.-ft, while the rear hatch promises up to 30 cu.-ft of storage. This enables riders to place luggage, groceries, and even bulky sporting equipment into the platform without sacrificing their own comfort.

How does the LEAF deliver such ample dimensions? Nissan has paired it with 60/40 split-folding seats - which, with the press of a button, can be lowered to create a wide open bay. A rear lift-gate ensures quick access to the hatch, while the interior boasts a bevy of convenient consoles (including integrated pockets, bottle holders, and the available Cargo Organizer. This box features deep slots and removable dividers to provide custom rows). Even the position of the 40-kWh lithium-ion battery proves efficient, with its center-mounted alignment requiring fewer overall inches. This space can then be spared for everyday storage.Â

With the release of the 2018 LEAF SL Nissan proves that appearances can be deceiving. Look beyond your first impression and take a peek inside this spacious EV!

Competition dominates the hybrid market - with brands trying to earn consumer approval, battling each other with every mile. This is a niche vertical and each sale proves critical.

It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Nissan is celebrating its victory over Chevrolet.

AutoBlog reports that both the 2018 LEAF and the 2018 Bolt were recently pitted against one another in the ultimate safety showdown. The European New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) tested each platform in a series of front, side, and rear collision scenarios - observing both their structural integrities and the response times of their automated technologies. When the dust cleared, there was one definitive winner: Nissan.

The 2018 LEAF

Adult Safety Score: 93%
Child Safety Score: 86%

The 2018 Chevrolet Bolt

Adult Safety Score: 82%
Child Safety Score: 73%

NCAP praised the LEAF and its innovative technologies - including its comprehensive airbag suite. Dual-stage supplementals line the front, utilizing integrated seat-belt sensors to ensure quicksilver deployment; while side-impact options shield all passengers. Rollover scanners control the rear-outboard inflatables, dropping down a curtain to reduce the chance of whiplash. When combined with three-point ALR tethers and active head restraints, this system delivers premium security.
