The New Year is upon us and so is the highly-anticipated Tokyo Auto Salon, which is taking place on January 12-14, 2018, at the Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex in Japan.
 
Nissan will be in attendance where they will reveal a new variant of the popular Leaf all-electric vehicle, called the Grand Touring Concept.
 
 
Industry insiders report that the EV will feature two-tone black-and-silver paintwork and an aggressive body kit, but other details have yet to be disclosed. Some speculators think that the Grand Touring Concept will be equipped with the latest aftermarket parts offered through Autech Japan, a Nissan sub-brand with a focus on vehicle tuning, but full mechanical and performance specs have yet to be revealed.
 
With all of the rumors floating around, anticipation is certainly building. EV fanatics across the globe are excited to get a glimpse at the Leaf’s Grand Touring Concept, including our staff at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington.
 
As news from Japan makes its way across the Pacific, we’ll be sure to report back with images and video of Nissan’s latest concept vehicle. In the meantime, we encourage you to stop by our dealership to test drive a new or preowned Leaf EV.

2018 Nissan Leaf Named Motor Trend Car of the Year Contender

The 2018 Nissan Leaf hasn’t even hit North American roads, but that’s not stopping the EV from raking up accolades and honors. It was recently named a contender for Motor Trend’s Car of the Year, which is an annual award given by the magazine to acknowledge the best new or significantly refreshed cars.
 
The 2018 Leaf was recognized for its attractive aerodynamic design, superb semi-autonomous driving option, and amazing pricing, as well as its 150-mile range from the 40-kW-hr battery. 
 
This includes one of the Leaf’s newest features called ProPILOT Assist. According to Nissan, this technology relieves driver workload by reducing the amount of driver acceleration, steering, and braking input under certain conditions. Then there is e-Pedal – another innovative technology that lets drivers start, accelerate, decelerate and stop by increasing or decreasing the pressure applied to the accelerator. When the accelerator is fully released, regenerative and friction brakes are applied automatically, bringing the Leaf to a complete stop.

Are you excited to get behind the wheel of a 2018 Leaf? We sure are! The new Nissan Leaf is currently on sale in Japan, but will be arriving at dealerships in North America and Western Europe over the next two months. As soon as we have inventory, we will be sure to notify our customers so that you can schedule a test drive in this award-winning EV.
 
In the meantime, we have many new and preowned models in stock at our dealership. Click here to browse our online inventory or visit us at 11930 124th Ave NE in Seattle, Washington.

Smart mobility proved the driving force of the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) - with critics offering generous acclaim to sustainable performance and plug-in capabilities. The future, they declared, is no longer reserved for traditional engines. Instead hybrid technology will define every mile.

It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Nissan’s latest Leaf secured the show’s highest honor.


According to Hybrid Cars, the 2018 Leaf was recently given an impressive trophy for its case - earning CES recognition as the Best of Innovation for Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology. This achievement (which serves as Nissan’s first international award) was given with great enthusiasm, with critics celebrating several key EV features:

Drive-Range: anchored by a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery, the new Leaf boasts a 150-mile all-electric capability. This allows consumers to effortlessly navigate the demands of every day, sparing them constant visits to the charging station.

Fast Connections: utilizing an advanced 240-volt port system, this Nissan sedan can achieve a charge of 88 miles in less than thirty minutes.

The e-Pedal: this exclusive function allows drivers to seamlessly enhance or decrease their speed, requiring only a single foot pedal to control performance. 

These features ensure powerful responses, optimizing the 2018 Leaf for work, play, and every moment between.
