When it comes to eco-friendly vehicles, no one does it better than Nissan. Our engineers work tirelessly to stay on the cutting edge of innovative technology to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions. You can see the effort that has been put forth in the 2016 Nissan Leaf S. This handy hatchback is constantly being improved upon with better energy storage and a longer driving range.
An 80-kW electric motor paired with a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack powers this model. It produces 107 hp and 187 pound-feet of torque and can run for 84 miles. With the 3.6 kW cable, it takes approximately eight hours to get a full charge. By folding the back seats down, you can expand the cargo capacity to 30 cubic ft.
The base S trim level includes 16-inch steel wheels and heated side mirrors that are optimal during the cold winter months. The cabin boasts advanced electronics such as Bluetooth for hands-free calling. The infotainment interface and rearview camera are both displayed on a 5-in monitor. You can listen to music via satellite radio, the CD player, or the auxiliary jack.
