Going green never looked so good! The 2016 Nissan Leaf S has become the face of environmentally-friendly cars in America. If you are looking for a way to help save the planet and your wallet, it’s definitely worth taking a peek at this eco-warrior.
Equipped with an 80-kW electric motor that is powered by a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery, this nifty sedan generates 107 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque. You can drive for up to 84 miles on a single charge. If you live near your work, it's the best daily driver.
The base S trim level includes a 3.6 kW onboard cable that is compatible with any 120V outlet. Within 8 hours, you will have a full charge. Equipped with 16-inch steel wheels and heated mirrors, it’s a great option for the Pacific Northwest region. According to Edmunds, heated front seats keep you warm and cozy throughout the winter months.Â
NissanConnect and a rearview camera are both displayed on a 5-in touchscreen. Bluetooth connectivity enables hands-free calling, and automatic climate control keeps all occupants at a suitable temperature.
