If you live close to your place of work and need an energy-efficient vehicle, consider the 2016 Nissan Leaf SV. This fully electric car has the longest driving range (107 miles) in its class. With the push to reduce carbon dioxide emissions over the recent years, more people are turning to environmentally-friendly automobiles.
Powered by an 80-kW electric motor that is fed by a 30 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Leaf generates 107 hp and 187 pound-feet of torque. A 6.6 kW charging cable is included and can replenish the power reserves in about five hours. In acceleration tests conducted by experts at Edmunds, it went from zero to 60 mph in 10.2 seconds.
The SV trim level adds 17-inch alloy wheels and heated side mirrors that are beneficial during the winter months. The cabin features recycled cloth upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. NissanConnect operates on a 7-in touchscreen display and has Bluetooth capabilities for hands-free calling. You can also find your way around the city with the help of the navigation system.Â
