If you are ready to make the change to an eco-friendly vehicle, consider snatching up a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV. As one of the world’s most popular electric models, this five-seater is ideal for people who live close to work and in large cities.
Powered by a 30 kWh lithium-ion battery-fed 80-kW motor, the Leaf generates a surprising 107 hp and 187 pound-feet of torque. It has a driving range of 107 miles, which is plenty for getting around Kirkland. In track tests conducted by experts at Edmunds, it went from zero to 60 mph in 10.2 seconds.
The SV trim level includes a 6.6-kW onboard cable and quick-charge port to replenish the energy stores up to 80% in just 30 minutes. A more efficient heating system has also been added to help handle the bitter winter months in the Pacific Northwest. Further helping conservation efforts along, the cabin is wrapped in partially recycled cloth material. The 7-in touchscreen displays the navigation system and infotainment interface. Bluetooth connectivity enables hands-free calling.
