Ranked as the #7 Compact Car by U.S. News & World Report, the 2013 Nissan Leaf SL is a great choice for people looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Environmentally conscious folks love this fully electric vehicle. Loaded with high-tech features, you’ll be hard-pressed to find something you don’t like about it.
Powered by an 80-kilowatt motor fed by a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the 2013 Leaf produces 107 hp and 187 pound-feet of torque. Equipped with regenerative braking, it has a driving range of 75 miles. That’s the equivalent to 115 mpg combined in a gasoline competitor. According to Edmunds, this nifty hatchback even earned a rock solid five-star rating for overall protection in government-conducted crash tests.
The top-of-the-line SL trim level includes 17-inch alloy wheels and a solar panel mounted on the rear spoiler. This sends juice to the electronics without touching the energy reserves. It also comes with a 6.6-kW cable for quick charging. You can replenish the stores up to 80% in just 30 minutes.
