If you are searching for a way to reduce your carbon footprint, consider investing in a fully-electric 2016 Nissan Leaf S. This eco-friendly model is perfect for anyone who hates going to the gas station.
Powered by an 80-kW motor coupled with a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Leaf produces a surprising 107 hp and 187 pound-feet of torque. It has a driving range of 84 miles, which is more than previous versions that only went for 75 mi. In brake tests conducted by experts at Edmunds, it came to a complete stop from 60 mph in 122 feet. That is about average across the board for compact hatchbacks.
The base S trim level includes a 3.6 kW onboard charging cable and 16-inch steel wheels. Heated side mirrors and front seats come in handy during the cold winter months. The cabin boasts cloth upholstery and upgraded tech features. The infotainment interface is displayed on a 5-in touchscreen that operates with Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity. You can listen to music through the four-speaker stereo and make calls hands-free.
