Electric vehicles are all the rage, and for good reason—who doesn’t want a reliable machine that utilizes a new-to-the-industry form of power to create amazingly efficient trips? That’s what the 2016 Nissan LEAF S offers in spades, and now, you can get your hands on one.
This car comes with an AC synchronous electric motor and a 24-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that combine for a total of 107 HP and 187 lb-ft of torque. There’s a 3.6-kWh onboard unit that enables charging via a 220-volt line, letting you go from “empty†to “full†in only eight hours—plus, there’s a range of 84 miles.
The 2016 Nissan LEAF S is a well-outfitted machine. Its performance credentials are augmented by a rearview camera that makes backing up far easier, as well as heated sideview mirrors that improve viability in inclement winter weather conditions. Also, we think you’ll love the satellite radio support and the available 24 cubic feet of storage.
