Embrace all-electric power! The times have changed and Nissan has adroitly adapted with them. Their 2013 LEAF S is a spectacular car that utilizes battery technology to push the American driving experience forward. Consumers are ecstatic!
Â
The key to everything the 2013 LEAF S accomplishes is its 24-kWh lithium-ion battery. It delivers in a big way, offering 107 horses and 187-lb.-ft. of torque and propelling you from zero to sixty in just 9.8 seconds. It’s speedy but also sensationally silent, as it lacks the loud grunting of traditional gas motors. Also, a one-speed automatic transmission provides the smoothest experience possible.Â

We know you’ve been waiting for it and we didn’t forget—how does this LEAF perform mileage-wise? The answer: admirably. This zero-emissions car supplies a stunning 129 MPGs in the city and 102 MPGs on the highway. And at its release, the 2013 S model led its segment with a sizable 84-mile driving range. Further, when it does come time to juice up, you can fully charge the battery in only four hours.
