If you are seeking a user-friendly and nice-to-drive all-electric plug-in vehicle, you can't go wrong with a 2014 Leaf SV. This EV is a top-seller amongst Seattle area drivers, known for its efficient on-road dynamics and whisper quiet operation. We recently brought in a preowned model at Kirkland Nissan and it's priced right at $12,000.
Â
Unlike its gas-powered counterparts, the 2014 Leaf SV is fueled by a 24-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, which energizes the 80-kilowatt electric motor. It fetches 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough performance to boot around Seattle and surrounding neighborhoods. Â
Â
Onboard recharging is conducted by a standard 6.6-kilowatt charger, which can restore the battery in approximately four hours. In turn, it yields a range of 84 miles on a single charge.
Â
Inside, the SV trim comes equipped with some very notable standard features, including a 7-inch display, six-speaker audio system and navigation. There's also a convenient rearview camera, Bluetooth wireless communication, and heated front and rear seats. If safety is of the utmost importance to you, the 2014 Leaf is sure to impress with its Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS), which maintain smooth and safe handling. ABS and TPMS are standard too.
