preowned Nissan Leaf dealer in seattle waIf you’ve been eyeing an all-electric car as your next vehicle, but worry that you’ll be giving up space and comfort in exchange for gas savings, quell your concerns with a test drive in a preowned 2015 Nissan Leaf S. This hatchback offers ample room for five passengers, along with a host of standard features that promise to keep you content on the road.
 
But, first, let’s talk efficiency since this is what drew you to an all-electric vehicle in the first place. The 2015 Leaf S is energized by a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which generates the 80-kW electric motor to produce 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. According to The Car Connection, this equates to an EPA mpg equivalent of 114 combined with a battery range of 84 miles. With gas stations now part of your distant past, all you’ll have to do is plug in your Leaf to get juiced up for your travels. With the standard 3.3 kW onboard charger, you’ll be set in about eight hours.
 
The 2015 Leaf’s hatchback design also lends itself to an extremely roomy interior. Legroom in all rows is outstanding, ringing in at 42.1 inches in the front and 33.3 inches in the rear, while headroom is ample at 41.2 and 37.3 inches, respectively. The seat upholstery is also nice and plush, boasting fabric constructed from recycled soda bottles. On chilly days, you’ll welcome the heated seats and steering wheel, while the Bluetooth connectivity and rearview camera are standard for your convenience. The intelligent key fob also makes entering and exiting the car a cinch.

used 2013 Nissan Leaf for sale in seattle waIf you are looking for an affordable vehicle to purchase and keep on the road, you can’t go wrong with a preowned 2013 Nissan Leaf SV. This plug-in performer boasts a low purchase price, plus you’ll save on gas with its all-electric powertrain that doesn’t rely on expensive fossil fuels for its get-up-and-go. And did you know that maintenance on an EV is about a third cheaper than an automobile with an internal combustion engine? It’s true!
 
The 2013 Leaf is energized by a 24-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery, which generates power to the 80-kilowatt electric motor. On a full charge, it will run 84 miles, which produces a steady 107 horses and 187 lb-ft of torque. In performance tests by The Car Connection, this equates to a zero to 60 mph sprint in 10 seconds flat. Max speeds cap out at 90 mph to conserve energy, but for the average consumer, that is more than enough oomph.

And let’s not forget this EV’s standard features, which promise to add to your comfort and convenience.

This preowned plug-in is made for Seattle drivers with its 107-mile range and 6.6 kW standard charger.
 
The Leaf SL is anchored by an 80-kW motor, which uses a 30-kWh lithium-ion battery pack as its source of power.

Many urban areas are equipped with these public stations, making it easier for drivers to juice up their Leaf while on-the-go.

If you are looking for an all-electric vehicle delivering great performance and agility on urban roads, the 2018 Nissan Leaf S is a natural choice. New for this model year, Nissan made some key improvements to the chassis and body of the hatch, which are sure to enhance your enjoyment on Seattle’s roads.
 
 
To start, Nissan engineers boosted the car's chassis for better stability. Heavy components, including the battery, were moved to the center of the vehicle’s body, which allow the vehicle to achieve smaller yaw moments of inertia. The result is better directional stability, which translates to smoother cornering.
 
Additionally, the 2018 Leaf’s electric power steering system was augmented for a more linear feel with better road feedback, while the urethane bump stop for the rear suspension was replaced by a rubber stop to reduce bumpiness on uneven terrain. The all-new Leaf is also equipped with Intelligent Ride Control for more precise electric motor torque regulation when cornering, thus reducing vibration while concurrently improving ride quality and steering responses.
 
Match all of this re-engineering with the 2018 Leaf’s improved 110 kW electric motor and 40 kWh Lithium-ion battery with an enhanced 150-mile range – it sure is tough to find a compelling reason to not test drive the world’s best-selling plug-in vehicle!

Are you looking for a smart way to green up your commute? Then you can’t go wrong with a 2016 Nissan Leaf S as your eco-friendly chariot. This plug-in vehicle runs solely on electricity, so it won’t add expensive gas costs to your monthly budget, plus it produces zero emissions from its battery-powered motor.
 
 
The 2016 Leaf S is anchored by a 24 kWh laminated lithium-ion battery, which delivers 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque from the 80-kW electric motor. Charging is managed by the standard 3.6 kW onboard device that can juice up a fully depleted fuel cell in about eight hours. For most commuters working a nine-to-five job, that’s a reasonable amount of downtime. When the Leaf is fired up and ready to go, it promises a range of 84 miles. 
 
Inside, the base S trim comes very well-outfitted with a 5.0-inch color display and NissanConnect with Mobile Apps. There's also a standard Bluetooth phone system and streaming audio, as well as a hands-free text messaging assistant and USB connector.
