where to buy a preowned Nissan Leaf in washington

If youâ€™ve been pouring over online reviews about preowned all-electric vehicles, you may have come across complaints about poor range and extended charging times. But, donâ€™t let these assessments steer you away from the segment â€“ zone in on the Leaf EV instead.Â

Since its release in 2011, Nissan has been perfecting its best-selling plug-in vehicle with each model year. And for 2013, the automaker made some smart enhancements to the Leaf, allowing it to go farther and charge faster than earlier versions.

One of the key improvements to the 2013 Leaf is that it was engineered with an available 6.6 kW onboard charger, which cuts the 220Vâ€™s charging time in half to just four hours. For commuters, this is especially important since it allows them to refresh the EVâ€™s battery while at work and have it ready for the drive home.

Nissan also improved the Leafâ€™s aerodynamics, allowing airflow to travel up and across the low compact hood, pass over the carâ€™s shoulders and exit via the large rear spoiler. The result is less drag and better efficiency, which allows the Leaf to achieve 15 percent more range, totalling 84 miles on a single charge.Â

It drives beautifully too, with a whisper-quiet operation that Seattle drivers love. To experience it for yourself, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan to learn more about theÂ 2013 Leaf SV today!

If creeping fuel prices are dragging you down or you worry about the damage your old gas-guzzling sedan is causing the environment, quell your discomfort with a preowned 2013 Nissan Leaf SV. This all-electric plug-in runs solely on battery power, thus eliminating gas station visits and harmful emissions for as long as you own the vehicle.

The 2013 Leaf is powered by a 24-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, which is neatly hidden under the carâ€™s floor. It generates power to the 80-kilowatt electric motor and produces a respectable 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. Even with its battery power, the Leaf EV is relatively quick off the line. According to The Car Connection, it achieves a 0 to 60 mph jaunt in 10 seconds and maxes out at 90 mph to conserve energy. Now, this is not "track star" performance, but itâ€™s adequate for daily driving around Seattle, Kirkland and Auburn.

As for the 2013 Leaf SVâ€™s range, you can expect to achieve 84 miles before you need to stop for a battery refresh using the standard onboard 6.6-kilowatt charger. In about four hours, youâ€™ll be up and running again. The Leafâ€™s smartphone app makes it easy to manage your charging times, so you donâ€™t have to stand around waiting. It will alert you when the EV is juiced up and ready to roll.

Whether you are driven by eco-friendly ideals or are wanting to slash your monthly gas expenses, a preowned 2013 Nissan LeafÂ SL can help you achieve both. This plug-in performer runs solely on electricity and produces zero-emissions, making it a sensible choice for cost- and earth-conscious consumers in Seattle.

Under the hood, you wonâ€™t find a typical engine in the 2013 Leaf; instead, it is energized by a 24kWh lithium-ion battery pack and an 80kW motor, which delivers 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. Power is directed to the front wheels, which makes handling the Leaf similar to any other front-wheel drive compact car. Itâ€™s quick off the line too, boasting a 0-to-60-mph sprint in less than 10 seconds with top speeds maxing out at 90 mph to conserve energy. Charging is managed by the SLâ€™s standard 6.6-kilowatt onboard charger, which reduces the juicing-up time for a fully depleted battery pack to roughly four hours from the base Sâ€™s seven to 10 hours. Without any need for traditional fossil fuels, you can kiss your local gas station goodbye.Â

Cost-savings aside, the Leaf SL also offers immense value with many top-of-the-line standard features. Inside, leather upholstery and a rearview camera are included, as are other conveniences, like Bluetooth connectivity, an intelligent access key fob, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The exterior is appointed with larger 17-inch alloy wheels and a photovoltaic solar panel mounted on the roof spoiler over the tailgate, which reduces unnecessary battery draw to charge small devices.

There are a number of all-electric vehicles available on the market today, but none are as celebrated or as accessible as the Nissan Leaf. Drivers across Seattle hail this EV for its reasonable purchase price, affordable cost of ownership and zero-emissions performance - and for good reason!Â

If you've been thinking of joining the ranks of other happy plug-in owners, consider test driving a preowned 2013 Leaf S from our dealership.

This all-electric vehicle is energized by a 24kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which powers the 80kW/107-horsepower motor. It outputs an impressive 187 lb-ft of torque, helping the Leaf go head-to-head with its gas-powered counterparts - both on the road and highway. In 10 seconds flat, this EV can reach cruising speeds of 60 mph and can top out at a max speed of 90 mph. If you are a range worry-wart, you can put your fears aside. On a single charge, the 2013 Leaf can achieve up to 84 miles.Â

Inside, the S trim comes nicely appointed with automatic climate controls, keyless access with push-button start, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a four-speaker audio system with Bluetooth connectivity and USB port for portable music players. It also features seat upholstery crafted from recycled materials, thus further cementing the Leaf's eco-friendly appeal.

If you think slashing your emissions means compromising on performance, think again. There are all-electric vehicles available on the market that produce zero emissions and are pleasant to drive, just like their gasoline counterparts. If this sounds like an ideal solution for you, allow us to introduce the 2013 Nissan Leaf S.

This plug-in performer is energized by a 24kWh lithium-ion battery pack and an 80kW motor, which delivers 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Power is directed to the front wheels via a single-speed reduction gear, enabling a 0-to-60-mph acceleration in less than 10 seconds with a top speed of 90 mph.Â

And instead of stopping at the gas station for traditional fossil fuels, the 2013 Leaf can be recharged for as little as three dollars. On a full "fill", you can expect to achieve 84 miles, which is more than enough range for Seattle area commuters that travel short distances to work or stay-at-home parents or seniors who hustle between school, extra-curricular activities and local errands.

But, one of the greatest features of the 2013 Nissan Leaf S is how well it behaves on the road. As you drive, its operation is virtually silent thanks to the whisper-quiet motor under the hood. The Leaf also lacks the unnatural brake feel found in other vehicles with regenerative braking systems. Instead, when you apply pressure to the brakes, the Leaf is responsive and quick to react, thus serving up a more spirited driving experience.

With a 2013 Leaf S in your driveway, compromise will be a thing of the past. To schedule your test drive, contact us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington.

Whether you want to reduce your carbon footprint or slash your monthly fuel costs altogether, a preowned all-electric 2013 Nissan Leaf S is an obvious choice. Best of all, you can find a four-year-old used model for under $10K, like at our dealership in Seattle, Washington.

The 2013 Leaf S is energized by a 24kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which is mounted beneath the floor. The 80kW/107-horsepower motor churns out 207 lb-ft of torque and can easily go from zero to 60 mph in about 10 seconds with a top speed of 90 mph.Â

As for the cost of ownership, Nissan claims its very affordable with a full recharge estimated at about three dollars, which equates to an 84-mile range. When compared to the rising cost of gasoline, this amounts to huge savings over the life of the EV.

But, one of the nicest features about this Leaf is how it drives. Aside from its whisper quiet operation, the 2013 Nissan Leaf S drives and handles like any mainstream vehicle, thanks to its smooth as silk regenerative braking system. The electric power steering is also light and nicely weighted for both highway and city driving.
