The exterior of the 2015 Leaf is thoughtfully designed to maximize fuel efficiency with an aerodynamic body that reduces drag and wind noise and promotes airflow. It’s practical and functional by nature, yet sleek and stylish too.
 
Inside, the Leaf S features a well thought out cabin that’s styled to maximize comfort. Riding on a 106.3-inch wheelbase, it provides an ample two-row design, boasting an impressive total passenger compartment volume of 92.4 cu. ft.

In the rear cargo area, the Leaf is equipped with a spacious trunk that can hold loads of groceries, baggage or sporting equipment with ease. With the second row seats in an upright position, you can count on 23.6 cu. ft. of room or 30 cu. ft. with the seats folded flat. How’s that for versatility?

Covering eight different categories, the winners are selected from a shortlist of 32 different models across 18 manufacturers. Winning models cover seven vehicle categories and have all been judged against a range of factors, including environmental, performance and cost criteria. Other considerations, such as suitability for purpose, impact on the market, and value for money, are also taken into account.

Take the 2014 Leaf SV for example. It’s powered by a lithium-ion battery pack mounted beneath the vehicle’s floor, which pumps out 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque from the 80kW motor. Energy is directed to the front wheels by a single-speed reduction gear, enabling the EV to go from 0-to-60-mph in 10 seconds flat with a top speed of 90 mph. It also features a 6.6 kW onboard charger and 220-volt line, which juices up the Leaf in just five hours – more than enough time to gain a full charge for the drive home while at the office. Total range per charge is an impressive 84 miles.
 
Inside, the SV trim is outfitted with many nice touches, like a 7-inch display, six speakers and navigation. There’s also a helpful rearview camera, Bluetooth wireless communication, and heated front and rear seats – all standard!
