Nissan Electric Vehicle News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
2018 nissan leaf models for sale in seattle washingtonPull over, the Chevy Bolt EV and the Hyundai Ioniq EV – there is a slick next-gen plug-in on Seattle’s roads! If you’ve been scanning the all-electric market for your next eco-conscious vehicle, hone in on the 2018 Nissan Leaf SL. This variant gets top praise for its powerful motor and longer driving range, while also boasting the segment’s hottest high-tech equipment, including ProPilot Assist.
 
Entering its second generation, the 2018 Nissan Leaf SL has been completely redesigned for the new model year, including the powerplant under the hood. The Leaf now runs on a 40 kWh battery pack that generates an electric motor to produce 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. This allows the plug-in to achieve a total driving range of 150 miles on a single charge, which is farther than any previous Leaf model. Charging is managed by the standard 6.6-kW onboard charger, which requires just 40 minutes to get back up to 80 percent capacity. Pretty quick, right?
 
On the exterior, SL trim boasts 17-inch alloy wheels, foglights and unique turn signals for a look that’s more in-line with traditional combustion engine vehicles. For added protection, an Intelligent Around View Monitor camera and blind spot warning system come standard, as well as ProPilot Assist, which uses an adaptive cruise control system to accelerate and brake for the driver, should they be too slow to react. The SL also boasts heated front seats and a steering wheel for added comfort, while the Bose audio system with seven speakers delivers premium sound.

2019 nissan leaf for sale in kirkland seattle tacoma washingtonLast week, we announced exciting pricing news about the upcoming release of the 2019 Nissan Leaf all-electric plug-in vehicle and since then some customers have inquired about the availability of a Leaf E-Plus. Right now, details remain thin about this longer-range EV, but there have been some recent reports that have divulged a few details, which we are happy to share with you. 
 
According to The Torque Report, the 2019 Leaf E-Plus will not only offer a longer range, but generate more power as well. Right now, the regular Leaf delivers a range of 150 miles, but the E-Plus variant will jump to 225 miles. It will also build upon the current EV’s 147 horsepower electric motor to output 200 horsepower with the Leaf E-Plus. An upgraded 60 kWh battery is also expected, which is an improvement from the Leaf’s 40 kWh battery, which will enable the vehicle to better manage its energy stores and traveller longer distances.
 
Again, details about the 2019 Leaf E-Plus remain minimal for now. As more information is released, we’ll be sure to share it on our blog. In the meantime, we are eagerly awaiting stock of 150-mile range Leaf models and we know that you are too. To pre-book your test drive, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan today or visit our lot to see what 2018 trims are in store.
If your search for an all-electric vehicle delivering exceptional range and a huge suite of driver assist features has led you to the 2018 Nissan Leaf SV, you’ve come to the right place. Re-designed this year, the world’s best-selling plug-in delivers more power, mileage and tech than ever before.
 
 
The 2018 Leaf is anchored by a 110-kW AC synchronous electric motor with front-wheel drive, which produces 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. The 40-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which is tucked in nicely under the cabin floor, has been enhanced and now boasts a 150-mile range, allowing the Leaf to travel longer distances than previously. When it’s time to top up the battery, the standard 6.6-kW onboard charger will need about 40 minutes to re-charge to 80 percent (when using a 50-kW CHAdeMO DC fast charger). Long periods of downtime are now a thing of the past!
 
The SV trim is also chock full of high-tech equipment for even more comfort, convenience and protection on Seattle’s roads. This includes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, which automatically senses vehicles in front of you and adjusts cruising speeds with the right amount of acceleration or deceleration. Nissan’s ProPILOT is also standard and uses autonomous driving technologies, which help to keep the Leaf centered and on-course.
