Seeking zero-emissions driving, but want all-out luxury too? Consider the top-of-the-line 2018 Nissan Leaf SL as your next fully electric vehicle. This model includes everything from suede-look two-tone leather seating to a surround-view camera system, giving you more of what you want in an EV.
Â
Â
The 2018 Leaf was completely overhauled for this model year and now boasts a 150-mile range with better acceleration and charging. Power is directed to the motor from a 40-kW-hour lithium-ion battery pack sitting under the cabin floor, which generates 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. When it’s time to juice up, the 6.6 kW onboard-charger with 50-kW DC fast-charger has your back. It takes 40 minutes to restore the battery to 80 percent.
Â
And when it comes to luxury features, the SL certainly does not skimp out. On the exterior, the Leaf offers heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals for those chilly mornings, as well as LED headlights and signature daytime running lights that won’t drain the battery. Inside, there are heated front seats and a steering wheel for your comfort, as well as a Bose audio system with seven speakers. The interior also wows with vibrant blue stitching for a stylish appeal.
