When it comes to all-electric vehicles, some shoppers are quick to assume that this segment is too pricey or out of the league. But, at Kirkland Nissan, we’re here to tell you the opposite. At our dealership, we carry a wide range of preowned Leaf models, which are priced affordably, offer great range and run solely on plug-in power so you never have to shoulder expensive gas costs again.

Â
Take the 2012 Nissan Leaf SL, as an example. It runs on an 80-kilowatt motor that is fed by a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, generating 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. When you do the math, this equates to an EPA rating (MPGe) of 106 mpg city/92 mpg highway (99 mpg combined). Its range is exceptional too, coming in at 73 miles on a full charge.

And seeing that the SL trim is the top-of-the-line grade, you also get a lot of value with a host of standard features that are sure to add to your comfort and convenience, not to mention the Leaf’s good looks. On the exterior are 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlamps, and a spoiler-mounted solar panel, which can power your smartphone. Inside, the Leaf is loaded with cloth upholstery made from recycled materials, Bluetooth capability, navigation, and a six-speaker audio system delivering superior sound. The standard rearview camera also has your back when reversing in busy parking lots or tight parallel spots. It’s everything and more that you can ask for in a preowned all-electric vehicle!
