If your summertime bucket list requires the use of a reliable vehicle, but you’d prefer to drive a preowned option with an all-electric powertrain, the 2016 Nissan Leaf S is the car for you. Not only does this plug-in deliver zero-emissions performance, but it is bolstered by a sizable battery that is capable of travelling 84 miles on a single charge. Â
Â
To be specific, the 2016 Leaf is equipped with a 24-kWh laminated lithium-ion battery that powers the 80-kw electric motor to produce 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. When it’s time to refresh the battery to regain another 84 miles, the S trim includes a standard 3.3 kW charger that will have you back on the road in eight hours. For most short-distance commuters or weekend adventurers, this is ample mileage to get around Seattle.
Â
Inside, the 2016 Nissan Leaf S comes loaded with a number of cool features that promise to add to your comfort and convenience. This includes a 5.0-inch color display with NissanConnect with Mobile Apps, as well as a standard Bluetooth hands-free phone system with streaming audio and a text messaging assistant. Navigating tight parking lots and parallel parking spots is also a snap thanks to the back-up camera (shown below), which is included even at the base level.
