If you are looking for an all-electric vehicle delivering great performance and agility on urban roads, the 2018 Nissan Leaf S is a natural choice. New for this model year, Nissan made some key improvements to the chassis and body of the hatch, which are sure to enhance your enjoyment on Seattleâ€™s roads.

To start, Nissan engineers boosted the car's chassis for better stability. Heavy components, including the battery, were moved to the center of the vehicleâ€™s body, which allowÂ the vehicle toÂ achieve smaller yaw moments of inertia. The result is better directional stability, which translates to smoother cornering.

Additionally, the 2018 Leafâ€™s electric power steering system was augmented for a more linear feel with better road feedback, while the urethane bump stop for the rear suspension was replaced by a rubber stop to reduce bumpiness on uneven terrain. The all-new Leaf is also equipped with Intelligent Ride Control for more precise electric motor torque regulation when cornering, thus reducing vibration while concurrently improving ride quality and steering responses.

Match all of this re-engineering with the 2018 Leafâ€™s improved 110 kW electric motor and 40 kWh Lithium-ion battery with an enhanced 150-mile range â€“ it sure is tough to find a compelling reason to not test drive the worldâ€™s best-selling plug-in vehicle!
