If you are in the market for a zero-emissions vehicle, but you don’t want to compromise on high-tech features, schedule a test drive in a 2018 Nissan Leaf SV. This next-gen model features the latest design and techno-rich options, along with incredible performance and impressive range.
Â
Â
The 2018 Leaf is powered by a 110-kW AC synchronous electric motor with front-wheel drive, which gains its energy from the 40-kWh lithium-ion battery pack to produce 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. On a full charge, it delivers a range of 150 miles, which is suitable for Seattle commuters or day tripping adventurers. When it is time to juice up the battery, the standard Quick Charge Port will get you on the road again in only 40 minutes with 80 percent capacity.Â

Under its sleek, aerodynamic design, the SV trim is overflowing with high-tech equipment that drivers of all ages are sure to love. This includes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, which automatically senses vehicles in front of the Leaf and adjusts cruising speeds accordingly. Nissan’s ProPILOT is also standard, which is considered a single-lane hands-on driving assistance technology that can automatically maintain the distance to the vehicle in front and can provide steering assistance to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane. Match that with standard e-Pedal, which encourages single pedal driving, and you have everything you need to stay ahead of the automotive technology curve.
