If you’ve been anxious to get behind the wheel of a 2019 Leaf SL, good news – models of this highly anticipated electric vehicle are starting to hit our inventory at Kirkland Nissan in the Renton area. The Leaf is an ideal choice for commuters and eco-conscious folks thanks to its zero-emission performance and fantastic range.
Â
The 2019 Leaf is powered by a 40 kWh laminated lithium-ion battery, which generates the high-response 110 kW AC synchronous electric motor to produce 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. With this combination, you can expect a range of 150 miles. When it’s time to recharge, the standard 6.6 kW onboard charger will have you back on the road in 7.5 hrs using a 220V line. However, a quick charge port only needs 40 minutes to refresh the car’s battery to 80 percent capacity.
Â
As a top-of-the-line trim, the SL is also wonderfully loaded with the latest and greatest high-tech features. This includes LED headlights and signature daytime running lights on the exterior, as well as outside heated mirrors with integrated turn signals. Inside, the cabin boasts supple leather-appointed heated seats, which offer six-way power adjustments for the driver, along with a heated steering wheel, seven-speaker Bose premium audio system and a hybrid heater. The safety inclusions are notable as well with standard Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Intelligent Around View Monitor and Intelligent Driver Alertness.
