The holiday season can put a strain on family budgets as gift-giving opportunities, travel and social commitments continue to mount. Throw in the need for a replacement vehicle and it can appear all too overwhelming. If you are feeling the pinch this Christmas, stop into Kirkland Nissan to view our extensive inventory of preowned all-electric plug-in cars, like a 2017 Leaf SV. This model boasts great affordability with zero gas costs, making it inexpensive to purchase and keep on Seattle’s roads.
Â
The mid-range 2017 Leaf SV is powered by an 80-kW AC synchronous motor, which produces 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. Instead of using fuel to generate its motor, the EV employs a 30-kWh battery, which is recharged by the upgraded 6.6-kW onboard charger or the DC fast-charger port. According to Edmunds, the Leaf will net you an mpg equivalent rating of 124 city and 101 highway. Your days of costly gas station visits will be a thing of the past in this eco-friendly commuter.
Â
The SV trim also offers a lot of value with its list of standard features, which include slick alloy wheels on the exterior, as well as sustainably sourced, suede-like polyethylene terephthalate seats in the interior. A 7-inch touchscreen with navigation and NissanConnect makes it easy to access the information you need, while heated seats keep you comfortable on chilly nights. The EV boasts standard Bluetooth connectivity too, along with a rearview camera and a USB port for streaming audio and smartphone charging.
