For Seattle area drivers in search of an all-electric vehicle that handles more like a regular car, the 2015 Nissan Leaf S is a smart, eco-friendly choice. If you haven’t had a chance to test drive one, we have a number of models in our preowned inventory at Kirkland Nissan.
 
The 2015 Leaf is powered by an 80 kW lithium-ion battery and 107-horsepower motor that generates 187 lb-ft of torque, resulting in a 0-to-60-mph sprint in about 10 seconds flat – not bad for an all-electric vehicle. As for charging, the Leaf S is quite speedy – the base 3.6 kW onboard charger takes about eight hours on a 220-volt line, or you can upgrade to the optional 6.6 kW version, which reduces charging to five hours. 
 
The range of the 2015 Leaf S clocks in at 84 miles and earns an EPA city/highway fuel economy equivalent of 126/101 mpge. If you are a short-distance traveler or have access to a charging station while at the office, the Leaf is a fantastic solution for commuters who want to wipe out monthly fuel costs.
 
As for standard features, the S trim comes very well-equipped with Nissan's Intelligent Key system, which allows you to start the car without removing keys from your pocket or purse. It also includes heated front and rear seats, Bluetooth, split folding rear seats, a rear backup camera, a CD player with USB and auxiliary connections, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. Other features include power windows, locks and mirrors, 16-inch steel wheels with full covers, automatic temperature control, a rear defroster and a vehicle security system.
