Own the all-electric vehicle that Cars.com gave 4.6 stars out of 5 for its long range and overall practicality. With a 2018 Nissan Leaf SV as your plug-in commuter, you’ll always be assured a pleasurable driving experience thanks to its rich feature set and enhanced powertrain.
Â
Powered by an improved 110-kW AC synchronous electric motor that is fed by a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the front-wheel drive 2018 Leaf pumps out 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Unlike older models of the EV, the Leaf can now travel up to 150 miles on a full battery, which is double the range of the 2013 platform. When you need to refresh the vehicle, the SV trim’s standard CHAdeMO quick-charge port will bring the battery up to 80 percent capacity in about 40 minutes – easy to do on your lunch break or when in between meetings.Â
Â
Rolling on slick 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, the Leaf SV’s aerodynamic exterior is also outfitted with keyless entry and start, as well as a rearview camera. Anchoring the dash is a 7-inch touchscreen, which houses the navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. To keep an eye on your Leaf’s charging status and vehicle specs, the standard NissanConnect system provides handy remote-access for your convenience.
