In the market for an earth-friendly car? Drivers across the globe have clamoured for the 2017 Nissan Leaf S, making it the best-selling all-electric vehicle – and for good reason! This preowned model boasts great range and acceleration from its plug-in powertrain, helping owners cut their emissions and gas costs down to zero.
Â
The 2017 Leaf gets its power from a 30-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that feeds the 80-kW electric motor to throw 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. On a single charge, this all-electric car can run a full 107 miles, but when it’s time to “refuel†for the next day’s travels, the onboard 3.6 kW charger will refresh the battery in about seven hours using a 220V line. With strong acceleration that can go from zero to 60 mph in just 10 seconds, you won’t miss your old gas-powered vehicle – and the fuel savings are a nice perk when you rely solely on electric power!
Â
Inside the Leaf S’s spacious cabin, comfort and convenience are also abundant. Nissan’s Intelligent Key with Push Button Start makes starting your day a snap, while the rearview monitor provides assistance with tricky parking moves. On the dash is a trip computer, which shows energy consumption and range, plus there are automatic temperature controls to efficiently heat and cool the interior. Other features include multi-way adjustable front seats, a 12-volt power outlet and full power accessories – really, what more could you need?
