If you are looking for an innovative, earth-friendly hatchback that’s loaded with high-tech gadgetry, consider a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV as your next commuter. This plug-in all-electric car offers great range and convenient charging that’s well-suited for urban dwellers in Seattle, Washington.
Powered by a 30-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that generates the 80-kW electric motor, the 2016 Leaf makes 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with a 6.6 kW onboard charger, refreshing the battery while on the go is easy – just plug it in and in about five hours, you’ll be juiced up to drive another 107 miles. As you motor around Renton, Bellevue and Kent, you’ll also enjoy steady acceleration that can reach speeds of 60 mph in 10 seconds – not bad at all for an electric powered vehicle!
Equipped with a NissanConnect telematics system, the SV trim allows you to remotely check-in on your Leaf’s charging status from the comfort of your home or office. Inside the spacious cabin, there’s a 7-inch display, featuring navigation and a six-speaker stereo system. Heated front seats and a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel are standard on this trim as well, along with heated power sideview mirrors and a back-up camera for your convenience.
