Embrace the most efficient drive behind the wheel of a 2019 Nissan Leaf S. This plug-in powered all-electric vehicle is a great alternative to gas-powered or hybrid variants, delivering exceptional range and faster charging to Seattle area commuters.
Generating the 2019 Leaf is a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery that powers the 110 kW AC synchronous electric motor to produce 147 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with a 6.6 kW onboard charger, this EV can replenish its stores in just 7.5 hours using a 220-volt line, which most drivers do overnight to limit downtime. On a full charge, you’ll have 150 miles at your disposal for commuting or errand running – plenty of range for urban dwellers. You’ll also love the Leaf’s strong highway performance, which can reach speeds of 60 mph in just 7.4 seconds.
Inside the cabin, the S trim boasts a 7-inch information display in the gauge cluster to help you keep track of your range and battery power, while a 5-inch color display houses a helpful rearview monitor. This model is also equipped with standard Bluetooth capabilities, a hands-free text messaging assistant and cruise control for your convenience. A Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Start is also included at the base level, along with full power accessories and a 12-volt outlet.
