There are a number of all-electric vehicles available on the market today, but none are as celebrated or as accessible as the Nissan Leaf. Drivers across Seattle hail this EV for its reasonable purchase price, affordable cost of ownership and zero-emissions performance - and for good reason!Â
Â
If you've been thinking of joining the ranks of other happy plug-in owners, consider test driving a preowned 2013 Leaf S from our dealership.
Â
This all-electric vehicle is energized by a 24kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which powers the 80kW/107-horsepower motor. It outputs an impressive 187 lb-ft of torque, helping the Leaf go head-to-head with its gas-powered counterparts - both on the road and highway. In 10 seconds flat, this EV can reach cruising speeds of 60 mph and can top out at a max speed of 90 mph. If you are a range worry-wart, you can put your fears aside. On a single charge, the 2013 Leaf can achieve up to 84 miles.Â
Â
Inside, the S trim comes nicely appointed with automatic climate controls, keyless access with push-button start, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a four-speaker audio system with Bluetooth connectivity and USB port for portable music players. It also features seat upholstery crafted from recycled materials, thus further cementing the Leaf's eco-friendly appeal.
