At Kirkland Nissan, there is one thing that we believe about the 2018 Leaf - it's a winner! Since its release at the start of the year, the world's best-selling all-electric vehicle has been stashing away accolades and awards.Â
Â
To date, all have honored the plug-in for its supreme efficiency, range and high-tech offerings. And they keep rolling in! Earlier this month, the 2018 Leaf was given Kelley Blue Book's Five-Year Cost to Own Award, which celebrates new vehicles with the lowest projected ownership expenses.
Â
The award takes a number of considerations into account, such as depreciation, anticipated fuel costs, financing/insurance fees, maintenance/repair costs, as well as any state fees for new models within the first five years. Even with its advanced engineering, innovative technologies and plug-in power, the Leaf rises to the top and we're not surprised. With zero need for gasoline, this EV slashes a huge expense from drivers' budgets, saving them big dollars over time.
Â
Want to know what all the buzz is about? The 2018 Leaf is currently available for test drives at our dealership in Seattle, Washington. Choose from three well-equipped trim levels (S, SV and SL) and enjoy greater range (up to 150 miles), plus a dynamic new design that also incorporates Nissan's latest technology, such as ProPILOT Assist, e-Pedal, Automatic Emergency Braking and more.Â
We're sure that you'll consider the 2018 Leaf a winner too.
