Student loans, rent, basic necessities, like clothing and food, and the guilt of not saving enough for retirement - these are just some of the financial woes that young people face. It's hard to get ahead, let alone start out. Add in the need for your own transportation and one can feel very overwhelmed.
Â
Allow the 2017 Nissan Leaf SL to usher you into adulthood without stressing your budget. This preowned plug-in vehicle is not only affordable to finance each month, but it will also slash your gas costs to $0 since it runs exclusively on electricity.Â
Â
Under its sleek, aerodynamic body, the Leaf SL is powered by a 30 kWh, 360-volt lithium-ion battery, which fuels the 80 kW AC synchronous motor to generate 107 horsepower and 187-lb.-ft. of torque. This trim level also comes equipped with an upgraded 6.6-kWh on-board charger, which can refresh a dead battery within six hours. From there, it promises to deliver an extensive 107-mile range - just enough distance to get from school to work and your social commitments without the need to plug-in along the way.
Â
The Leaf SL also impresses when it comes to features. Young drivers love its plush, high-tech cabin, which includes standard heated leather seating, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, as well as an available Around View Monitor and seven-speaker Bose premium audio system. The exterior is a head-turner too with upgraded 17" aluminum alloy wheels and fog lights.
