If you have been shopping around for an eco-friendly car, you may have noticed that the market is saturated. It can be difficult to choose from a pool of eerily similar vehicles. That’s where the 2015 Nissan Leaf S comes in. With high-tech functions and a more aggressive regenerative braking mode, this little hatchback is the ideal option.
Equipped with an 80-kW electric motor that is fed by a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Leaf puts out 107 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque. It has a range of approximately 84 miles, which is perfect for daily commutes.
The S trim level includes 16-inch steel wheels and a 3.6 kW cable that can fully recharge the battery in eight hours. Heated mirrors and seats are perfect for the bitter winter months, and automatic climate control keeps all occupants cozy.
According to Edmunds, the rearview camera is displayed in the 4.3-in monitor and prevents you from backing into anything. Bluetooth connectivity enables hands-free calling, and you can listen to music through the four-speaker stereo system.
