Have you been wanting to be more environmentally conscious and reduce your carbon footprint? Now you can with the help of the 2013 Nissan Leaf SV. This fully electric vehicle is ideal for people who live close to work or in big cities. Ranked in the top ten Compact Cars by U.S. News & World Report, you won’t miss your old-school gas guzzler.
The Leaf gets its juice from an 80-kilowatt motor that is fed entirely from a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. It puts out 107 hp and 187 pound-feet of torque and has a range of 75 miles. A gasoline-powered engine would have to get 115 mpg combined to even compare to this innovative mode of transportation.
The SV trim level includes 16-inch alloy wheels and a 6.6-kW cable for quick charging. You can replenish the battery stores up to 80% in just 30 minutes. The cabin features recycled cloth upholstery and a six-speaker stereo system with Pandora. You can stream radio stations or hook up your smartphone with the auxiliary jack to listen to your favorite songs. NissanConnect operates on a 7-in touchscreen display with navigation. You will never lose your way in an unfamiliar area again.
