Ranked as the #8 Compact Car by U.S. News & World Report, the 2013 Nissan Leaf SV is a great choice for Seattle shoppers. Running entirely on electricity, this five-seater can go for 75 miles, which is the equivalent to 129 mpg in a gasoline-powered vehicle. Boasting a spacious interior and plenty of features, it’s not as expensive as you might think.
The 80-kilowatt electric motor is fed by a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery. This configuration generates 107 hp and 187 pound-feet of torque. According to Edmunds, the Leaf earned an exceptional 5-star rating for overall protection in government-conducted crash tests.
The SV trim level includes 16-inch alloy wheels and a 6.6-kW onboard cable for quick charging. You can replenish the energy stores up to 80% in just 30 minutes. Inside, the cabin is draped in recycled cloth upholstery, while LED headlights and foglamps give it a stylish exterior look. The navigation and infotainment systems are displayed on a 7-in touchscreen monitor and operate with Bluetooth for hands-free calling.
