The all-electric car market is really blowing up in size and stature, and Nissan’s LEAF remains a torchbearer in the segment. This is a car that delivers sensational performance and efficiency, as you would imagine, but the 2018 SV model also provides a wonderful amount of refinement that results in a wealth of convenience features for the owner.
This vehicle is outfitted with a 110-kW motor that pushes out 147 horses and 236 lb.-ft. of torque. You won’t have to worry much about running out of “steam,†so to speak, because the 40-kWh lithium-ion battery has a newly improved range of 151 miles. Plus, when it is time to charge it back up, an 80% “fill-up†can be achieved in only a half hour!
The 2018 Nissan LEAF SV is sophisticated inside its cabin, too. It comes with a rearview camera for easy reverse maneuvers; additionally, forward collision warning with automatic braking is standard, thereby greatly enhancing passenger safety. Bluetooth enables hands-free calling, while the inclusion of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay provide compatibility with many apps. Also, a navigation system takes the frustration out of finding previously unvisited destinations.
