Kiss expensive gas prices and costly oil changes goodbye. The 2017 Nissan LEAF S gets rid of all that in favor of an advanced all-electric design. And, as “bmhsonic†reveals in his YouTube review, the base trim of the zero-emissions car blends that performance with a pleasant level of comfort and convenience that leaves him “simply amazed.â€
The 2017 LEAF SL is a stellar performer that’s good for the environment. Conventional engines are eschewed in favor of an 80 kW AC synchronous motor and a 30 kWh lithium-ion battery. This delivers 107 horses and 187-lb.-ft. of torque. More interesting, though, is the fact that you’ll get 107 miles of range on a single charge—and the car can be fully juiced up via a 220-volt outlet in only seven hours. Moreover, it takes just $4 to do so in this reviewer’s experience. Incredible!
The LEAF S also offers a pleasant ride. The front seats are heated for your comfort. The side mirrors are also electronically warmed to ensure your view is un-compromised no matter the weather conditions. As you journey around Renton, Bellevue, and Seattle, the SiriusXM AM/FM/Satellite radio offers tons of listening choices. And the GPS navigation system will always keep you on the right course.Â
