Electric motoring has never been as good as it is now thanks to the 2017 Nissan LEAF. As “GEARshift Tv†explains below, this is an EV that wows with its incredible zero-emissions abilities and its slew of comfort and convenience inclusions.


As you hop into the 2017 LEAF S, it’s hard to take stock of everything that’s on offer with just a quick glance. Despite the fact this is a lower trim, there’s still a ton to love. The SiriusXM AM/FM/Satellite unit frees you from the limits of terrestrial radio and opens up entertainment options. The side mirrors are heated to dispel of ice and snow, improving your visibility. The front seats are warmed for your comfort, and there is even an available GPS navigation system to set you along your way.
Of course, the star of the show in the LEAF EV is its engine. The 80 kW AC synchronous motor works in tandem with the 30 kWh lithium-ion battery to produce 107 HP and 187-lb.-ft. of torque. There is a 107-mile driving range—perfect for everyday commutes and excursions. And because you’re charging the car via a 220-volt outlet, you’ll only be paying a few bucks to “fill up.â€
