If you’ve been considering a new vehicle purchase, but aren’t sure if you want to stick with a tried-and-true gas-powered motor or switch to an all-electric vehicle, we suggest that you broaden your horizons by test driving the 2018 Nissan Leaf. This plug-in performer is a global favorite for its emission-free 150-mile range and performance, but it was also recognized by Autotrader as one of their "Must Test Drive" Award winners at the 2018 New York International Auto Show in March.
Â
This honor highlights 12 new vehicles across a variety of segments that offer drivers significant value for their price. The 2018 Nissan Leaf was adored for its advanced technology, greater range and roomy interior, resulting in a unanimous win as the sole electric vehicle winner in this year's Must Test Drive Awards. The judges also celebrated the next-gen Leaf for its updated interior, driver-focused tech and advanced safety features.Â
Â
"The all-new 2018 Leaf features leading-edge Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies, longer range and more horsepower with a starting price under $30,000," said Brian Maragno, Director of Nissan EV Marketing and Sales Strategy, in a press release. "Once consumers test drive the Leaf, they'll undoubtedly be delighted by the value it has to offer."Â
Â
Redesigned for 2018, the Leaf now offers 40% greater range than the original, as well as more appealing exterior styling. It also incorporates Nissan's Intelligent Mobility suite, featuring technologies such as ProPILOT Assist, e-Pedal, and Automatic Emergency Braking.
