Economy may prove the driving force of every hybrid - but Seattle drivers remain unimpressed by MPG ratios and lithium power levels. The need for safety instead reigns supreme. These hatchbacks must impress on the highway, rather than at the pump.

Nissan agrees - which is why itâ€™s bringing award-winning performance to Washington with its 2018 LEAF.

According to Automotive World, the 2018 LEAF has just secured a five-star rating from the European New Car Assessment Programme - an international organization that delivers independent safety protocols and procedures. This group evaluates each platformâ€™s responses to a series of key crash scenarios; and it thoroughly examines both driver and passenger protection systems.Â

The success of the 2018 LEAF, therefore, is to be celebrated.

Automotive World notes that Nissanâ€™s latest hatchback secured a top ranking from the Assessment Programme - scoring 94.3% (no car has ever earned 100%). The reason for this high number was the LEAFâ€™s integrated ProPILOT system, an automated suite that yields superior control. Front-mounted scanners observe traffic patterns and lane alignments alike, streaming feeds into the central console. Should an obstacle be detected, these sensors will alert the appropriate vehicle function to ensure immediate action is taken (this may include the ABS brakes, the steering column, or the acceleration pedal). Speed is adjusted and distance is increased to provide drivers with more time to gauge the situations for themselves, bringing heightened security to every mile.

The 2018 LEAF proves a perfect option for families craving more than economy. To request further information about its available safety features contact us today!
