Itâ€™s an age of electrification - with the 2018 LEAF roaring down highways and up sales charts with equal ease. This Nissan EV has proven its worth, securing an impressive year-to-year growth and bolstering the brandâ€™s Des Moinesâ€™ presence.

Are you ready for next-gen performance?

According to the Globe Newswire, Nissan experienced a sales boom in May - with its 2018 LEAF generating 1,576 total units. This represents a staggering 13.2% growth, and it showcases the viability of the electric market. Despite North Americaâ€™s preference for crossovers and half-ton platforms, a lithium-powered vehicle can still find success.

We, of course, never doubted that. With the release of the 2018 LEAF Nissan introduced dynamic performance to Washington - pairing a 110-KW AC synchronous electric motor with a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery. Active Ride Control technology refines every curve, utilizing intuitive sensors to realign both trajectory and traction; while a torsion rear beam suspension yields superior balance. All-season tires deliver enhanced responses on slick pavement; and a single-speed reduction gear promotes crisp navigation, eliminating conventional down-shift woes.Â Â

This all combines to ensure a potent powertrain - with the new LEAF generating 147 HP and 236 lb.-ft of torque. This EV can easily keep pace with its mid-size counterparts and it proves a perfect everyday ride.
