The 2018 Nissan Leaf hasnâ€™t even hit North American roads, but thatâ€™s not stopping the EV from raking up accolades and honors. It was recently named a contender for Motor Trendâ€™s Car of the Year, which is an annual award given by the magazine to acknowledge the best new or significantly refreshed cars.

The 2018 Leaf was recognized for its attractive aerodynamic design, superb semi-autonomous driving option, and amazing pricing, as well as its 150-mile range from the 40-kW-hr battery.Â

This includes one of the Leafâ€™s newest features called ProPILOT Assist. According to Nissan, this technology relieves driver workload by reducing the amount of driver acceleration, steering, and braking input under certain conditions. Then there is e-Pedal â€“ another innovative technology that lets drivers start, accelerate, decelerate and stop by increasing or decreasing the pressure applied to the accelerator. When the accelerator is fully released, regenerative and friction brakes are applied automatically, bringing the Leaf to a complete stop.
