Green Car Reports has the upcoming next-generation Nissan LEAF as one of their finalists for â€œBest Car to Buy 2018.â€ Why? Well, in a pinch, it comes down to affordability, great styling, and superior performance.

â€œIf any electric car aside from the Tesla Model 3 can be called "long-awaited," it would be the redesigned 2018 Nissan Leaf,â€ says Green Car Reports. Their contention is a fair oneâ€”the redesigned all-electric vehicle is set to make a splash with high technology that comes at a base price of just $30,875â€”$7,000 less than a Chevy Bolt EV. And with that low cost comes the pleasure of a redesigned exterior thatâ€™s sportier, more upright, and at home among the manufacturerâ€™s other hatchback options.

Performance in the 2018 LEAF is also set to be superlative. The new electric engine will wow with 147 horses and 236-lb.-ft. of torque. This represents an increase over the previous year of tremendous proportion. Thereâ€™s now 40 HP and 49-lb.-ft. torque more than experienced previously.

While itâ€™s not out until next year, you can call us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle at any time to discuss this exciting car!
