With the wave of new technology comes a massive movement across the country to be more environmentally friendly. Many city drivers are looking for more ways to reduce their carbon footprint and give their wallets a break from the gouging gas prices. The best way to achieve these goals is to invest in an electric car. A top choice in this market is the 2015 Nissan Leaf SV.
Powered by an 80-kW electric motor coupled with a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Leaf delivers 107 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque. A single charge will have this little car running for up to 84 miles.Â
The SV trim level is outfitted with 17-inch alloy wheels and has a 6.6 kW cable that can be used with any 220V power source. Cruise control makes the drive more relaxing, and the infotainment system operates with a 7-inch touchscreen for simple navigation. The icing on the cake is the partially recycled cloth upholstery, making the interior ideal for conservationists and environmentalists.
As a hatchback, the back seats can be folded down. According to Edmunds, this provides up to 30 cubic feet of cargo room, which is ample for its class.
