As the first fully electric car available on the American market, the 2017 Nissan Leaf SL is hard to beat. With an increased driving range, this five-seater hatchback is functional and easy to operate.
Under the hood rest an 80-kW AC synchronous motor that generates 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. It can go 107 miles on one charge compared to the previous model’s 84 miles. The Leaf comes with a 6.6-kW cable, making it simple to replenish the energy stores.
The premium SL trim level adds LED headlights for a stylish exterior. Front and back seats are heated and outfitted in leather. With NissanConnect, you can navigate on a 7-inch touchscreen and hook up your mobile devices through the USB port. Bluetooth connectivity enables hands-free calling, and the auxiliary audio jack allows you to listen to your favorite songs.
According to Edmunds, this is the perfect car to choose if you are looking to decrease your carbon footprint and spend less money on fuel. You won’t ever need to stop at a gas station again!
