Seeing that the Nissan Leaf is one of the best-selling all-electric vehicles in North America, it has a strong following of loyalists that choose this plug-in for its zero gas emissions. And it’s not just environmentalists and budget-conscious drivers that love the Leaf, but tech enthusiasts too. Afterall, the Leaf comes loaded with a host of in-demand technology, making it the most efficient and forward-thinking vehicle of its kind.Â
Â
To show you what we mean, let’s take a closer look at the 2016 Leaf SV, which is available for purchase on our preowned lot at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington.
Â
Â
The SV is a mid-range trim in the 2016 Leaf line-up, sandwiched in between the base S and the top-of-the-line SL. Off the lot, it comes well-equipped with the usual list of standard features, like a six-way manual driver's seat, four-way manual front passenger's seat, trip computer, automatic temperature control, RearView Monitor, and Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Start.
Â
But where the SV shines is its list of includes upgrades, which are not offered on the base model – like the addition of a 30 kWh battery and 6.6 kW onboard charger. With these high-tech add-ons, you can drive 107 miles on a single charge in the SV (compared to the S’s 24 kWh battery’s 84-mile range) and juice up the battery in less time too. And in an age where time is of the essence, the Nissan Leaf sure does rise to the occasion.
Â
The 2016 Leaf SV also comes equipped with NissanConnect with Navigation and Mobile Apps, which helps Seattle area drivers stay on course and in touch while on-the-go. There’s also NissanConnect EV, which provides a remote connection to the vehicle, allowing drivers to monitor the battery’s status, charge the EV and even turn on the HVAC system. A 7.0-inch color display with multi-touch control, six-speaker audio system, and hybrid heater system, which provides superior cold weather performance while consuming less energy, complete the SV’s list of high-tech features.
