High performance is great—everyone loves a speedy electric car with a plentiful driving range. But that’s not our focus today. Sometimes, you need to know that your prospective new vehicle has the safety of you and yours well accounted for. And the 2014 Nissan LEAF is exactly that machine.
Nothing is certain when you’re on the roads of Seattle, Renton, and Bellevue, but the 2014 LEAF takes away some of that worry due to its suite of safety features. The electronic stability control allows for reliable handling thanks to its intelligent assessment of street conditions and resulting automatic tweaking of traction ratios and torque. The ABS also swiftly engages, allowing the automobile to decelerate appropriately. Plus, airbags are in no short supply—there are front- and side-impact inflatables scattered throughout.
Oh, and one more thing: this LEAF provides seats that are astutely designed with contoured head restraints that prevent whiplash. These work to mitigate vibrations in a collision, lessening the odds of trauma to your body and those of your passengers. You’ll be able to drive with great peace of mind!
