Are you looking to add a piece of history to your driveway? If so, make it a 2011 Nissan Leaf SL-e - the first generation of the world's best-selling all-electric vehicle and the automotive pioneer that made plug-in performance accessible to the masses.
Â
Â
At Kirkland Nissan, we are excited to announce the arrival of a 2011 model to our preowned lot. This EV is a fantastic option for enviro-curious Seattle drivers that want to experience the zero-emissions performance of the Leaf, but without investing in a 2018 model. Best of all, it's priced at $7,500.
Â
Energized by a 24kWh Lithium-ion-manganese-graphite battery pack, the 2011 Leaf's 80kW/107-horsepower motor produces 207 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels via a single-speed reduction gear, which makes the Leaf surprisingly quick, reaching 60 mph in 10 seconds flat. You won't feel like you are dragging in this EV.
Â
Range on the Leaf is a respectable 100 miles on a single charge, which will run you about $3 in energy. And since this plug-in vehicle relies 100% on electricity, gas station visits will also be history.
Â
The 2011 Leaf SL-e allows drivers to try-on all-electric power, while not spending a fortune to buy and own the vehicle. It's easy on the environment and your wallet - what more could you ask? To schedule your test drive, contact our team in Seattle, Washington.
