LEAF Recognized at the Top 10 Best Electric

As more electric cars are being produced and put on the road, the competition in this segment grows fiercer. Auto manufacturers are taking responsibility on the impact they have on the environment. The result is an ever-growing market for electric vehicles. Nissan leads the way with the LEAF. 

Autotrader included the 2021 Nissan LEAF in the list of 10 Best Electric Cars for 2021. As the second-generation car, this model is priced right for the general public. Autotrader praised the sleek design and spacious interior, which results in a mid-range price for a wide variety of buyers. The LEAF not only has the base model, it also features the LEAF PLUS with an extended range.

Autotraderā€™s list requires vehicles to be priced at less than $75,000 and be available for purchase within six months to qualify. The vehicle must also be able to travel at least 15 miles on electric power only. 

Autotrader is well-known as an authority on automobiles, helping buyers make sound decisions on which models they will purchase. They aim to create a fun and stress-free shopping experience whether the buyer is in the market for a new or used vehicle. 

What Makes the 2021 Nissan LEAF Special

Keep going in the 2021 Nissan LEAF, which has an extended range up to 226 miles with a fuel economy of up to 111 combined MPGe. Bring along more stuff for the longer trip with 30 cubic feet of space when rear seats are folded. 

Choose the base LEAF for 147 horsepower with the 40 kWh battery. Upgrade to the LEAF S PLUS, which features a 62 kWh battery and 214 horsepower. With 100 percent acceleration right from the beginning, you can easily pass other vehicles on the road. 

Take curves and turns with ease in the Nissan LEAF with a low center of gravity and floor-mounted battery pack. Press down on the e-Pedal to pick up speed or lift up to slow down. You also have the regular brake pedal for a hard stop. 

The Nissan LEAF is easy to maintain with no oil changes or tune-ups necessary. Since thereā€™s no engine or fuel tank, you donā€™t have all those normal components to maintain. Save money on maintenance since the tires will be your primary concern. With no tailpipe and no emissions, you can feel good about how the LEAF impacts the environment. 

Save money on maintenance and gasoline while enjoying a quiet ride with an almost silent cabin. The relaxing space allows you to get away from the busyness of the day for your drive home.
