The Nissan Leaf was one of the very first commercially available electric vehicles. The first generation Leaf showed the world that electric cars could be affordable, reliable, and relevant on modern roads, and since then, an EV revolution has begun. Now, there’s a new 2022 Leaf, and even with the myriad of new EVs that are available on the market today, the new Leaf still stands a long way ahead of its competition. Here are a few reasons why.
More Range Than Ever Before
The original Leaf took EVs further than ever before with its economic electric engine, but this new model completely trumps not only previous models but most other electric hatchbacks on the market today. Its all-electric engine will take you up to 212 miles on a full charge, so you’ll find yourself needing to recharge it much less often than other cars in its class.
Gorgeous New Design
Good things come in beautiful packages, and that’s why the new Leaf has been redesigned to be more stylish than ever before. With an elegantly curved hood and striking headlights, this drastically stunning car will turn many heads as you drive around town.
Smart Technologies
A modern electric vehicle needs modern technologies, and the new Leaf has no shortage of these. With automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warnings, lane-departure warnings, and rear cross-traffic alerts as standard, this is one of the safest cars on the road today.
It doesn’t stop there, however, as when you purchase a new Leaf you can opt for the ProPILOT Assist package that includes smart cruise control. Using this system, you can set the distance you would like to keep from the car in front of you and your car will adjust its speed to keep that distance. If the vehicle in front of you brakes suddenly, your car will react to this and apply the emergency brakes to avoid a collision.
Most Spacious Model Yet
With rear seats that fold flat, you can set up your Leaf for big purchases or for bringing passengers along. Once the seats are folded down, you will have access to a whopping 30 cubic feet of cargo space; one of the largest cargo holds of any electric (or even gas-powered) hatchback around today.
The new Leaf really pushes the boat out on what is possible in an all-electric hatchback. With a stunning, modern new design and more smart tech than ever before, this is the EV everyone has been waiting for.
