Nissan always innovates, and the electric hatchback Nissan Leaf is one of the Japanese manufacturer’s most modern vehicles. Seven years after its initial launch, the Leaf has a firmly cemented place in the electric vehicle market.

The upcoming 2018 model promises improvements to an already excellent vehicle—here are three reasons to drive the 2018 Nissan Leaf.

1. Advanced Technology

The 2018 Nissan Leaf comes with a slew of nifty technology features that make driving this car even safer. Intelligent movement detection technology can sense potential trouble and help you avoid accidents with rear cross-traffic alerts, pedestrian detections, and automatic emergency braking.

Additional tech features that add convenience and safety include cruise control for effortless maintenance of speed and lane keep assist to ensure you don’t drift into other lanes.

2. More Electric Range

Nissan has refined the 2018 Leaf to increase its range. At 150 miles, the new Leaf model takes you farther than ever before without having to recharge. The 240-volt fast charging capability now gives you an impressive 22 miles of range from a one hour charge, while the powerful 50 kW public charging gives 88 miles of range in just 30 minutes.

3. Bold Looks

The 2018 Nissan Leaf has a bolder upgraded style with a unique translucent blue grille, sharp lines, and its signature “floating” roof.

For its enviable combination of style, modern technology, and superb electric range, you can’t go wrong with the eco-friendly 2018 Nissan Leaf.
