Nissan LEAF
After winning the 2018 World Green Car of the Year award, the second-generation LEAF continues to add to its best-selling EV performance. The car's successful redesign keeps getting praise, while advanced systems like ProPILOT, e-Pedal and more make driving a lot easier and safer. The electric motor is now rated at 147 horsepower and the official range amounts to 242 kilometres. Reminder: A LEAF equipped with a higher-capacity battery pack is set to arrive in 2019.
