The 2011 Nissan LEAF is a pioneer in the world of mainstream electric vehicles. It is part of the first generation of Nissan's compact five-door hatchback electric vehicle line. The LEAF comes with an 80-kW electric motor powered by a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering 107 horsepower. It is front-wheel-drive and features a single-speed transmission. Available in two trims, SV and SL, the LEAF offers keyless ignition/entry, navigation, and an energy-monitoring system as standard. A notable feature is the smartphone app, which allows remote access for climate control and charging management treatments. The SL trim adds a solar panel spoiler, rearview camera, and quick-charge port. Though it lacks advanced safety features common today, the LEAF has consistent high safety ratings.
