| Benefiting from a mild redesign, the all-electric 2013 Nissan LEAF has been named as the Best Green Car of 2013; it's available today at Conicelli Nissan, as are two Leaf charging stations for complimentary use by the LEAF community. |
"You won't find an all-electric car that offers a better balance of range, practicality, refinement and value than the LEAF," according to the just-released list of the 10 Best Green Cars of 2013 from Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com.
After two years on the market, Nissan tweaked some aspects of the LEAF for 2013, and the result is an increase in efficiency from 103 MPGe to 130 MPGe. "MPGe" is the method that's been devised to provide electric-only vehicles a number that's equivalent to miles per gallon of gasoline. Overall, the changes mean a larger trunk, shorter charging time and longer driving range, not to mention a price that's been lowered by $6000 from last year's model. Importantly, the $7500 federal tax credit still applies, and depending upon where you live, there might be significant state and local tax incentives, as well.
The LEAF, a four-door hatchback design that seats five, is offered in three trim levels, S, SL, and SV, and is now being produced in Smyrna, Tennessee instead of being imported from Japan.
The LEAF is a fully-outfitted car with all the expected amenities, even in its base trim. The LEAF S includes such items as heated front and rear seats, heated leather steering wheel, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, Nissan Intelligent Key, pushbutton start, and 4-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA audio system with USB connection, Sirius/XM capability and steering wheel mounted controls. On the base model!
The all-electric 2013 Nissan LEAF is available now at Conicelli Nissan, a part of the Conicelli Autoplex family of dealerships in Conshohocken and Springfield, just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Further information about the all-electric Nissan Leaf can be had by calling Conicelli Nissan at 1-888-Conicelli.
