Powered by an electric motor producing 107 hp, the Leaf eschews a gas-engine, but remains useable everyday with seating for five and a driving range of 100 miles.

The Nissan Leaf comes with more standard features for 2012, including heated exterior mirrors, a battery heater, heated front seats and a heated steering-wheel. A quick-charge port now comes standard on the top-of-the-line SL-trim.
