The 2012 Nissan Leaf SL is an all-electric compact hatchback that marked one of the early forays into the mass-market electric vehicle segment. This model is known for its zero-emission powertrain, which uses an 80 kW electric motor powered by a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The 2012 Leaf SL provides a modest range of approximately 73 miles per full charge according to EPA estimates, which suited urban commuting and short-range travel. The exterior of the Leaf SL is characterized by its unique, aerodynamic shape designed to minimize wind resistance and maximize efficiency. It features a distinctive front end with a sloping nose and large, upward-slanting headlights. Inside, the Leaf SL is equipped with a range of features including an advanced navigation system, a rearview camera, and an environmentally friendly interior using recycled and sustainably sourced materials. The SL trim adds upscale touches like automatic headlights, fog lights, and a solar panel on the rear spoiler that helps charge the 12V battery. The vehicle also supports quick charging, allowing for faster battery top-ups at public charging stations..Awards: * 2012 KBB.com 10 Best Green Cars*SEE DEALER FOR DETAILS.
