2014 Nissan LEAF SL Gets Good Housekeeping Gives Top Pick Rating

The 2014 Nissan LEAF SL has been named as a  top “Roomy Electric” vehicle pick in the November buyer’s guide of Good Housekeeping. When selecting models to include in the buyers guide each year, Experts at Good Housekeeping Institute (GHI) consider several vehicle aspects such as performance on track, suburban and highway roads and ergonomics and convenience features. For the 2014 Nissan LEAF SL, experts noted the model’s “impressive” cruising range and class-exclusive Around View Monitor as key factors for this model’s inclusion on the list.

The 2014 Nissan LEAF gets its power by an advanced lithium-ion battery and an 80kW motor which, fully charged, can travel up to 84 miles. This model also has three trim level options and an EPA estimate of 126 MPGe city/ 101 MPGe highway*.  A few available features on the SL include leather seats, 17-inch alloy wheels and 7-speaker BOSE® energy efficient audio system.

“As more than 64,000 American LEAF owners will tell you, the economics of going electric are simple: Buy a Nissan LEAF and save money by conveniently charging at home instead of paying more at the gas pump,” said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing and Operations, U.S. “But the real beauty of the Nissan LEAF is that it’s roomy and, best of all, fun to drive, which is why it received this honor from the Good Housekeeping Research Institute.”

*2015 EPA Fuel Economy Estimate 126 city, 101 highway. Based on EPA formula of 33.7 kW/hour equal to one gallon of gasoline energy, EPA rated the LEAF® equivalent to 126 MPG measured as gasoline fuel efficiency in city driving, and 101 MPG in highway driving. Actual mileage may vary with driving conditions — use for comparison only. 2015 EPA range of 84 miles.
