2019 Nissan Leaf Plus: A positive spin on an old favorite
The world's best-selling electric vehicle gets a range boost for the 2019 model year, which intensifies an already appealing way to give up gasoline.
The Southern California native briefly lived in Sydney, and is proud to have developed a barely passable Aussie accent. He also serves on the board of directors of the Motor Press Guild. When not reviewing cars or nerding out on OEM premium audio, you can find manual-labor-averse Manuel doing his best to convince his closest friends to fix the very Porsche that delivered him home.
The 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus starts at $37,445 including $895 for destination.
The top SL spec starts at $43,445.
My loaded tester comes in at $44,270.
The Leaf Plus is powered by a 62-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery that generates 214 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a single-speed transmission.
Because the battery's beneath the passenger compartment, you sit high inside the Leaf, but there's still plenty of room for up to five occupants.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard on an 8-inch touchscreen.
Out back, there's 23.6 cubic feet of trunk space, which expands to 30 cubic feet with the back seats folded.
Automatic emergency braking is the only standard driver-assistance feature, but my tester has Nissan's ProPilot system (adaptive cruise control with lane-keep assist), as well as blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
