John Clark Motor Group Nissan dealer celebrates Nissan Leaf model scooping WhatCar? 2018 'Best Electric Car' Award
(PRWEB UK) 13 March 2018 -- Steve Huntingford, Editor of What Car?, praised the award-winning model, saying; “The electric car market has never been more competitive, yet the LEAF saw off all its rivals because it makes the most sense to most buyers. It combines excellent performance with generous standard equipment and low running costs. And even in winter weather, its real-world range is good.”
Nissan’s xStorage was also ‘Commended’ in the ‘Technology Award’ category, an accolade which recognises innovative new technology developments. xStorage is an energy storage system that uses recycled batteries from Nissan’s electric vehicles, allowing customers to store energy to run their homes, and even sell excess power back to the National Grid.
2018 marks the 40th anniversary of the What Car? Awards, one of the most widely-recognised and respected awards ceremonies among car buyers. Over 114 cars are judged against 21 different awards categories.
The all-new LEAF has had a complete makeover with exciting new styling, advanced technologies and a class-leading range of up to 235 miles on a single charge!
The LEAF is also Nissan’s first model in Europe to feature their autonomous ProPILOT technology as well as e-Pedal, which allows drivers to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop – simply by increasing or decreasing the pressure applied to the accelerator.
This stunning new car has now available to test drive and order in Specialist Cars Nissan showrooms in Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth.
