Nissan LEAF Test Drive and Review

Nissan LEAF Test Drive Review Green Energy News had the recent pleasure of test driving the brand spankin new, highlyanticipated zero emission vehicle (ZEV) developed by Nissan, dubbed LEAF or Leading, Environmentally Friendly, Affordable, Family Car. Mark Perry, Director of Product Planning for Nissan North America, talks about the vision behind the Nissan LEAF and touches on it s ecofriendly features, cost, price, battery, charging information, and availability. The LEAF we drove is a preproduction basically the production model. This is NOT a mule or the VERSA shell which was making a tour across the US earlier this year. Design: Smooth lines, aerodynamic, and pleasing to look at. The LEAF might not be the most eyecatching car on the road, but we feel like it will appeal to most consumers in the compact car market. We saw it as a cross between a luxury crossover SUV (think Lexus RX 350), a Toyota Matrix, and the Nissan Versa.
