Nissan Leaf Popularity Surges!


Although the Nissan Leaf's initial popularity has decreased, it is certain that the Nissan Leaf will be one of the most popular electric vehicles on the market. The car has several thousands of pre-orders and it will likely be found at Bradenton used cars dealers. Check Peoria Volkswagen deals for competing offers as well and New Haven Acura to browse for Honda's luxury vehicle.

The Nissan Leaf currently has 15,000 pre-orders that require a $99 reservation fee. With the United States and Japan combined, the Nissan Leaf has over 20,000 pre-orders.

Nissan's Leaf is a fully electric vehicle that will compete with the Chevy Volt and the Toyota Prius for the top hybrid/electric vehicle market spot. The Chevy Volt can drive 40 miles without a recharge, but the Leaf is able to drive for up to 100 miles without a recharge.
There were rumors that other factors would affect how long the Leaf is capable of driving such as barometric pressure, however this claim turned out to be unfounded.

The Nissan Leaf's body is quite different from the Volt, but it is still an attractive enough model for many buyers. The Volt is a sleek sedan and the Leaf is a smaller compact 5 door hatchback. The Leaf is more tailored toward compact and subcompact hatchback fans. The Volt is tailored toward those who like sedans with a sportier look.

The Leaf will go on sale later this year, and Nissan plans to release more initial models than the Chevy Volt. The Volt is not expected to make an initial profit while the Leaf will likely be profitable for Nissan. Some websites have reported that the Nissan Leaf has more initial interest than the Chevy Volt, however the Volt's popularity seems to be catching on as the car is currently sold out of its initial models.
