NISSAN CELEBRATES 30,000 LEAF SALES IN 2014, BEST YEAR EVER FOR SALES OF ANY PLUG-IN VEHICLE
January 6, 2015 by Nissan
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan, the world leader in electric vehicle sales, shattered yet another sales record with 30,200 LEAF vehicles sold in 2014, which is the first time any plug-in has sold more than 30,000 units in a single year.
'Now in its fifth model year, Nissan LEAF is more popular than ever and continues to bring new buyers to Nissan,' said Brendan Jones, director, Nissan Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure. 'From the beginning our vision was to bring electric vehicles to the mass market in a practical and fun-to-drive package, which is what makes Nissan LEAF the best-selling electric car in the world.'
Last month, Nissan sold 3,102 all-electric LEAFs, up 22.7 percent from the prior year and a December record.
With seating for up to five passengers, the all-electric Nissan LEAF boasts an EPA-estimated* driving range of 84 miles on a fully-charged battery and MPGe ratings of 126 city, 101 highway and 114 combined.
The starting price of a Nissan LEAF is about $22,000** after the available maximum $7,500 federal tax credit, and LEAF offers the benefits of lower running costs and less scheduled maintenance. LEAF offers a wide range of standard equipment plus a variety of available premium features such as leather seats, 17-inch alloy wheels and 7-speaker BOSE® energy efficient audio system.
