Nissan LEAF 
Last year, the Leaf saw a lot of improvements made to its drivetrain and battery to boost its range to nearly 150 kilometres in optimal conditions. The 2015 year brings a new colour, 17-inch wheels and energy recovery on the entry-level S. The SV and SL versions just up the ante with a few stylistic and functional enhancements.
