Nissan Leaf Priced in the US at $32,780

As promised yesterday, when the pricing for the Nissan Leaf electric vehicle on the Japanese market was announced, the producer of the first EV for the masses announced the prices for the model in the US. Without taking into consideration the $7,500 federal tax credit, for which the Leaf is eligible, the MSRP of the EV was set at $32,780.

By applying the federal tax credit, a Leaf will be purchased with as little as $25,280, but this is a relative price as well, given the fact that each state offers additional rebates: $5,000 statewide tax rebate in California, 5,000 tax credit in Georgia, $1,500 tax credit in Oregon and so on.

“Imagine the possibility of never needing to go to a gas station again. Or of paying less than $3 for 100 miles behind the wheel. Or of creating zero emissions while driving," Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing for Nissan said.

“Nissan leads the industry by offering the first affordable, zero-emission vehicle for the mass market. Nissan LEAF truly is in a class by itself.”

The Leaf will be available in the US in two trim levels. The SV trim packs the car with navigation system and Internet/smart phone connectivity, LED headlights, Bluetooth, Intelligent-key with push button start, Sirius/XM satellite radio, dynamic control (stability control), traction control and six airbags.

The second trim, the SL, priced $940 more, comes with rearview monitor, solar panel spoiler, fog lights and automatic headlights.
Ordering for the Leaf will be available April 20, for a $99 reservation fee. Deliveries are set to begin in August.
