What are you looking for in a new vehicle? If you and your family's safety are at the top of the list, consider the 2013 Nissan LEAF in the Sanford showroom, which was recently chosen by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Of course, the green LEAF also comes with the added bonus of running solely on electric power.
Robert Yakushi, Nissan director of product safety, explains one of the stand-out safety features, stating, "The IIHS 'Top Safety Pick' recognition speaks to the 'zone body construction' design from Nissan's Safety Shield Concept to help protect occupants in a wide variety of crash scenarios."1
In addition to this innovative feature, the 2013 LEAF also features a Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS), which includes a variety of protection, including roof-mounted curtain side impact supplemental airbags, front airbags with seat belt and occupant sensors, and rear-seat outboard occupant head protection.
Along with the LEAF, the new Nissan Altima and Infiniti M37/M56 have also be named as Top Safety Picks. It's prudent to note that the LEAF has been more price conscious lately, making Nissan electric vehicles more affordable than ever before, though the above-mentioned models are certainly impressive as well!
What'll Nissan think of next? Stay tuned to find out. Marc Motors Nissan, serving Sanford area readers from Somersworth, NH to Saco, ME, can promise it'll be good, especially as the Japanese automaker continues to build eco-friendly, safe, and stylish vehicles like the Nissan LEAF. If you'd like a peek at the LEAF for yourself, don't hesitate to stop by today.
