Nissan Leaf at Barrie Nissan
Every journey starts with a single step, or so the old proverb says. For Nissan, the first step toward an electrified fleet has been the Nissan Leaf. Not only is the Leaf one of the original mass-produced electric vehicles available, but it’s also one of the most affordable available options as well. Online expert reviews praised the 2023 Nissan Leaf for its long list of standard driver-assist features, smooth ride, quiet interior, and, of course, a modest starting price point. Follow along with Barrie Nissan while we take a closer look at this incredible platform coming to our showroom.
