Whether drivers are concerned about their carbon footprint or how much they're spending on gasoline, more of them are looking for green models like the 2019 Nissan Leaf. We're proud to offer some efficient options here at Gillman Nissan of Fort Bend, and now we've learned that the Nissan brand has some ambitious plan for its green car portfolio that could see…
If you dream of never having to stop at a gas station again, driving a 2017 Nissan LEAF can make that dream come true.
The LEAF is a roomy five-seater hatchback. If you poke around a bit, you'll quickly notice that it's missing a few important pieces such as a tailpipe and a gas tank.
