I think it is fair to say that many of us are excited about the new technology surrounding the automobile industry in the form of alternative fuel vehicles. The idea of ridding our country, or at least our personal selves, from the costs and consequences that come with the continued need for foreign oil is quite attractive. However, I think it is also fair to say that none of us are willing to give up the safety and performance we expect from gas-powered vehicles just to drive a gas-free automobile.
Thankfully, however, we do not have to choose between these two important facts when deciding on a vehicle to purchase. By visiting Nissan dealers in New Jersey, such as local Nissan New Jersey dealership, Hudson Nissan, consumers can purchase a 100% electric vehicle that is also a Top Safety Pick of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Thus, this vehicle, known as the Nissan LEAF, is both green and safe.
To earn the Institute’s prestigious Top Safety Pick award, a vehicle must earn the top rating available – ‘Good’ – in front, rear and side collision tests. If a vehicle succeeds in doing this, its roof strength is then tested. Again, a rating of ‘Good’ must be awarded. Finally, the vehicle must have an Electronic Stability Control system. Only when a vehicle meets all of these criteria does the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety name the vehicle a Top Safety Pick.
The Nissan LEAF is the only vehicle currently in existence that can claim that it is both green and safe, to the highest degree. This is because the Nissan LEAF is the only vehicle on the market that is 100% electric. While other green vehicles, such as hybrids, have earned the Top Safety Pick award in the past, none have been as green as the Nissan LEAF.
For more information on securing a vehicle that is both green and safe, visit your local Nissan New Jersey dealership, Hudson Nissan. As part of the Nissan dealers in New Jersey, Hudson Nissan staff are committed to providing you with the best car buying experience possible.

NJ residents will be surprised what they find – I guarantee it. … Continue Reading
