Despite it being February, we're guessing those in the Clarksville area aren't too concerned about winter weather driving right now. For the most part, mild temps have kept the roads clean as a whistle. But that doesn't mean Mathews Nissan can't help prepare you in case any fluffy, white surprises should come your way.

In order to safely tackle whatever Mother Nature might bring your way, we suggest you try out the Nissan LEAF. That's right. As surprising as it sounds, the all-electric pioneering Nissan model performs extraordinarily well in the snow. How do we know? A team of auto journalists put the EV pedal to the medal in harsh conditions in freezing parts of Northern Japan.

Mollifying any concerns regarding battery performance in cold weather, the Nissan LEAF electric vehicle's battery stayed at a safe temperature despite the freezing environment. In addition to keeping its power source warm, the LEAF is also well-equipped to handle frozen roads and icy twists and turns. Hiroyoshi Kato, Nissan Technical Master, explains, "The footwork of the LEAF is smooth and nimble because the heavy components, such as batteries, are mounted under the floor and the center of gravity is low and in the middle."¹

Whether you're looking for an all-electric that can handle all terrain or not, everyone can appreciate the amount of work that Nissan has put into creating a truly high-functioning, alternately-powered vehicle. To learn more about the LEAF or any other utility-driven new Nissan model, feel free to stop by Mathews Nissan at 185 Highway 76 Clarksville, TN 37043 and talk to our knowledgeable brand experts.
