If you are thinking of buying the 2012 Nissan Leaf, then you will have to pay a bit extra than the previous year’s price. The base 2012 Nissan Leaf SV has a starting price of $36,050, which clearly is $2,420 more than the price of 2011 model, even though the price of the Chevrolet Volt was cut down. But despite the cut down in the price of the Volt, the 2012 Chevrolet Volt is around $4,000 pricier than the Leaf.

General Motors proclaimed in mid-June that they will cut the price of Chevrolet Volt by $1,005. The 2012 Chevrolet Volt has starting price of $39,995, together with an $850 objective charge. The low price for the car was attained by trimming the car by content. Speaking on the price hike for the 2012 Nissan Leaf, the Nissan spokesperson said “The Company is not looking at the alleged rivalry of the car with Chevrolet Volt. The price hike for the leaf has been done because the customers were asking for additional features in the car, and our decision is based on the customer feedback.”
The price hike for the 2012 Nissan Leaf easily could be attributed to the conventional equipments in the car including the likes of cold-weather features and fast charging. The cold-weather features in the car comprise of a heated steering wheel, battery warmer and heated seats both in rear and front.
