Should you decide to go electric now with the new 2017 Nissan Leaf and you happen to be around the Kansas area, then you couldn't have picked a better time. This all-electric model is being offered for an almost absurd price of just $11,510 for the entry-level 2016 trim. For the 2017 version, you just have to add a little over a thousand bucks and you still got yourself a great deal.

The Great Nissan Leaf 2017 Deal & How To Avail Of It Kansas City Power and Light (KCP&L) is offering a special group buy price for the Nissan Leaf where they are cutting the price down by $10,000. And, considering the $7,500 federal tax incentives, then you could drive home a brand new electric car with a $17,500 total discount upon purchase, notes Clean Technica.

For those who would like to purchase their new Nissan Leaf, and make the most of this amazing deal that only lasts until Jan. 3, 2017, you can head to some of the participating dealerships like McCarthy Olathe Nissan, Fenton Nissan Lees Summit, Fenton Nissan Tiffany Springs, Hendrick Nissan Kansas City, and State Line Nissan.

And, to make sure you're making yourself qualified for the $10,000 rebate, you need to follow a few steps. First, make sure to print out a copy of the Group Buy flyer. Then, visit the nearest Nissan dealership and simply show them the flyer upon purchase. And, you're all set to get the discount for your new 2017 Nissan Leaf 2017.

Is The New Nissan Leaf Worth It? If you're thinking of getting into the EV game, then the 2017 Nissan Leaf is one of your best bets to kick things off. After all, this compact vehicle is the best-selling 100-percent electric car in the market today with its decent range and not so costly price. Plus, choosing the Leaf over its compact non-electric counterparts also means never having to bother yourself from purchasing gas ever again--- and, you never know, you might just also get a big hug from Mother Earth for making the transition to go green.

For the 2016 model, the entry-level Leaf S only has 24-kWh battery pack, but Nissan made the upgrade to 30-kWh lithium-ion battery across all levels for the 2017 Nissan Leaf, with 107 miles of range. The starting MSRP for the 2017 base model is $30,680 without the discounts.

Green Car Reports note that the new Nissan Leaf lags behind the 2017 BMW i3 and the 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Electric in terms of EPA-rated miles of range with 114 miles and 124 miles, respectively. Not to mention, the class-leading 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV with 238-mile range. But, considering that discounted price of around $13,000 in the Kansas area, you bet the 2017 Nissan Leaf is offering a very good bang for the buck.
