2016 Toyota Prius vs 2016 Nissan Leaf

Efficiency is a primary goal for countless automakers and is an incredible benefit for drivers looking for savings at the pump. When it comes to efficient performance, hybrid and plug-in electric cars are as good as they get. Comparing hybrid to electric is an important step for any car shopper who makes efficiency a priority, and while it may seem like apples vs oranges, it still warrants investigation by discerning car shoppers. Take a look at this 2016 Toyota Prius vs 2016 Nissan Leaf comparison to see how an iconic hybrid stacks up against a pioneer in the electric car segment.

A flagship edition in the Toyota model lineup, the 2016 Toyota Prius sets the bar high for hybrid vehicles. Next-generation Toyota Prius models feature a sleek, athletic and efficient design that delivers unrivaled aerodynamics and incredible fuel-economy ratings. Revolutionary hybrid technology has made the redesigned Toyota Prius more efficient than ever, with Toyota Prius Two Eco models capable of making 58 mpg in the city and 53 mpg on the highway. Best-in-class efficiency is made even more exciting when paired with cutting edge Toyota Safety Sense systems, a luxurious interior and an upgraded Toyota Entune infotainment system.

Differences Between the 2016 Toyota Prius and 2016 Nissan Leaf

While efficiency is perhaps the overriding factor in this 2016 Toyota Prius vs 2016 Nissan Leaf comparison, cost is certainly an important element in this equation. Nissan Leaf editions benefit from a plug-in electric powertrain that does not require fuel, though that technology comes at a premium price, starting at $29,010. Toyota Prius models, on the other hand, will provide an athletic drive, exceptional fuel economy and come with an incredibly affordable starting price of just $24,200.

Efficiency and performance go hand in hand when discussing hybrid vs electric vehicles. A Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive system pairs a 1.8-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine with dual high-torque electric motors in the Toyota Prius to manufacture 121 horsepower. Together with regenerative braking, an Electronically Controlled Brake System and more, the standard Toyota Prius will deliver an estimated driving range of nearly 600 miles. Under the hood of the Nissan Leaf, you will find an innovative 80-kilowatt electric motor that draws power from a 24-kWh lithium-ion battery pack to make 107 horsepower. With no need for fuel, there is no doubt that the Nissan Leaf is incredibly efficient, though a 107-mile driving range, lengthy charging times and hard-to-find charging stations can prove to be a deficit at times.

Additional advantages that the Toyota Prius possesses will have a direct impact on driver and passengers alike. With a reinvigorated design, the Toyota Prius will provide a more comfortable and spacious ride for passengers. An exceptional 93.1 cubic feet of passenger space makes the Toyota hybrid more spacious than the Nissan Leaf, which provides only 92.4 cubic feet of passenger space. In addition to a spacious cabin, the Toyota Prius possesses more cargo space than its all-electric competitor. Stop in today at J. Pauley Toyota to experience the 2016 Toyota Prius first hand.
