2018 Toyota Prius vs. 2018 Nissan Leaf

Fuel efficiency performance is more important than ever before. In the 15-plus years that the Toyota Prius has been available in the United States, it has revolutionized the way people think about saving fuel. Toyota's Synergy Hybrid system has helped owners save a nearly untold sum of money on their monthly fuel costs. While it might be the gold standard in the automotive industry, that hasn't stopped the competition from trying catch up with the Prius. A comparison of the 2018 Toyota Prius vs. 2018 Nissan Leaf reveals a few interesting facts. The primary difference between the current Prius and Leaf models is that the former uses a gasoline/electric hybrid platform with the latter employing an electric motor powered by an on-board battery pack. Customers can schedule a test drive with the 2018 Toyota Prius today by calling, 203-286-5500.
The above-the-fold headlines for the 2018 Toyota Prius and 2018 Nissan Leaf are the fuel economy scores presented by both hatchbacks. Owners of the 2018 Prius can expect to achieve better than 50 miles per gallon in the city as well as on the highway. Additionally, the Leaf also posts very strong efficiency results in its own right. However, the way each automaker approaches the challenges of efficiency could have a major impact a buyer's decision-making process. The 2018 Toyota Prius uses an electric motor attached to its regular gasoline-powered engine to provide supplemental power. It's charged through regenerative braking and doesn't require an outside source. On the other hand, to get the maximum range from the 2018 Nissan Leaf, owners will have to make sure it's plugged in to a wall unit.

Range and cargo volume information

As important as the fuel-economy is to buyers shopping for a vehicle in this segment of the automotive industry, the 2018 Prius and 2018 Leaf must also function in the most practical terms. One of the clearest advantages the Toyota Prius has over its Nissan competitor is in available cargo space. When the rear seats of both vehicles are being used by passengers, the 2018 models of the Prius and Leaf have very comparable cargo volume dimensions. Owners of the 2018 Toyota Prius can have its interior configured to have as much as 65.5 cubic-feet available. Longer items can be accommodated by folding the front passenger seat down. At best, the 2018 Nissan Leaf has less than half of the maximum cargo space available compared to the Prius.

Since the 2018 Toyota Prius uses a gas/electric hybrid system, it will get several times the range available with the 2018 Nissan Leaf. Under the proper conditions and using the best driving practices, the 2018 Prius has a maximum range of more than 600 miles. A fully charged Nissan Leaf can only travel up to 150 miles.
