2017 Toyota Prius vs. 2017 Nissan LEAF

When it comes to choosing a new car, more shoppers throughout the Palm Beaches these days are looking for ways to go green and save money at the pump. In order to do so, buying an alternatively-fueled vehicle is often the best option. Two popular picks in this growing segment are the 2017 Toyota Prius and the 2017 Nissan LEAF. While both models will surely save you money on gas, the Prius still proves the better option for drivers near Stuart and the surrounding areas. Find out why the Prius takes the crown for best “green machine,” and then schedule a trip to Earl Stewart Toyota in Lake Park to see it in person.

Price

It used to be the case that buying an electric car or hybrid meant spending outside of your budget, a greater upfront investment toward future savings. That’s certainly not the case with the new Toyota Prius, though, which starts well under the steep price of the new Nissan LEAF:

• Toyota Prius – MSRP from $23,475*
• Nissan LEAF – MSRP from $30,680

 

Standard Power

Buying an alternatively-fueled vehicle doesn’t have to mean sacrificing on performance either. The 2017 Toyota Prius is here to make that point emphatically:

• Toyota Prius – The new Toyota Prius comes powered by a 1.8L four-cylinder engine with dual electric motors, which comes matched to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This system is capable of putting out a total of 121 hp.  
• Nissan LEAF – The Nissan LEAF is powered by an 80-kW AC electric motor that only makes 107 hp.

 

Safety Features

The 2017 Toyota Prius and the 2017 Nissan LEAF both come with a full suite of airbags, a rearview camera, traction control, and antilock brakes. The 2017 Toyota Prius, however, is the only model that also triumphantly comes standard with a full suite of driver assist features in the form of Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P), a package that includes premium technologies like a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Auto High Beams.
