Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Nissan Leaf than the Audi A5, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Nissan Leaf will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Audi A5.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi A5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Leaf, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi A5 is much wider than the Nissan Leaf, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Audi A5, which is slightly longer than the Nissan Leaf.

Handling
The Audi A5 has a larger turning radius than the Nissan Leaf, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi A5 has a much more powerful engine than the Nissan Leaf. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Audi A5 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Nissan Leaf.

Utility
The Audi A5 has less seating than the Nissan Leaf, making the Nissan Leaf the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
