Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Prius than the Nissan GT-R, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Prius, the Nissan GT-R may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
With the Toyota Prius you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Nissan GT-R, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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 Nissan GT-R will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Prius, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan GT-R is much wider than the Toyota Prius, 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 Nissan GT-R, which is slightly longer than the Toyota Prius.

Handling
The Nissan GT-R has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Prius, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan GT-R has a much more powerful engine than the Toyota Prius. 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 Nissan GT-R does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Toyota Prius.

Utility
The Nissan GT-R has less seating than the Toyota Prius, making the Toyota Prius the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
