Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru Impreza than the Nissan Leaf, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Nissan Leaf and the Subaru Impreza in the front seats.

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 Leaf is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Impreza.

Dimensions
The Nissan Leaf is about the same width as the Subaru Impreza. When looking at overall length, the Nissan Leaf takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Subaru Impreza.

Handling
The Nissan Leaf has about the same turning radius as the Subaru Impreza, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Nissan Leaf has less horsepower than the Subaru Impreza, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
The Nissan Leaf has much less torque than the Subaru Impreza, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Nissan Leaf and the Subaru Impreza.
