2022 Subaru Legacy vs. 2022 Nissan Leaf
The 2022 Subaru Legacy lives up to its name, as it represents the prestigious heritage that the brand has sought to achieve. Its excellent safety record, roomy and comfortable cabin and large touchscreens make it sought after. But how does it stack up against the 2022 Nissan Leaf, a compact car which has received praise for its full electric range, large touchscreens and impressive powertrain?
Design & Style
The Nissan Leaf is a highly efficient hatchback. A V styled grille can be seen in front, with rear trim panel that has been blacked out with a floating roof. Within the cabin, passengers will be presented with a conventional layout that features a centralized console with a shifter and upright dashboard. A digital gauge and touchscreen are also available.
The Subaru Legacy is capable of comfortably seating five passengers, and does so in style. It offers fifteen cubic feet for cargo space and the seats are extremely supportive and can be heated during winter and cooled down during summer. The exterior is conservative with LEDs that are medium sized and a steep roofline with sharpened edges in some places and curves in others.
Technology & Safety
When it comes to safety, Subaru is highly regarded. The Legacy is equipped with the latest safety tech, such as blind area monitoring, front facing style camera, lane and cruise control, and automated emergency brakes. This has resulted in it receiving the highest safety accolades in the industry, which are the IIHS Top Safety Pick and five stars NHTSA rating. Luxuries within its cabin include Nappa leather seats that are powered, climate control which covers two zones, 4 USB ports, a sunroof and keyless start.
The Nissan Leaf has also received a five star NHTSA safety rating. It has most of the features found in the Subaru, including lane and cruise control with blind area monitoring. Those that purchase the SL or SV variants will also get ProPilot Assist, which will aid the driver in steering, starting and stopping the car during long journeys to minimize fatigue. Luxuries within its cabin include the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, cloth upholstery and eight inch touch displays.
Performance
The Nissan Leaf is equipped with a lithium ion forty kilowatt battery that is wedded to an electric motor which enables it to generate 147 horsepower with 187 pounds of torque. The Subaru Legacy is equipped with a flat 4, 2.5 liter engine that can generate 182 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The Subaru Legacy surpasses the Nissan Leaf when it comes to performance and safety accolades, and it also has bigger touchscreens, which makes it the winner.
