2012 Prius Plug-in vs. 2012 Nissan Leaf
Top Prius Plug-in
Advantages Over Leaf
Leaf is Nissan’s all-electric vehicle. It will attract a certain type of shopper: Not only will the
shoppers likely be cutting-edge types, they can also live within the limitations Leaf imposes.
What of shoppers who don’t want Leaf’s limitations but still want to dip
their toes into the world of EVs? They will undoubtedly find Prius Plug-
in an intriguing alternative with answers to many of Leaf’s
drawbacks. This Edge has the information you need.
Look inside for detailed info about
this summary, important safety
information and disclaimers.
„ TOyOTA exPerience & vALue
It’s reassuring to know that Prius Plug-in has Toyota
engineering and value behind it.
•	Millions of hybrids sold
Toyota is the undisputed sales leader in alternative-
powertrain vehicles. That’s unrivaled buyer security.
•	Multiple award winner
Prius Plug-in builds on Prius, which has been showered
with awards recognizing its economy and value. Leaf
doesn’t have the same history.
•	cost-effective economy
Even a “green” vehicle has to make economic sense.
Prius Plug-in has a lower MSRP than Leaf.
„ sAfeTy & securiTy
Safety and security are among Toyota’s priorities,
which is why Prius Plug-in includes so many of these
features standard.
•	Driver’s knee airbag
Leaf does not include the same comprehensive set
of airbags found on Prius. Specifically, Leaf does not
include a driver’s knee airbag.
•	Pre-collision system
Prius Plug-in Advanced includes this feature. It’s not
found on any Leaf.
„ HyBriD synerGy Drive
Toyota Prius Plug-in offers the best of an electric vehicle
with the reassurance of a gas-engined vehicle.
•	Two cars in one
Prius Plug-in and Leaf are both suited to in-town EV use,
but Prius Plug-in is better at longer or more challenging
trips.
•	conventional driving range
Leaf’s defined range means a driver may have to
calculate trip distances beforehand. Prius Plug-in has the
driving range typical of any gas-powered car.
•	Minutes to fill up, three hour recharge
Prius Plug-in can gas-up in minutes or recharge in three
hours. Leaf takes up to 20 hours.
„ uPscALe feATures
Being an eco-conscious driver doesn’t have to mean
sacrificing some of the luxuries of a fine automobile.
•	entune™
Prius Plug-in includes select apps and services of Toyota’s
Entune. Leaf has no comparable set of features.
•	A blending of technology and convenience
Prius has distinctive high-tech features that improve the
driving experience and make it more comfortable, too.

„ HyBriD synerGy Drive
two cars in one
Day to day, many short hops in Prius Plug-in can
be undertaken in EV mode only, the same as
Leaf. But in circumstances that could tax Leaf’s
abilities (such as road trips, extended climbing
or driving in extreme weather), Prius Plug-in has
all the abilities and reassuring nature of a Prius.
In other words, Prius Plug-in and Leaf are both
great electric vehicles for around-town use, but
Prius Plug-in is also a confidence-inspiring partner
during longer or more challenging trips.
Prius Plug-in Advantages
A Closer Look
conventional driving range
Leaf’s range is limited by it batteries’ charge, then it
must stop and recharge. Prius Plug-in has the driving
range of a typical gas-powered car.

entune
Prius Plug-in comes standard with Entune, Toyota’s
system that allows access to popular mobile
applications and data services.2
Leaf has no
comparable system.
A blending of technology and convenience
For Prius Plug-in, “cutting edge” applies to more
than just the powertrain. High-tech features
improve the driving experience and add to the
car’s comfort and convenience.

Minutes to fill up, three-hour recharge
For Leaf, a full recharge will take 7–20 hours
depending on voltage. For Prius, a fill-up takes
about five minutes at a convenient gas station,
and a full battery charge takes about three
hours. Bottom line, Prius Plug-in spends less time
refueling so it can spend more time on the road.

•	 Prius Plug-in Advanced: Entune apps are available now.

Millions of hybrids sold
No company has more experience with alternative
powertrains than Toyota. In fact, more than 2.8
million HSD vehicles have been sold worldwide.
Drivers can have confidence in the experience and
engineering that goes into every Prius.
Multiple award winner
For years, Prius hybrid has been
recognized for its economy, value,
dependability and safety. Leaf’s
new technology will need some
time to prove itself. Here are
some organizations that have
given accolades to Prius through
the years.

cost-effective economy
Prius Plug-in’s MSRP starts lower than Leaf’s,
though available tax incentives can change
the final figures. Beyond that, as part of a Leaf
purchase, most new owners will probably spend
up to $2,000 more to install a dedicated 240V, 40-
amp charging station. Add it up, and Prius Plug-in
becomes the choice for value.
