The Ford EcoSport is a very popular SUV that has been recently released in the United States. It comes in two trims, S and SE, both available in front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations.
The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric vehicle introduced to the U.S. market in 2010. This year it received one major upgrade after being on sale for 10 years when it received its first redesign, which includes some new standard features like heated seats and an upgraded infotainment system.
Here’s how they stack up against each other:
Design & Style
The 2023 Ford EcoSport has a more aggressive design than the 2023 Nissan Leaf. It has a bolder front end and slimmer headlights with LED daytime running lights. The grille also features larger vertical bars, giving it a more muscular look than the Leaf’s smaller horizontal slats.
The EcoSport has muscular fenders that help give it an athletic appearance, while its rear end features sweeping curves that make it appear sleeker than the Leaf’s boxy shape.
The interior of the 2023 Ford EcoSport is fairly basic and functional, but it does have a few unique touches. The dashboard is made from recycled materials and has an interesting texture that makes it easy to grip. The seats are also made from recycled materials and have air vents for cooling you down on hot days.
The interior of the 2023 Nissan Leaf is also fairly basic and functional but not as unique as its competitor’s design. It does have some nice features, like leather seats with heating elements built into them so you can stay warm when it gets cold outside!
Technology & Safety
The 2023 Ford EcoSport comes standard with a rearview camera, an important safety feature that helps you see behind you when parking or backing up. The Leaf doesn’t offer this feature, so it’s one area where the EcoSport has the advantage.
The 2023 Nissan Leaf also has less advanced safety features than its competitor. It does not have blind spot monitoring or lane keep assist system like some other cars in its class, do-two more areas where your car can help keep you safe on the road.
Performance
The 2023 Ford EcoSport is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 166 horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque. The Nissan Leaf’s electric motor makes 147 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, which can be increased to 153 hp when the battery is charged to 80 percent capacity.
The Bottom Line
The 2023 Ford EcoSport is the better choice for most people. It has a more comfortable interior and is more fun to drive than the Nissan Leaf. The Nissan Leaf may have a lower price point, but it doesn’t offer as much as the EcoSport does.
