10 Cars That Are More Efficient Than a Prius

5. Nissan Leaf

Trumping the i-, the i-Me, well, the Mitsubishi mentioned before is Nissan’s Leaf, another pure-electric vehicle. This car is powered by an 80 kW electric motor that delivers a deceptively robust 107 hp. Predictably it features a lithium-ion battery that’s rated at 24 kWh and provides a claimed maximum range of 85 miles, though this is dependent on more variables than we could possibly list. As always, your mileage WILL vary.

All told the Leaf stickers at 114 MPGe combined, a figured that’s derived from its urban rating of 126 and its interstate score of 101. Like other electric vehicles weight is something of a problem; the Leaf strains the scales at around 3,300 pounds!
