Stepping Inside: Chic Cabin vs. Spacious Sanctuary
Climb into the Mini, and you're greeted by a surprisingly roomy cabin for its pint-sized exterior. Headroom is ample for most adults at 1,024 mm, while legroom (1,052 mm) is ideal for city commutes.
The bolstered seats hug you during spirited drives, and the shoulder room (1,284 mm) is decent for two passengers. Cargo space is a compact 211 litres, but the rear seats fold down to expand to a more manageable 731 litres.
The Leaf offers a different kind of comfort. Its airy cabin boasts generous headroom (1,045 mm) and legroom (1,070 mm) for front passengers.
The rear seats are comfy for two adults on shorter trips, with 851 mm of legroom. Cargo space is much larger at 668 litres with the seats up, expanding to 850 litres when folded.
While the Nissan Leaf offers a wider selection of colours (five) to complement its modern aesthetic, the Mini Cooper 3-Door goes for a more curated selection (four), each bursting with personality.
Playful pops like Chili Red or Melting Silver are offset by cool roof options like black or white. The signature 16-inch alloy wheels with unique designs complete the go-kart vibe.
Punchy Power vs. Silent Strength
The Mini Cooper 3-Door packs a punch under the hood with its three-cylinder 12 Valve Twin Power Turbo engine churning out 134 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. This translates to a thrilling driving experience, perfect for zipping around Edmonton's vibrant streets.
The Leaf, on the other hand, is all about quiet confidence. Its electric motor delivers 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, offering a smooth and silent ride. While acceleration might not pin you to the seat, it provides a calming and efficient way to navigate the city.
Tech Showdown: Classic Charm vs. Modern Convenience
The Mini Cooper 3-Door boasts an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with the latest MINI Connected features, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A crisp digital instrument cluster keeps you informed, while the iconic toggle switches add a touch of playful retro charm.
The Leaf prioritizes a sleek, modern aesthetic. Its 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system is compatible with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. Its digital instrument cluster displays essential driving information.
The Leaf also features a standard NissanConnect EV app that lets you remotely monitor the charging status and pre-heat or cool the cabin.
Both Cars Prioritize Protection
The Mini Cooper 3-Door boasts six airbags, ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, stability control, and traction control. It also includes automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning.
