It's serenely quiet and packed with tech, offering a compelling, slightly quirky alternative to established European luxury SUVs for buyers who want drama as much as comfort.

The author of this comparison probably doesn't read what they're writing. Almost 100 Nm is a small difference? XD And by the way, the Leaf is listed at 6.9 s to the first 100 km/h while the rival is over 8 s — that's not a small difference… it's a shame to read this comparison with so many mistakes; better to take a drive and judge for yourself.
