Doesn't get too in-depth, but covers some of the major comparison factors - range, efficiency, power, and price.

While the e-Golf bested the competition in the compact and (per EPA) “midsize” class, there weren’t many pretenders to the throne. At 126 miles per gallon equivalent in the city and 105 miles per gallon equivalent on the highway, the EPA estimates it will cost $0.87 to drive 25 miles in an e-Golf. The compact EV was rated at 83 miles in total range, which keeps it out of the top five among electric vehicles in production.

Its 116 miles per gallon equivalent makes it the most efficient compact vehicle in the U.S. Power stands at 115 horsepower and 199 pounds-feet of torque. Standard equipment includes a fast charger, heated seats, and rear-view camera. Sales begin “in select states” in November.

Volkswagen’s new entry to the segment falls in line with virtually every spec of the Nissan Leaf except price.

Consumers may see the 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf as a bargain compared to the luxury German entries, but the Nissan Leaf and now affordable Ford Focus Electric deliver almost matching specs at much lower prices. As always, a road test should be the deciding factor.

If you configure the Leaf high end SL version that has all the e-golf features eg heated seats, ccs charging, parking assist, it's the same price as the e-Golf, although the Leaf SL has leather seats vs leatherette but has no partial power seats
