2015 Versa
CG Says: The 2015 Nissan Versa sedan gets updated front and rear styling, some updated interior components, and standard Bluetooth connectivity on all models. Note that the Versa sedan is also available in a hatchback body style called Versa Note (see separate report). Although the base S and mid-level S Plus versions of the Versa are somewhat sparsely equipped by today’s standards, the top-line SV and SL models have all the expected features at a price that looks good even against smaller subcompact rivals. Power can feel meager at higher speeds and some of the interior materials don’t impress, but if interior room, cargo space, and high fuel economy are tops on your list, the Versa is a must-see.
