The arrival of 2016 models is upon us at Avondale Nissan, and we haven’t taken a minute to catch our collective breath in weeks. The most recent to rear its head at our dealership is the 2016 Nissan Versa Note, which represents the increasingly competitive compact hatchback segment. That got us thinking, how does the Versa Note stack up to the competition? It’s a little exercise we’ll call “2016 Nissan Versa Note Vs. the Competition.” We think you’ll like it.
2016 Nissan Versa Note Vs. the Competition
First, a few words on the 2016 Nissan Versa Note. This is likely a vehicle you know well, partially by virtue of it being among the most popular models in its segment. It’s the hatchback counterpart to our Versa sedan, and can regularly be found among Top Ten lists for best value, best cars for students, and many more. Believe us when we say that it’s deserving of each of these honors.
How does it stack up?
Class-Best Roominess. When you’re in the market for a hatchback, it’s absolutely crucial that you have room to stow items such as musical gear, groceries, passengers and more. To that end, the Versa Note eclipses every competing model in its class, including the Ford Fiesta’s 97.9 cubic feet and the Honda Fit’s 95.7 cubic feet. The Versa Note responds with an excellent 112.9 cubic feet. Eat your heart out, hatchbacks!
Better Fuel Economy. As with the interior space, fuel economy is also high on the list of buyer demands. So, with regard to the Fiesta (36 mpg), Sonic (35 mpg) and Hyundai Accent (38 mpg), how does the 2016 Nissan Versa’s 40 highway mpg hit ya? Right in the kisser, that’s where.

Tomorrow’s Tech, Today. When thinking about how much you’ll enjoy your new Nissan Versa Note, it’s important to feel like you’re getting something the competitors can’t offer. To that end, the Versa Note now offers the Around View Monitor, which uses radar to provide a bird’s-eye view to make parking and maneuvering easier. Care to venture a guess which competitors also offer this technology? Hint: you won’t find any.
Of course, you’d expect the Versa Note to bring all of these terrific perks with a hefty pricetag as well, wouldn’t you? Well, with a starting MSRP of just $14,180, it comes in more than a thousand dollars beneath the starting price of both the Honda Fit and Chevy Sonic. So what are you waiting for? Come test drive your 2016 Nissan Versa Note at Avondale Nissan today!
