The 2019 Nissan Versa Note is a versatile and practical vehicle that’s ready to take on the challenges involved in daily commutes and driving in urban areas.

5 reasons to buy the 2019 Nissan Versa Note

1. Large storage area 

The ability to carry a lot of cargo is just one of the surprising benefits the 2019 Nissan Versa Note brings. It has a large storage area with a clever design and optimally utilized space. There is 18.8 cu-ft of space behind the second row, which is an impressive number for a subcompact car. The overall capacity increases further by folding down the rear seats, measuring 38.3 cu-ft. Errands such as grocery shopping and carrying your kids’ equipment for afterschool activities are easily manageable with this kind of capacity. 

2. Updated interior 

The cabin of the Nissan Versa Note has always been one of its strongest points. It’s an ideal environment for anyone looking to just get to their destination as comfortably as possible. The 2019 Nissan Versa Note keeps that sentiment, but it does get some upgrades that are only going to make for a better passenger experience. This applies to the connectivity department especially, with standard features now including a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system and Bluetooth® audio streaming. Air conditioning, a four-speaker audio system, and cloth upholstery are also standard. 

3. Excellent fuel economy 

There is one benefit of owning a Nissan Versa Note that value-minded drivers will surely appreciate. The 2019 Nissan Versa Note boasts excellent fuel economy, which is a welcome benefit considering that it’s primarily meant to be used in the city. The 2019 Nissan Versa Note gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined with the standard 1.6L four-cylinder engine.

 

4. Roomy backseat 

The 2019 Nissan Versa Note is one of those subcompact cars that is much larger on the inside than what the exterior indicates. Riding in it, even for taller adult passengers, is pleasant and comfortable. Both rows of seats are wide and provide enough support and room even for longer trips. In the front, you get 40.8 inches of headroom and 41.3 inches of legroom, with rear passenger head- and legroom measuring 38.0 inches and 38.3 inches, respectively. 

5. Sufficient power for city driving 

In terms of performance, the 2019 Nissan Versa Note delivers just enough power to be able to drive around town with ease. You don’t need a massive, potent engine for a subcompact such as the Nissan Versa Note. Instead, it’s powered by a standard 109-hp 107-lb-ft, 1.6L four-cylinder engine, which gives the right amount of push that you need to get to work, go shopping, or run any other errands in the city.
