2015 Nissan Versa Note review

1. Simple and convenient cabin 

Simplicity and convenience are some of the main characteristics of the 2015 Nissan Versa Note, and they are best seen inside its cabin. It has the basic features that are needed for a calm, cozy ride, without the frills typical of a luxury car that you might never use anyway. It comes with a manually adjustable driver’s seat, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, and air conditioning. Bluetooth® phone connectivity is also standard. 

2. Sufficient passenger room 

If you were concerned that the 2015 Nissan Versa Note might be too small and doesn’t offer enough room for passengers, you’ll be happy to know that that’s not the case. It's a subcompact hatchback with a low roof, but the available space in the cabin is used optimally. There is plenty of room for passengers in both rows. Front headroom measures 38 inches, with those in the back getting 40.8 inches. There is 41.3 inches of legroom for front-row passengers and 38.3 inches in the back. 

3. Decent cargo capacity 

In addition to the roomy cabin, the 2015 Nissan Versa Note comes with a sizable trunk, too. If you want to be able to go on a short trip with your friend or carry a couple of days’ worth of groceries, the Versa Note will accommodate you without a problem. It has a trunk with 18.8 cu-ft of space, which increases to 38.3 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. You can fit your kids’ sporting equipment in there easily, along with a few backpacks or medium-sized suitcases. 

4. Appropriate engine for urban driving 

The 2015 Nissan Versa Note is not a performance-oriented car, so it doesn’t have a mind-blowingly powerful engine under the hood. But it does have an engine that’s appropriate for city driving, which means it helps deliver a quiet and smooth ride and doesn’t need large amounts of gas. It’s a 1.6L four-cylinder that produces 109 hp and 107 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard. 

5. Frugal performance 

Good fuel economy is something that should come with the territory for small city cars. That’s exactly the case with the 2015 Nissan Versa Note. It returns impressive gas mileage, which is largely thanks to the frugal 1.6L four-cylinder engine. The 2015 Nissan Versa Note gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined.
