Fuel-sipping and practical

If what you are looking for is an effective daily people and cargo carrier, then the 2015 Nissan Versa might just be the ideal option for you. It’s a subcompact sedan that looks and moves inconspicuously and can get passengers from one end of town to the other quickly and hassle-free. This is mostly thanks to its compact size, allowing a high level of maneuverability that’s necessary to successfully navigate urban traffic. On top of it, there is a certain utilitarian aspect to it, reflected through the sizable trunk and useful interior storage options.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Nissan Versa

1. Excellent mileage 

Optimal fuel consumption is one of the strongest suits of the 2015 Nissan Versa. It boasts excellent fuel economy, which is practically a must for a car that’s mostly driven on city streets. That’s thanks to an engine that’s appropriate for a small car such as the Versa, and its small size and compact shape. It gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined with the standard 1.6L four-cylinder engine. 

2. Staying connected 

Although characterized by a minimalistic approach in general, the 2015 Nissan Versa still comes with enough amenities for an enjoyable ride. It’s equipped with a few features that are there to keep passengers connected and entertained while on the road. Standard equipment includes cloth upholstery, Bluetooth® phone connectivity, a two-speaker sound system, a trip computer, air conditioning, and steering wheel audio controls. 

3. Spacious seats 

The 2015 Nissan Versa is also a good solution for a family vehicle. It has a seating capacity of five, with the back seat perfectly suitable to accommodate three adult passengers, as well. Headroom for front-row passengers measures 39.8 inches, with 41.8 inches of legroom. Rear seat head and legroom measure 36.6 inches and 37 inches, respectively. 

4. Fitting powertrain for urban driving 

In the performance department, the 2015 Nissan Versa Note is a typical city car. It has an adequate engine and sufficient power to carry people and cargo through urban traffic quickly and effectively. It’s powered by a standard 1.6L four-cylinder engine, generating 109 hp and 107 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a standard five-speed manual transmission. 

5. Lots of room for storage 

Finally, the storage room is another department that sets the 2015 Nissan Versa apart. It has a cargo capacity that can handle most of your day-to-day hauling needs, as well as accommodate your family’s luggage for a short weekend trip. It has a 14.9-cu-ft trunk, enough to fit grocery bags for the whole week, a couple of small suitcases, or several pieces of sporting equipment.
