If you are shopping for a subcompact sedan offering a roomy interior and an efficient powertrain, consider test driving a 2018 Versa S Plus. This Nissan, which is slotted below the larger Sentra, is a great first vehicle for students or couples on a budget.
Â
The 2018 Versa runs on a 1.6-liter I-4 engine, which puts out 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to a continuously variable transmission with front-wheel drive, netting an incredible 31 mpg city and 39 mpg highway. According to Motor Trend, you can expect to pay around $4,940 in fuel costs over the first five years.
Â
Inside, the Versa is wonderfully spacious, which takes some drivers by surprise. Instead of feeling cramped and claustrophobic, like other subcompact sedans, this variant promises to keep front- and rear-seat passengers happy. The trunk alone can accommodate up to 14.9 cubic feet of cargo, which is a considerable amount. Standard features on the S Plus trim are notable as well, including cruise control, chrome exterior door handles, a rear spoiler and air deflectors. This model is also equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and a four-speaker stereo system.
