2020 Nissan Versa vs. 2020 Chevrolet Spark
If you’re in the market for a subcompact car, you are probably looking for specific things like plentiful standard features, affordable pricing, and good fuel economy. Two of the most popular models in this segment are the 2020 Nissan Versa and the 2020 Chevrolet Spark. We are going to compare these two to show you why the Versa is the better choice.
MSRP
One of the most important things to look for in a car is its cost. The 2020 Nissan Versa is one of the least expensive vehicles in its class, costing several hundred dollars less than the Spark for the base trim.
Fuel Economy
Another way the Versa helps you save is with its fuel-efficient engine. When equipped with the continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Versa returns an EPA-estimated 32 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway1. By comparison, the Spark only gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway2.
Design
The 2020 Nissan Versa was completely redesigned for the 2020 model year, giving it fresh, modern styling. The Spark has had the same design since 2015, and it’s starting to show its age.
Cargo Volume
Another important feature in any new vehicle is the cargo space. While the Versa may be a subcompact car, it still offers 14.7 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk. With the Spark, you will only get 11.1 cubic feet.
Driver Space
If you are a taller driver, you definitely want to choose the Versa. Its new design gives you more legroom in the driver’s seat. This year, it comes with 44.5 inches of legroom in the front, compared to just 41.7 inches in the Spark.
Safety
Even with its low pricing, the Versa still comes standard with a variety of advanced driver safety aids like automatic emergency braking. To get features like this on the Spark, you have to choose an optional package that is only available on the top trim level.
If you’re looking for a compact car that doesn’t skimp on room or features and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, your search can end with the 2020 Nissan Versa. Stop by Rothrock Motors for a test drive today.
