2015 Nissan Versa Note vs. 2015 Hyundai Accent

If you’d have predicted a few decades back that the greatest strides in the auto industry would be made within the compact hatchback segment, people likely would have looked at you sideways. Of course, who could have guessed that the so-called “hot-hatch” movement would have occurred, eventually giving rise to the vehicles we see here: the 2015 Nissan Versa Note and 2015 Hyundai Accent. Both offer inviting interior cabins, eye-catching design features and similar powertrains, and they’ve both become favorites of commuters, young families and students alike.

Yet, for all their similarities, these vehicles are different in two significant ways. First, they complement their 1.6L engines with two different transmissions: for the Versa Note, an Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), while a six-speed automatic transmission is found on the Accent. The difference in the CVT is obvious; because it manages the shifting ratios more fluidly, the fuel efficiency of the 2015 Nissan Versa Note greatly exceeds that of the competing Accent. Additionally, with the Versa Note’s higher passenger volume and lower sticker price, the 2015 Nissan Versa Note is yields benefits both during and after its purchase.
