2015 Nissan Versa vs. 2015 Ford Fiesta

Among compact sedans, few models have had as distinguished a recent history as have the Nissan Versa and the Ford Fiesta. For the Versa, it has seen a revamped style that places it more in keeping with its Nissan sedan siblings, while the Fiesta has, for its part, been one of the more popular worldwide models in recent memory. So how do they fare against one another?

In comparing the 2015 Nissan Versa vs. the 2015 Ford Fiesta, it’s important to note that they are much more similar than they are different. Both are spacious, engaging to drive, and highly efficient. However, there are a few key areas where they differ. The most obvious area where the Versa stands alone is in interior comfort, which has long been a staple of the model. With a significant edge in passenger and cargo volume, the 2015 Nissan Versa offers distinct comfort advantage for up to five occupants. And, despite its slightly larger size, it also offers a clear edge in fuel economy as well, a result of its popular Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
