Serving Cincinnati, OH, Louisville, KY, and Fairfield, OH

A compact sedan is a great choice for the drivers who’re looking to save money. The 2019 Nissan Versa continues to impress with its spacious seating and value-packed features. Affordable pricing makes the new Versa even more rewarding. Let’s see how the 2019 Nissan Versa compares to the 2019 Toyota Corolla.

Fuel Economy

With the cost of fuel expected to rise at any moment, it’s more important than ever to choose an economical vehicle. The 2019 Nissan Versa’s fuel-efficient design makes it ideal for daily commuting. A frugal 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine comes standard. While some drivers will enjoy changing gears with the Versa’s five-speed manual transmission, you can save even more gas with Nissan’s available Xtronic CVT. According to the latest EPA estimates, you can expect the CVT-equipped Versa to return 31 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. By comparison, Toyota rates the Corolla to return 28 mpg in town and 36 mpg on the highway. Although the Corolla Eco can match the Versa’s combined fuel economy rating, it has a far more expensive MSRP.

Value

With a starting MSRP of less than $13,000, the 2019 Nissan Versa proves to be a genuine bang for the buck. Very few cars give you as much value for your money. A number of attractive features come standard. You’ll especially enjoy the Versa’s standard 7.0-inch touch screen. It’s noticeably larger than the Corolla’s standard 6.1-inch display. In order to get the Corolla with a 7.0-inch touch screen, buyers are forced to step up to a more expensive trim. Furthermore, only the Versa’s available NissanConnect infotainment system provides Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These smartphone integration features make it easier for you to access your favorite mobile apps. Remember, Toyota lists the Corolla with a steeper starting price of $18,700.

Exterior Appearance

Both of these cars are considered to be strong values. However, the 2019 Nissan Versa Note gives you even more for your money. A larger 7.0-inch touch screen comes standard on the new Versa Note, which dwarfs the Toyota Corolla’s less advanced 5.0-inch infotainment screen. In order to get the Corolla with a touch-screen display, you must step up to a more expensive trim. You’ll also appreciate the Versa Note’s standard Hands-Free Text Messaging Assistant, which enables you to safely send and respond to texts. Nissan's Easy-Fill Tire Alert system is another feature not offered on the Toyota Corolla. If you’re a serious music fan, don’t miss out on the Versa Note’s available Rockford Fosgate sound system. A premium audio system isn’t available on the new Toyota Corolla.

Although the 2019 Toyota Corolla is a strong contender, it loses this comparison to the 2019 Nissan Versa.
