2017 Honda Fit vs 2017 Nissan Versa Note

For drivers with changing cargo needs looking for a fuel-efficient small car for the daily commute, a subcompact hatchback may hit all the right notes. When you pit the 2017 Honda Fit vs the 2017 Nissan Versa Note, both of these models offer fuel-sipping sensibilities and a surprising amount of cargo space. However, when you look at the top trims of both of these models, it is easy to see that the 2017 Honda Fit EX-L offers several advantages over the 2017 Nissan Versa Note SL.

While both of these subcompact four-door hatchbacks have seating for five passengers, the 2017 Honda Fit EX-L delivers significantly more cargo space. With the rear seats folded down the Honda hatchback can offer up to 52.7 cubic feet of room for transporting luggage and cargo. In contrast, the 2017 Nissan Versa Note SL tops out at just 38.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. The 2017 Honda Fit EX-L also offers 130 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque with its 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which is more engine output than is available from the 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine on the Nissan model.
