Technology-laden, fuel-efficient compact sedan scores award for second consecutive year

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Nissan Versa has been honored for the second year running by being named to the Car and Driver 2024 Editors' Choice list. The publication ranked Versa No. 1 in the "Best Subcompact Cars" category, praising the sedan's fuel efficiency, ride quality and affordability.

The annual Editors' Choice list is compiled after the Car and Driver staff evaluates hundreds of vehicles across 36 categories on multiple factors to determine how well each model achieves its intended mission, how enjoyable it is to drive and its value proposition, ranking each vehicle on a 10-point scale against its direct competitors. The evaluations include on-road driving and instrumented testing.
