Even though the 2020 Nissan Versa is smaller than the 2020 Toyota Corolla, it brings along slightly more front headroom and legroom than the latter vehicle, along with more rear hip room. The 2020 Versa also enjoys a larger trunk and the greater cargo volume that entails. This is quite a victory for a vehicle with such a substantially lower price point.

Environmentally Friendly Subcompact Car

In addition to its superior fuel economy, the 2020 Nissan Versa is rated as being healthier for the environment than the 2020 Toyota Corolla. The EPA rates the 2020 Nissan Versa at 7 out of 10 in its Green Vehicle Guide. The 2020 Toyota Corolla, on the other hand, merely scores a 5 to 6. This means that the 2020 Versa pumps out up to 8 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the 2020 Corolla every 15,000 miles.

This environmental consciousness gets the 2020 Nissan Versa the designation of being a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) from the EPA. The 2020 Toyota Corolla, for its part, is classified as a mere Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV).
