Prices are unchanged from the previous year for the 2016 Versa Note, Nissan’s subcompact hatchback, which again starts at $15,005 with destination, and the midrange SV trim level has more standard equipment.

The 2016 Versa Note SV starts at $17,155, including an $825 destination charge, but standard equipment now includes the contents of the SV Convenience Package, which was $690 extra last year. It includes a backup camera, Nissan Connect smartphone apps integration, hands-free text messaging, a 5-inch color screen, Bluetooth streaming audio, satellite radio (subscription required) and the Divide-N-Hide height-adjustable cargo floor.
Other Versa Note versions carry over from 2015 except for new color choices. All come with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, and all except the base S have a continuously variable automatic transmission. The S trim comes only with a five-speed manual. The Versa sedan also carries over except for minor trim changes.
Small-car sales have shrunk with falling gas prices and a continuing shift to crossover SUVs from cars, so Nissan’s pricing strategy reflects the competitive nature of the market.
