The sedan segment in the automotive industry is one of the most popular categories, but these sedans often are differentiated between sizes. To keep it simple, there are subcompact, compact, midsize and fullsize sedans listed from smallest to largest. On the Toyota lineup, the Yaris hatchback takes the place of a subcompact sedan. Our team here at Cox Toyota is going to compare the smallest sedan on the Toyota lineup, the 2016 Corolla, to the 2016 Nissan Versa Sedan. The 2016 Versa is considered subcompact, whereas the Corolla is considered compact.
Drivers will first notice the price difference. The 2016 Toyota Corolla is priced considerably higher than the 2016 Nissan Versa Sedan, and that is mostly because of the size difference between the two vehicles. Additional standard features and performance capabilities also factor into the price difference. Both vehicles offer an excellent fuel economy and are equipped with similar size engines. The 2016 Corolla L was compared to the 2016 Versa S, which are the base models for both vehicles in an effort to keep this comparison fair and easy to comprehend.
