Here is the challenge, four well known WORLD subcompact hatchback
vehicles, Honda Fit (also known as Jazz), Toyota Yaris, Hyundai Accent
(similar Kia Rio) and the new Nissan Versa Note.
I will only be
comparing North American engines due to the information being US based
in imperial measurements. The remainder of the vehicle interior and
exterior dimensions should be similar among international markets.
Vehicle
prices range from $13000 to just over $20000 US depending on the
transmission and vehicle options chosen. Ratings are out of 10 and are
provided by users of these vehicles, everyday people like you and me.
The
Hyundai Accent has the most powerful engine, the Nissan Versa Note has
the largest interior both passenger and cargo. What is unusual is that
the Versa Note has the least amount of hip room but has the most rear
legroom. So if you are tall and thin this may be a good subcompact for
you.
One other item is the stock tires, they are normally 14" or
15", 16" tires are generally on option these type of vehicles. Fuel
consumption numbers on all these vehicles is excellent for North
American standards. European readers please keep in mind that our
regular fuel here in North America has only 87 octane versus the 95
octane there in Europe. Thus North American production vehicles require
different engines (generally larger) to produce the same power as that
of a smaller European spec engine.
