2019 Versa Note Performance

Affordability and low running costs - that's all the Versa Note is about, and on its bucket list for the remaining days of its hatchback life, the word 'performance' is nowhere to be found. With barely more than 100 hp derived from a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine, the Note manages the 0-60 mph sprint as a casual stroll, taking more than ten seconds to reach the benchmark. Partly to blame is the lackluster engine, but it's made worse by the pairing of a CVT automatic transmission - one that seeks out efficiency over pace. Front-wheel-drive is standard on the Note and the default for the segment, with no rivals offering any alternative.

Engine and Transmission

The Note comes equipped with a single engine option in the form of a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 109 hp and 107 lb-ft. This power is regulated by an automatic continuously variable transmission and directed to the front wheels only. Unfortunately, the engine remains weak and doesn't give this hatchback a lot of pep on the road; to make matters worse, it whines loudly when accelerating hard - an infamous trait of being paired with a continuously variable transmission. One could possibly forgive the protesting powertrain if it was a little more impressive, but with 10.2 seconds needed to get to 60 mph from rest, this is hardly an exciting drive. To be fair, there is enough power for driving around town, assuming you aren't in too much of a rush. Getting up to highway speeds is a chore, though, and the CVT takes an age to get the Note up to speed.

2019 Versa Note Gas Mileage

Burning regular unleaded gasoline, the Versa Note gets estimated city/highway/combined estimates from the EPA of 31/39/34 mpg. This is on par with rivals in the segment, in theory, but actual tested mileage has shown lower results. The more popular Honda Fit returns comparable estimates of 29/36/31 mpg on top-tier trims, but 33/40/36 mpg is achievable with their base-line model. With 10.8 gallons of fuel in a full tank, a total range of 367 miles can be achieved in the Versa Note.
