NASHVILLE – Make it five in a row for the Nissan Versa Note, which has just been named by Kelley Blue Book to the annual KBB.com "10 Best Back-to-School Cars" list for the fifth consecutive year. In selecting Versa Note, the editors wrote: "The Versa Note subcompact hatchback combines surprising roominess and versatility with appealing options and the lowest starting price of any vehicle on this list."

Vehicles selected for a "Back-to-School" recommendation have to be available for a Kelley Blue Book® Fair Purchase Price of less than $20,000 and meet the editors' criteria of being safe and stylish. The 2017 Versa Note has a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price1 (MSRP) of $15,480.

"Versa Note, as the KBB.com editors write, is a car that parents and students can agree on," said Scott Shirley, vice president, Nissan Chief Marketing Manager & Marketing Operations, Nissan North America, Inc. "Versa Note continues to offer a great combination of available safety and security features, combined with the sporty style and roomy, versatile interior that is perfect for the demands of life on campus and off."

The Versa Note received a range of enhancements for 2017, including a new front-end design, refined interior and a vibrant new exterior color, Deep Blue Pearl. It is offered in four well-equipped models: S Plus, SV, SR and SL. Each is powered by a 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder matched to a smooth Xtronic transmission, helping achieve 39 miles per gallon highway fuel economy2.
