Yahoo Autos Cargo Space and Storage
Cargo Space and Storage Rating:
By nature, the Nissan Versa Note is a practical piece of machinery that can hold an abundant amount of luggage when needed. While the Nissan Versa sedan has more cargo volume behind its rear seats (a.k.a. in its trunk), the Note is just as useful as its hatchback rivals. It doesn't have extraordinary interior cubby storage, but it does have several useful compartments.

Why do we use ping-pong balls?
To determine the interior space available to stash travel essentials, we've devised a range of measuring protocols. We use six beverage containers ranging in size and shape to gauge cupholder accommodation. We stack, stuff, and arrange 9-by-14-by-22-inch cardboard boxes to quantify the number of airline-carry-on-size suitcases that will fit in a trunk or folded seat's cargo space. To measure irregularly shaped gloveboxes, door pockets, and console bins, we fill each container with 1.5-inch-diameter ping-pong balls. It's tempting to convert the number of spheres to a volume (cubic inches), but we resist that calculation because-as with the box of tissues, 12-ounce can of soda, or gallon of milk you might stash in these compartments-there are voids between the balls. Random packing (our procedure) nullifies approximately one-third of the available space. The negative space between the balls could theoretically be reduced to 25 percent of an irregular shape with precise stacking, but while we might be pedantic, we're not crazy.
Interior Cubby Storage
The Versa Note doesn't have a center-console bin, or for that matter impressive interior cubby storage. However, it has a gigantic glovebox that can hold a ton of stuff. There's also a useful slot on the center console for placing a smartphone, and a hidden compartment above the glovebox that will hold small items. This Nissan is also available with an adjustable floor in the cargo area that can be raised to create a flat surface or lowered to increase cargo volume.
