​​Nissan Sentra, Frontier, and Versa Take Top Awards in Cars.com Best Value New Cars List​

For years, Nissan has been known for offering the best values in the automotive business. Having great value comes from the idea that giving you more for your money should always be the best reason to buy or lease a new Nissan. 

Cars.com agrees with that idea. In fact, they recently named the 2025 Sentra S, 2025 Frontier S 4X2 King Cab, and the 2025 Versa SV as their top picks in each category in the Best Value New Cars list. The Sentra took the top spot among compact cars, the Versa in subcompact cars, and the Frontier in the midsize pickup truck category.  

Our 2025 Ariya EVOLVE+ FWD was in the top three in the electric vehicles category, too! 

As one of the top websites for vehicle listings in the U.S.A., the Cars.com editorial team looks at affordable mainstream vehicles. Based on their evaluations, the editorial team focuses on vehicles that offer what consumers really want in their vehicles. That includes connectivity, infotainment, driver assistance technology, and active safety features. They also look at fuel efficiency and running costs, as well as the vehicle’s base pricing. 

This makes it the third straight year Cars.com has recognized multiple Nissan models in its Best Value New Cars list. For 2024, top honors went to the Kicks S and the Frontier S 4X4 King Cab. The year prior, the Kicks S, Sentra S, and Versa SV were also on top of their categories.  

The 2025 Versa is one of the few vehicles with a base MSRP price of under $20,000. The S model’s base MSRP price is just $17,195—the absolute best value in the business. With a sharp design and spacious cabin, the Versa doesn’t skimp on safety and has the most standard features in its class.  

For something larger, the 2025 Sentra simply gives you more. NissanConnect is just one in a long list of standard features. Nissan Safety Shield 360 bundles the driver assistance features you need to be protected on the road. All for a base MSRP price starting from $21,590.  

If you are looking for a pickup truck, the midsize Frontier is a great choice. With standard V6 power, the Frontier can tow up to 7,150 pounds thanks to a fully boxed ladder frame. It also includes a 12.3-inch NissanConnect infotainment touchscreen and Nissan Safety Shield 360, all with a starting base MSRP of $32,050.  

Not to be missed is the Ariya electric vehicle, a versatile and practical SUV for today’s driver. The EVOLVE+ FWD single-motor trim can deliver up to 289 miles of range from a 87-kilowatt-hour battery. It also offers the latest safety and driver assistance technology to keep you and your Ariya on the road. The 2025 Ariya starts from an MSRP price of $39,770.
