MVP Form: Three Nissan Cars Recognized for Their Value

A triumvirate of Nissan models – the Kicks, Frontier, and Sentra – have each earned a spot on the 2024 Best Value New Car list, curated annually by Cars.com. This list is an Affordability Report that assesses which vehicles offer the most value for their cost. As the average price of new cars has reached its lowest point in over a year, there’s no better time to get a great value on a brand-new Nissan – which you can find in abundance here at Steven Nissan.

And The Award Goes To …

Three models were honored as part of Cars.com’s 2024 list: the 2024 Nissan Kicks S clinched Best Value: Subcompact SUV; the 2024 Frontier King Cab S 4×2 earned Best Value: Midsize Pickup; and the 2024 Sentra S secured third place in the Compact Car category. The 2024 Nissan Versa SV also earned an honorable mention.

The Kicks, Sentra, and Versa models appeared on the list for the second consecutive year, having also been featured on Cars.com’s 2023 Best Value New Cars Report. The Frontier made an impressive debut on the list, besting prominent names like the Toyota Tacoma and Chevy Colorado.

To determine the winners, each contender was evaluated against their median list price and annual fuel costs to identify which “offer the best bang for consumers’ buck,” according to the official website. Additionally, Cars.com surveys were used to discern which finalists deliver the popular features drivers want.

The Substance to Back It Up

Speaking of what drivers want, the 2024 Nissan Kicks (starting MSRP: $21,340) offers top-tier fuel efficiency and is packed with desirable features and equipment, including standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As our recent preview of the 2025 Kicks alluded to, this subcompact SUV is enlarging its proportions and growing even more generous with this year’s upcoming model.

The 2024 Nissan Frontier (starting MSRP: $30,510) took top marks in the competitive midsize pickup field thanks to its unique design, impressive specs, and practical convenience features. The 2024 Frontier boasts a standard 310-horsepower, 3.8-liter direct-injection V6 engine and a towing capacity of up to 6,640 pounds. It’s a significant value proposition, considering the Frontier typically sells for ten grand less than the midsize pickup segment’s $43,412 median price.

Meanwhile, the 2024 Nissan Sentra (starting MSRP: $21,180) proves that a high-quality, small car is tough to beat when it comes to value. The gap in average fuel economy between compact cars and small SUVs has significantly narrowed thanks to advancements in engine technology. The Sentra makes a compelling argument for investing in a compact car that also offers the bonus of spirited and sporty performance.
