Nissan manufactures many different vehicles, but some cars and SUVs are more popular than others. According to its first-quarter 2020 U.S. sales report, Nissan's best-selling vehicles are the Altima, Sentra and Versa sedans. However, its Rogue SUV has recorded even better sales numbers. A blend of fresh and modern styling along with generous features, even on standard models, gives each Nissan a boost when it comes to the competition. While hybrid and electric vehicles don't currently comprise many of Nissan's sales, its top-selling cars have respectable fuel economy ratings.

Sentra

According to its first-quarter 2020 sales report, Nissan sold a total of 23,879 Sentra models. This number is down from 56,793 units in the same time period in 2019. Its sales numbers may have dipped slightly during the first quarter of 2020, but the Sentra remains a strong contender if you're in the market for an efficient and well-equipped small sedan. The fact that the Sentra is fully redesigned for 2020, with new styling and more standard safety features, makes it a particularly appealing choice.

The 2020 Sentra features a more sculpted and sleek look compared with outgoing models. You'll find the car in three trims, starting with the base S followed by the SV and SR. The S features a 149-horsepower 2.0-liter engine and a seven-inch touchscreen display. The fuel economy rating is 29 city and 39 highway miles per gallon. Blind sport warning and an automatic emergency braking system with pedestrian detection technology comes standard on the base model.

Upgrading to the mid-level SV gets Apple CarPlay integration, a push-button ignition, 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels and an advanced driver-assist display. The top level SR is equipped with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, LED headlights and a sport cloth trim with contrasting orange stitching. Each model has the same engine and transmission and nearly identical fuel economy ratings.

Altima

According to the same sales report, Nissan sold 47,347 models of the Altima in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 51,480 in the same quarter of 2019. To date, the Altima is Nissan's best-selling vehicle. The 2020 Nissan Altima offers a more spacious interior than its smaller counterparts and has plenty of room for passengers and cargo. This Nissan sedan seats five and has 60/40 split folding rear seats.

The Altima has seven trims available, starting with the base S up to the Platinum VC-Turbo model, which has a 2.0-liter Variable Compression Turbo engine with shapeshifting pistons for improved power and efficiency. The base model has an eight-inch touchscreen display and a suite of standard safety features. Upgrade to the SR VC-Turbo if you're looking for LED headlights along with a bit more power and performance, or the SV if you want a power-sliding glass moonroof. The SL has leather seating, while the Platinum has interior accent lighting. The highest-level Platinum VC-Turbo features outside mirror memory along with a memory driver's seat.

Available all-wheel-drive makes the Altima a respectable choice for snow and other tricky driving conditions. Standard safety features include blind spot and lane departure warnings, automatic braking with pedestrian detection, rear cross traffic alert and rear automatic braking. In terms of fuel efficiency you can expect an estimated 32 combined miles per gallon on the Altima FWD and 30 combined miles per gallon on the Altima AWD.

Versa

Nissan sold 12,176 Versa models in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 24,992 during the same time period in 2019. Its most recent sales figures make the Versa the third most popular Nissan car as of March 2020. The 2020 Nissan Versa is a practical and budget-focused sedan that can seat up to five. It's also equipped with numerous safety features, including Nissan's innovative automatic emergency braking system with pedestrian detection technology, lane departure warning and high beam assist. Handy 60/40 split-fold rear seats maximize the small sedan's cargo capacity.

You'll find the Versa in three trims: S, SV and SR. The S also comes in a choice of five-speed manual transmission or automatic transmission. It has the previously listed standard safety features and a seven-inch touchscreen display along with Bluetooth streaming technology. Upgrading to the SV gets you 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels along with a more advanced seven-inch touchscreen display, blind spot warning and heated exterior mirrors with LED turn signal indicators.

The highest-level SR trim has 17-inch five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels along with sport cloth seat trim, a remote start system and LED headlights. Each model comes with a 122-horsepower engine and is available only in front-wheel-drive. Fuel economy ratings are 32 city and 40 highway miles per gallon for each trim.

Rogue

Total sales of the Rogue in the first quarter of 2020 were 59,716, compared with 93,814 during the first quarter of 2019. According to Nissan, the 2018 Nissan Rogue was labeled the best-selling SUV in America. The 2019 Rogue was awarded the Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buy Award for the fifth year in a row. With seating for five and 39 cubic feet of cargo room (increased to 70 cubic feet when the second row seats are folded down), the 2020 Nissan Rogue is especially popular among families.

While the features are the same in both the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive trims, the fuel economy dips to 25 city and 32 highway MPG with all-wheel-drive.
