If you are looking for the best trunk-mounted bike rack for your 2016 Nissan Versa, look no further than the Thule OutWay # TH45JV, or the 3-bike version # TH56BV. This rack uses anti-sway cradles with highly effective TPE pads which are designed to absorb vibration and limit the amount of movement on your bikes; this will prevent the bikes from making contact with your Versa or each other.
The OutWay attaches to your Nissan with 2 retractable cables and has adjustable arms to ensure your bikes will always be level. It has integrated security measures as well, with locking covers over the release levers which secure the rack to your vehicle and an integrated cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack. This is a lightweight, 13 lb rack which makes it easy to handle, and it has a weight capacity of 33 lbs per bike. I've added a link to a video review of this rack for you to check out.
Additionally, please note that when using a hanging rack like the OutWay # TH45JV, you may need a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 if your bike is dual-suspension, has a step-through frame or you want to carry a small children's bike. The bar will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack. I've added a link to a video review of the adapter so you can see exactly how it works.
