INTERIOR
The Versa lives up to its name by providing a surprisingly roomy interior and multiple cargo configurations, proving it’s a truly versatile area. It also demonstrates that it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
More Than Meets the Eye
The Nissan Versa is far roomier than it might appear at first glance. Its best-in-class front headroom and legroom means drivers of all statures will be comfortable while behind the wheel. It can accommodate up to five riders, and even those passengers in the back row will be comfortable.

The Versa’s flexible space, including 60/40-split fold-down rear seats, enhances its functionality. The 15 cubic feet of trunk space is large enough for six carry-ons, and its lower, wider rear opening makes it easy for you to stow and go.
A Medley of Amenities
Settle into the comfort of soft-touch surfaces, with supportive available Zero Gravity front seats that may have you wanting to take the long way home. Additional available creature comforts include heated front seats and automatic climate control.
Getting an early start? Use the available Remote Engine Start System to prep your Versa by adjusting the climate to your preference and engaging the ignition. Regardless of season or weather, you and your Versa will be in sync, ensuring that it’s ready to roll when you are.
PERFORMANCE
The Nissan Versa is a daily driver that delivers reliable performance while also being a delight to command. What’s even better? You’ll be able to keep the party going for more miles thanks to its impressive fuel efficiency.

The 1.6-liter engine delivers 122 horsepower, sufficient to provide a zippy performance when you’re out and about. Its standard 5-speed manual transmission enables you to take direct control of the power, ensuring you’ll enjoy a thrilling ride.
The available Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) makes gear changes smooth and seamless. Regardless of which transmission you choose, you’ll be confident in the Versa’s responsive handling.

TECHNOLOGY
Most drivers would agree that technology is a vital aspect of their vehicles. When you’re on the go, you want a means to stay connected and entertained while also remaining safe on the road. The Nissan Versa comes ready to play—and will also work behind the scenes to protect you.
That’s Infotainment
Among its many connectivity features are these standard attributes:

- Bluetooth® for wireless audio streaming and phone connectivity
- Siri® Eyes Free
- Google Assistant with voice recognition
- Speed sensitive volume
Available options enable you to access your music, apps, and contacts via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and use the Wi-Fi Hotspot to utilize them without dipping into your data. Then, power up your device with the available wireless charger.
Stellar Safety
Wish you had eyes in the back of your head? The Versa’s standard RearView Monitor is the next-best thing. You’ll also be well protected thanks to these standard safety features:
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Warning
- Rear Automatic Braking
- High Beam Assist
Meanwhile, Nissan Safety Shield® 360, its available suite of six driver-assistance systems, keeps an eye on all sides of your Versa. It only makes sense then why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has awarded the Nissan Versa its 5-Star Overall Safety Rating.

In the world of subcompacts, there’s fun-sized (the Nissan Versa) and then there’s pint-sized (the Mitsubishi Mirage). Although small in stature, the Versa delivers far more horsepower and nearly three more inches of front legroom than the Mirage. The Nissan continues to bring the thrills, offering a manual transmission—and then helps ensure that you and your fellow fun-seekers remain free from harm.
