History/Overview
The Nissan Versa is a mainstay of Canada’s small-car marketplace. Formerly available as both a sedan and the Versa Note hatchback, a 2021 redesign brought an all-new sedan and eliminated the hatchback, which has effectively been replaced by the brand’s Kicks crossover.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
There are no changes to the Nissan Versa for 2022.
Available Trims
Nissan offers the Versa in S, SV, and SR trim levels. All are powered by a 1.6L four-cylinder engine. S starts with a five-speed manual transmission and can be optioned with a continuously variable automatic (CVT), which is standard in SV and SR models.
Standard Features
Versa S comes with 15-inch steel wheels with covers, auto on/off headlights, fog lights, A/C, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, and a four-speaker stereo.
The Versa’s standard driver assistance package includes forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and rear automatic braking.
SV trim adds blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a driver alertness monitor, 16-inch alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, automatic A/C, keyless entry, heated front seats, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
SR brings 17-inch wheels, LED headlights, passive keyless entry, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and six-speaker audio.
Fuel Economy
Nissan’s fuel consumption estimates for the Versa are 8.6/6.7 L/100 km (city/highway) with the manual transmission, and 7.4/5.9 L/100 km with the CVT.
Competition
The Nissan Versa faces fewer competitors than it did during the subcompact car segment’s heyday. They include the Mitsubishi Mirage, Chevrolet Spark, and the Kia Rio.
