2019 Nissan Versa

2019 Nissan Versa Expert Review
The 2019 Nissan Versa sedan represents an increasingly difficult-to-find creature: a safe, reliable and nicely equipped new car for under $13,500. The Versa is miserly with fuel, but not interior accommodations, and that includes its trunk. The base model is a bit Spartan but gets the job done. Rivals such as the Toyota Yaris iA, Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent all cost significantly more than the base Versa, although admittedly are also better equipped. Moving up the Versa trim ladder, however, quickly remedies this situation, offering options like cruise control and Intelligent Key remote with push-button start. Regardless of which trim you choose, power will be supplied by a 109-horsepower 4-cylinder engine not as peppy as a Kia Accent or Honda Fit, but still acceptable.

Driving the 2019 Nissan Versa

The Nissan Versa has held the title of the "least expensive car in America" for over a decade. But in its all-new third generation, the Versa has relinquished its title and appears to be a better car for it. The 2020 Nissan Versa starts about $2,000 more than the model it replaces. But this price increase gets you a modern-looking, better-driving Versa with more standard features than the outgoing model.

The redesigned Versa sits 2.3 inches lower, is 1.8 inches wider and has a 1.6-inch-longer profile than the previous generation. Its styling bears a strong resemblance to its larger sibling, the Nissan Altima, which is a big step up for the subcompact. And while the price has increased, you're getting more features than before. Formerly top-trim-exclusive features such as power windows, power locks, and keyless entry with push-button start are now standard on the base S trim level.

The new non-turbocharged 1.6-liter engine makes 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 13 hp and 5 lb-ft over the old model. It's paired with a new continuously variable automatic transmission, as well. Those aren't huge bumps, but in a car like this every little bit helps, and the extra power comes with no fuel economy penalty.

Overall, these changes add up to a significantly better car than the one it replaces. The Versa is worth considering if you need a subcompact car with modern features but don't want to break the bank.

Overview
The 2020 Nissan Versa is revitalized with a comprehensive makeover that has the previously subpar subcompact sedan looking like a value superstar. Along with a sleeker-looking exterior and a more upscale interior, the 2020 Versa sedan boasts driver assists such as adaptive cruise control and rear automated emergency braking that's currently not available on any of its rivals. Although the Nissan is no longer the cheapest new car sold in America, the Versa now has the style and substance to compete with the best subcompact cars on the market.
