2025 Nissan Versa

If you want an versatile everyday vehicle that won’t break the bank, you should definitely consider theĀ 2025 Nissan Versa. This sleek compact sedan promises plenty of bang for the buck with its punchy powertrain and well-equipped cabin. Here’s a quick rundown on this terrific model.

Power and Performance

Propping up the hood of any Versa reveals a naturally aspirated 1.6L inline-4 engine developing 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. The base Versa S comes standard with a 5-speed manual transmission, but it can be switched out for the Xtronic continuously variable transmission that’s exclusively featured on the SV and SR trims. Drivers will enjoy brisk acceleration and a fuel economy of up to 40 MPG highway.

Ride and Handling

The Versa handles like a champ, whether you’re traversing through crowded city streets or taking a scenic route through the countryside. That’s a result of its refined electric power-assisted steering and a well-tuned suspension setup consisting of independent front struts and a semi-independent torsion beam in the rear. Along with providing good agility, the suspension delivers a smooth riding experience with its excellent ability to absorb bumps.

Passenger Cabin and Amenities

Step into the Versa and you’ll be greeted by a spacious interior that has been constructed with premium materials and offers a number of creature comforts. Despite the car’s small size, it has no problem seating five people and includes 44.5 inches of front legroom. The trunk boasts up to 15 cubic feet of cargo space, which is more than enough for several pieces of large luggage. Available 60/40 split-folding rear seats fold down to give you even more room.

In addition to a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat and plush cloth upholstery, the Versa can be had with door pocket lighting and a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror with universal remote. The SR trim adds style with its sport cloth-wrapped seats with red accenting and red contrast stitching found throughout the cabin. It also gets a leather-wrapped steering wheel and heated front seats.

Infotainment System

A 7-inch NissanConnect infotainment touchscreen is housed in the center of the dashboard on S and SV models, but the SR is equipped with a larger 8-inch display. The latter is accompanied by a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and SiriusXM satellite radio capability. All trims provide support for wireless audio streaming and phone connectivity with Bluetooth technology.

Driver Assistance Technology

As you can expect from any Nissan, the Versa offers various driver assists to help keep you safe. These include standard brake assist, high beam assist, and lane departure warnings. The SV and SR receive standard blind spot warnings and a driver attention monitor that watches for excessive fatigue by keeping track of driver inputs and reminds you to pull over and get some rest.

The Versa may be the least inexpensive model in Nissan’s lineup, but combination of dependable performance and great amenities makes it a compelling choice. Make a stop at Mears Nissan in Canton, OH today and discover it for yourself!
