2025 Nissan Versa

Price Range: $17,390 - $21,390

Average

The 2025 Nissan Versa is well built, with lots of space inside and a good package of standard tech and safety features for the money. Fuel economy is another feather in its cap, although we do wish the Versa had a bit more spring in its step. It's a smart choice for an affordable small sedan.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Michael Cantu

Updated: 2/2/2026

The 2025 Nissan Versa is a great option if you're in the market for a budget-friendly small sedan. The Versa is a subcompact car that provides a pleasant driving experience and fuel economy of up to 35 mpg combined. Performance isn't exactly its forte, but it redeems itself by offering a lot of helpful technology and driver assist features for the money. In addition, the Versa has a fairly roomy cabin for its size. The 2025 Versa is mostly a carryover from last year, with the addition of standard LED headlights for all trims plus two years of free maintenance.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

6.2

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Nissan Versa on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

5.5/10

How does the Nissan Versa drive? Economy-minded sedans aren't expected to be quick, but the four-cylinder Versa takes its time getting up to speed. There's little issue driving around town or fitting in with traffic, but the Versa can't pull away quickly or make a tight pass. At the Edmunds test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in a leisurely and somewhat noisy 10.4 seconds.

The Versa stays composed when going around turns and rides smoothly over most surfaces, but like most inexpensive vehicles, it can get bouncy over broken roads. The steering is a little numb and feels too heavy at times, but the Versa will follow your directions. The brakes work well in emergency situations, and the brake pedal makes smooth stops easy.

A short hood and large windows make the Versa easy to see out of. The Versa's advanced driver aids help without being intrusive. Forward collision warning activates with a simple string of beeps. Lane keeping warnings are gentle buzzes. The weak points are a low-resolution rearview camera and an overly sensitive backup collision mitigation system. During our testing, this system mistakenly triggered when a driver was backing out of a mildly inclined driveway, slamming the car to a stop.

Comfort

6.2/10

How comfortable is the Nissan Versa? The seats in the Versa SR we tested are generally firm with comfortable cloth, but they run a little narrow under the shoulders. The lack of sufficient lumbar support might require breaks on longer trips. The rear seats are similarly firm but still comfortable.

It's easy to get into the Versa, and the cabin is relatively roomy. Even at the highest driving position, there is plenty of headroom. It's similarly spacious for passengers in the back, but taller people might touch the headliner.

Wind noise is prevalent, and if the car hits any bumps, you will hear it. We appreciate the climate control's straightforward arrangement of real buttons and knobs and found the vents to be easily adjustable and well placed.

The touchscreen is responsive and clear. The controls on the center stack and steering wheel are straightforward, and you can use the tuning button to scroll through screens, which is easier than poking the screen while driving.

There's good space for a rear-facing child seat in the back. The lower anchor points are hidden between cushions but are easy to locate and reach. Attaching a strap to the rear tether hooks requires wrapping it around the integrated headrests.

In-cabin tech

5.8/10

How’s the tech? Our test car, a top-of-the-line SR trim, came with an 8-inch touchscreen (other trims have a 7-inch screen) and a six-speaker audio system. Clarity at normal volumes is good, but you'll need to turn the volume all the way up to drown out noise at freeway speeds. Onboard navigation isn't offered on the Versa, but most trims come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility, allowing you to get directions on screen powered by your smartphone. Integrating your phone occurs quickly. The SR trim also includes a wireless charging pad.

Storage & cargo

5.1/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Versa has a lot of trunk space for this class of car. Cargo capacity maxes out at 15 cubic feet, more than most competitors, and the trunk is deep enough to accommodate larger items. The load floor is relatively low for a sedan, and the rear seats fold down if needed.

Small-item storage is not a strong suit. The center armrest is optional and can barely fit a smartphone.

Value

6.8/10

Is the Nissan Versa a good value? The Versa offers basic affordability without feeling like you're punishing yourself. It feels tightly built, with higher-quality materials than typical for the class, and provides more pizzazz than your usual econo-sedan. There is interesting tech and enough safety equipment to easily justify the cost of entry, with room to add options and still stay close to $23,000.

Nissan offers a pretty middle-of-the-road warranty with basic coverage for three years/36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for five years/60,000 miles. Hyundai, Kia and Mitsubishi all go up to 10 years/100,000 miles. Roadside assistance is offered for three years/36,000 miles. Most rivals offer better coverage, and some provide free maintenance for up to three years.

MPG

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Versa equipped with the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) has EPA-estimated fuel economy of 35 mpg combined (32 city/40 highway). That's right up at the top of the class and good for a non-hybrid powertrain. Our test Versa soared above that with a 41.1 mpg average on our 115-mile test route that combines street, mountain roads and freeway driving.

X factor

7/10

The Versa has no delusions of grandeur. There are no superfluous paddle shifters, fake vents, or a Sport mode. It's an economy car that offers space and modest safety technology at an attractive value. That said, the steering and handling are decent for the price, and even a few of us will admit we like the style and feel of the flat-bottom steering wheel. This is a slow car. There's no getting around it. But the Versa makes a good effort to avoid being soulless and feeling cheap.

Build & Price

2025 Nissan Versa trim level differences

The 2025 Nissan Versa is a subcompact sedan available in three trims: S, SV and SR. Every Versa is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque) that sends power to the front wheels. A five-speed manual is standard on the S, and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is optional. The CVT is standard on SV and SR models. Compare the 2025 Nissan Versa trim levels in-depth.

Which Versa trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the SV trim is the best pick for the 2025 Versa because it offers the most value. While inexpensive, the base S model is also sparsely equipped. The SV's added features are worth the price bump and include alloy wheels instead of steel wheels with plastic hubcaps, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning.

Competitors to consider

In 2025, the Versa is nearly in a class all by itself. Most other automakers have given up making affordable subcompact sedans. Currently, there's only one true alternative to the Versa: the Mitsubishi Mirage. Although a little higher in price, the Hyundai Venue and Kia Soul are subcompact SUVs that should also be considered. If you're still on the fence about the Versa, our test team's thorough review in the Expert Rating below should help you decide.

Edmunds spotlight: Undeniable value

The Nissan Versa is offered in three trim levels — S, SV and SR — but no matter which trim you choose, you can expect a good amount of features for an affordable price tag. On the inside, the Versa is furnished with a well-built interior and solid materials. Even though the Versa is small in dimensions, it manages to offer quite a spacious cabin that leaves little room for complaint. To top it off, the Versa is fuel-efficient. All in all, Nissan's smallest sedan is a fantastic pick if you're shopping for an inexpensive sedan.

You Get What You Pay For…AND MORE!

Jason Chioino, 02/20/2024

2024 Nissan Versa S 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

Here’s the deal, this is the cheapest car in America. So, that being said, setting expectations accordingly should leave you feeling satisfactory with this vehicle purchase. However, as you become more accustomed to what this Versa sedan has to offer at an astonishingly affordable price tag in the year 2024, you start feeling as if you lucked out and got more than what you payed for. I … chose the base model S trim with the manual gearbox and found that, yes, it’s slow. But when you can rev it a little higher through the gears and hit the corners of the road without feeling like the car is about to flip over, you soon realize that this can be a fun car to take around town and handles better than the main competition (Mitsubishi mirage). One of the upsides of this small displacement four cylinder and low curb weight is the fuel economy. On average I believe the S trim with a manual transmission is supposed to get 30mpg on average? While I do 80% highway driving, I maintain somewhere between 37-38 mpg which Nissan claims highway is supposed to be at 35. As far as being inside the car, the major downside is the lack of ANY soft touch materials. The arm rests of all doors are hard rough plastic, the dash trim pieces all hard rough plastic as well. The seats however are pretty comfortable. The infotainment should have apple carplay and android auto on the base trim I think, but it doesn’t. And the four speaker audio system is eh. It is very surprising however to see driver assistance features like lane departure warning and brake collision mitigation. One weird note about interior features is the almost comically oversized window visors, I have to duck at 5ft 10in to let them down so I don’t hit my head. As far is room in the cabin, it’s not much. But I can fit behind myself just fine. However, taller people in the 6ft range will probably brush their heads on the headliner as this is not a large car. Moving towards the rear, the trunk is a great size for this car. I make trips to the dump and can fit 8-10 trash bags easily inside or a few suitcases of reasonable size. It is weird though, that the base trim will not allow you to fold down the back seats? Cost cutting I guess, but I’d rather you lose the rear parking sensors and keep the folding seats, even if it wasn’t a 60-40 split fold. All in all the Versa, I believe if you want a good commuter car that’s a fuel sipper, and want to have a 300$ car payment in the year 2024, the Versa is an EXCELLENT option, (even with the Jatco CVT, keep this routinely maintained).

2021 Nissan Versa SV 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl CVT)

I like the 2021 Versa because the name says it all. This is a versatile vehicle. The handling is awesome, the fuel economy is outstanding. But the thing I love the most has to be the technology built into this compact. This car has the technoloby of higher end cars which for its class makes it, I believe one of the safest and more reliable vehicles in the market. Nissan has a good …

2021 Nissan Versa S 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

We bought our 2021 Versa to tow behind our motorhome. To do this it must be a standard shift and not have the adaptive cruise control, so we bought the base model. The only option it had was floor mats. I love the fact this car has features typically optional on other cars. Love the handling and versatility of the car. The trunk is huge. With the stick shift it's fun to drive. I would …
