Which Versa does Edmunds recommend?
Edmunds' Expert Review
Overall rating
The 2019 Nissan Versa has a few things going for it, including a comfortable ride, pretty good fuel economy and a spacious interior. And when had in its most basic trim level, it's one of the least expensive cars on the market. It would certainly make a good choice for anyone who's a Lyft or Uber driver.
But that most inexpensive trim level offers only basic amenities, and the only transmission available is a five-speed manual. We think most shoppers will be attracted to the Versa's SV trim level with its optional Special Edition package. But for that price, the only thing the Versa has in its corner is high fuel economy. Most rival cars offer more power and nicer interior materials.
So while the most inexpensive Versa might make the most sense, it's the least appealing version of the car. If you absolutely need a new vehicle, and interior and cargo space are at the top of your list, the Versa might work out OK. Otherwise, we recommend checking rival sedans that are more appealing, such as the Chevrolet Sonic, Kia Rio and Toyota Yaris.
2019 Nissan Versa configurations
The 2019 Nissan Versa is a subcompact sedan available in S, S Plus and SV trim levels. Every Versa sedan comes standard with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (109 horsepower, 107 pound-feet of torque). The base S trim offers only a five-speed manual transmission. The S Plus and the SV come standard with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
Standard equipment on the base S includes 15-inch steel wheels, power mirrors, manual locks and crank windows, a rearview camera, a 7.0-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth, a USB port, and a four-speaker sound system with an auxiliary audio jack.
The S Plus adds a CVT automatic transmission, cruise control and a rear spoiler.
The SV trim adds upgraded cloth upholstery, a height-adjustable driver seat, a driver-seat armrest, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, power locks and windows, chrome exterior door handles and keyless entry. The SV's Special Edition package adds 15-inch alloy wheels, foglights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, push-button start, a vehicle immobilizer and Nissan's Easy-Fill Tire Alert.

Nissan Versa vs. the competition
2019 Nissan Versa
2019 Nissan Sentra
Nissan Versa vs. Nissan Sentra
If you like the idea of getting the most space for the least amount of money but want a car with more traditional looks and a bit more space, the bigger Nissan Sentra deserves a look. You'll get a bigger engine and all the aforementioned extra space as well as nicer materials on the inside, too. Of course, the Sentra costs more. But we think it's money well spent.
Nissan Versa vs. Mitsubishi Mirage
The Versa and the Mirage are two of the least expensive cars on sale today. Alas, neither car is all that great. But in this matchup, we give the nod to the Versa. The Mirage has higher fuel economy but that's about it. Driving the Mirage is, frankly, miserable. It's not a car we recommend.
Nissan Versa vs. Hyundai Accent
The Hyundai Accent is proof that small, affordable cars don't have to look and feel inexpensive. Styling inside and out is borderline handsome, and the car's solid build quality and long warranty coverage are other draws. Of course, the nicer options are only available on the more expensive trim levels, and not everyone will find the seats to their liking. But the Accent is a more appealing car than the Versa overall.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Nissan Versa?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
