2021 Nissan Versa

The 2021 Nissan Versa subcompact sedan offers an exceptional level of refinement with a fresh, exciting design and technology and safety features not usually found in the segment.

Offering the most standard safety technology in its class, the Versa features available Nissan Safety Shield 360 that helps provide front, side and rear safety monitoring and intervention technologies.

Design is a key advantage for Versa, combining a dramatic and expressive exterior with a fresh, roomy interior with best-in-class front legroom completed by class-above features and quality.

With the third-generation Versa introduced last year, Nissan has reimagined the entry-level sedan with a design that leaves a lasting first impression that features lower, wider and longer exterior dimensions, while retaining Versa's roomy interior space.

Under Nissan's design language, Versa adapts key elements -- such as the V-motion grille, boomerang-shaped headlamps and tail lamps, kick-up C-pillars and floating roof. The result is an entry-level car that the designers describe as an energetic, provocative and engaging modern small sedan.

The 2021 Versa's interior also represents a reimagining of the previous generation design with signature elements found in Maxima and Altima, including the "Gliding Wing" instrument panel that expands the feel of the space through use of a light and sleek wingspan. Versa features a roomy 5-passenger interior with a comfortable rear seat with ample rear legroom and knee room.

Standard on Versa is an advanced 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 122 horsepower and a 114 lb-ft of torque. The Versa S is available with a choice of a 5-speed manual transmission or an Xtronic transmission, which is standard on Versa SV and SR grades.
