Although car buyers have many options nowadays, few can rival the excellent value-for-money a small sedan can provide. A perfect example of this is the 2024 Nissan Versa. Its ample interior space makes it an excellent choice for road trips with family and friends, while its precise handling means it’s equally capable on narrower city roads. If you’re looking for a car that fits multiple purposes at an affordable price, you may have just found it.
Despite being one of the most affordable cars on the market with an MSRP of $15,830, the 2024 Nissan Versa for sale provides plenty of features at every trim level. All are powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that can produce up to 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. Although it may seem underpowered compared with other sedans, it does a surprisingly good job both in the city and on the highway. You can choose a continuously variable automatic transmission or, if you want total control of the car, there’s a manual transmission option available. The three trims are:
Despite the S being the basic trim, it’s very well-equipped. Some standard features include a folding 60/40-split rear seat, power windows, and a push-button ignition system. It also comes with multiple tech features, such as a 7-inch touch-screen interface that you can connect your smartphone to via Bluetooth or USB, plus a four-speaker sound system.
The SV trim includes all the features on the S trim and adds a few of its own. It comes with standard 16-inch alloy wheels, body-colored door handles and mirror caps, heated mirrors, and upgraded cloth upholstery. It also adds connectivity options, as users can now link their smartphones through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Another useful tech feature is a wireless charging pad.
The SR is the Nissan Versa’s top trim, and it adds more new features while building on some existing ones. Existing features that the brand has enhanced include the larger 17-inch wheels, an upgraded 8-inch touch-screen interface, and a clear-sounding six-speaker sound system. It also adds style features, such as a rear spoiler and dark-chrome grille with black-painted mirror caps, giving the Versa an aggressive yet elegant look. Heated front seats, a keyless entry system, and automatic climate control are added for enhanced comfort.
Regardless of whether you’re taking a five-minute drive or a five-hour trip, the Nissan Versa will give you and all your passengers the comfort you need. The seats are soft but supportive, while the climate control system maintains a constant temperature throughout the cabin. The interior is also well insulated and manages to eliminate most road, engine, and wind noises. The interior is easy to get into regardless of your size, thanks to its smart design and wide door openings. The high cabin makes it a surprisingly welcoming vehicle for tall drivers and passengers.
Infotainment options are a big part of a car’s comfort rating, and the Nissan Versa is also well-equipped in this department. Every trim features a touch-screen interface, and although there’s no stand-alone navigation system, drivers can use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to get directions via their smartphones. The vehicle’s three USB ports help everyone on board to keep their devices working, even on long drives.
While the Nissan Versa’s low price makes it very affordable for a new car, its fuel consumption means that it will keep on saving you money even after you buy it. The starting price is $15,830 for the standard S trim, and even the best-equipped Versa still comes in at well under $20,000.
With an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 32 mpg in city traffic and 40 mpg on the highway, the Versa is one of the most economical vehicles in its class. Its relatively low price and excellent fuel economy mean that few vehicles on the market can compete with it in terms of value for money.
Safety is and always will be a top priority for many drivers, regardless of the type of vehicle they drive. Nissan understood this when designing and manufacturing the Versa, with the result being a car that’s great at both avoiding accidents and minimizing their impact on anyone inside. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration rated the 2023 Nissan Versa a maximum of five stars in overall safety following crash and rollover tests, certifying its sturdiness.
However, modern cars also require driver aids that help you, the driver, notice and avoid any potential collision in due time. Some of the driver aids included with the Nissan Versa are:
