The 2021 Nissan Versa is a subcompact sedan that seats five passengers. It competes with the Toyota Yaris, Kia Rio, and Mazda 3.
Three trims are available: S, SV, and SR.
Under the hood, the Versa is powered by a standard 122-hp, 1.6-liter four-cylinder mated to a five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. A more efficient, continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is also available. Fuel economy for the Versa with the CVT is an EPA-estimated rating of 32/40 mpg city/highway. It lowers to a 27/35 mpg rating for the manual transmission Versa.
