Nissan’s Versa is one of the best values in the subcompact sedan segment. With advanced technology, incredible fuel economy, and an unprecedented list of safety features, this package is the one to beat! Read on to learn more about the brilliant 2021 Nissan Versa!

Performance

The Versa is a lightweight sedan powered by a 1.6L inline-four engine that offers up 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. Paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or the Xtronic continuously variable transmission, acceleration feels brisk. The Xtronic continuously variable transmission features D-Step Logic Control technology, which makes shifting feel extra smooth.

Front suspension is fully independent, and the rear suspension’s torsion beams add extra stiffness, which helps the Versa feel planted around corners. Steering is direct and well-weighted to make direction changes quick and intuitive. The car is also one of the best performers in its class when it comes to efficiency, with the EPA estimating up to 40 MPG highway.

Interior

The Versa’s interior cabin feels much more expensive than its bargain pricing suggests. High-quality soft-touch materials are present on many surfaces and beautiful touches like carbon fiber-style door trim and available chrome door handles help the cabin feel extra inviting. Available equipment like heated front seats and automatic temperature control add comfort when the weather gets unpleasant.

With a passenger volume of nearly 89 cubic feet, there’s roomy seating for up to five passengers. The doors and center console also offer multiple spots to stow your water bottles and devices. 60/40-split folding seats let you fit extra-long items and the trunk provides nearly 15 cubic feet of cargo capacity.

Technology

Every Versa features a Bluetooth hands-free phone system, hands-free text messaging assistant, and multiple USB ports. SV and SR models come standard with the NissanConnect 7-inch infotainment touchscreen system. This system comes standard with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and access to SiriusXM radio.

Helping you to keep your focus on driving is the available Advanced Drive-Assist Display. This screen sits in the center of the instrument panel and makes it much easier for you to view incoming calls/texts, navigation instructions, service reminders, and other critical vehicle information. Steering wheel-mounted controls allow you to sift through different screens without taking your hands off the wheel.

Driver Assists and Safety

The Versa continues to outclass its competitors when it comes to its number of standard active safety systems. The Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite comes with technology like Automatic Emergency Braking with Passenger Detection and Rear Automatic Braking. Standard High Beam Assist is able to detect oncoming vehicles and momentarily shut off its high beams until it’s clear again.

Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert helps keep an eye out for other vehicles when you’re backing out of your parking space in a busy lot and the Blind Spot Warning makes lane changes safer than ever before.

Nissan has made the Versa into the ultimate commuter by giving it one of the most fuel-efficient powertrains of its kind, a versatile and comfortable interior, and tons of technology. Contact Cronic Nissan today to learn more about the 2021 model and schedule your test drive!
