The 2022 Nissan Versa is yet to release but it is expected to go on sale this fall. Prices for the 2022 Versa have not been announced yet but one thing is for sure, there are no notable changes this year. It still houses the 1.6L inline-4 engine that produces 122 hp and 144 lb-ft. of torque. Obviously, these outputs are less but they help to gain better fuel economy.

The Versa's cabin is a fusion of quality and functionality. Although hard plastics dominate most of the cabin, the layout is sleek. The sedan also equips all the vital technologies for safety, which is really impressive. Though one fussy thing is the lack of standard smartphone integration in the infotainment system. The Versa competes against the Hyundai Accent, the Kia Rio, and the Mitsubishi Mirage G4.

Expert Review, Pricing Analysis and Buying Guide

Nothing about the Versa is joyful or exuberant, but there's still plenty to like about this affordable car- Cnet

The Nissan Versa is one of the best subcompact sedans on offer in the market as it is an extremely affordable car and is also a solid value for your money. While the car does not focus on being athletic, it focuses on being very economical and practical. The Versa is also the only car in its class to offer a wide range of safety technologies, thus setting itself apart from the rest of its rivals.

There are some shortcomings in this sedan such as limited rear headroom and no standard smartphone integration. But that's forgivable considering for the price it is available. The Versa also scored 81 in its reliability test by J.D. Power but its resale value is average in the market. Speaking of running costs, get ready to shell out nearly $5,600 annually for its maintenance, fuel, etc.

Buying Advice

We recommend going for the SV trim. It is a capable daily driver with many more comfort and convenience options than the base model. These features include upgraded cloth upholstery, 16-inch alloy wheels, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and satellite radio. It also adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear-seat reminder, and driver attention monitor as part of the safety feature upgrade.

Features

Adding the CVT also brings an upgraded driver information display and 60/40 split/folding rear seats- Autotrader

The Nissan Versa is offered in three trim levels- S, SV, SR. About the release date and pricing, nothing has been made official by Nissan yet, but we expect it to be released around the fall of 2021 while prices may bump slightly. Only the S trim is offered with a manual transmission while the other two trims come standard with a CVT transmission.

The Versa doesn't come with many standard features and likewise, there aren't many packages on offer to elevate the feature list. The only optional package available is the Convenience package that adds heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, and automatic climate control for $400. This package is exclusively available for the SR trim only.

Engine and Performance

8.0/10

The powertrain doesn’t have a huge surplus of power and torque, but it’s perfectly adequate for a 2,700-pound car- Forbes

A 1.6L inline-4 sits at the heart of the Japanese sedan and churns out 122 hp and 114 lb-ft. of torque, both of which are very timid figures. That's because Nissan has focused more on the economy rather than power. The engine is married to a five-speed manual transmission as standard, but you can upgrade to a CVT. This CVT is not as bad as some people might think. Power is transferred to the front wheels.

Handling is okay-ish for a car at this price range. The steering is light and not very precise, but when you go around the corners, the body roll is kept to a minimum. Where the Versa does well is the ride quality, it offers the most comfortable ride for its passengers. Considering the ride quality, we can forgive the Versa for the areas where it lacks, especially due to the fact that it does not cost a lot.

2022 nissan versa sprints from 0-60 mph in 9.8 sec — 2022 Nissan Versa front driving view

The engine does not rev very high and does not offer a thrilling experience on the highway. It takes a painfully long 9.8 seconds to get to 60 MPH from a standstill while the quarter-mile drag is completed in 17.4 seconds. Braking is not very confident, but putting the pedal to the metal offers a slight rush, which tapers off immediately. A braking distance of 124 feet is achieved when trying to stop from 60 MPH.

The Versa and the Korean siblings are all quite evenly matched in terms of power output, but the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 falls behind the pack by a lot. It cannot even offer 80 horses, despite being priced more, which is a big disappointment. It is important to note that the Accent offers a manual transmission as an option whereas the Rio does not come with one.

Fuel Economy

5.0/10

The Versa’s thrifty with the CVT- The Car Connection

This is a part where the Nissan Versa absolutely shines. It offers the best fuel economy when matched with a CVT transmission. The EPA-estimated ratings are 32 MPG in the city, 40 MPG on a highway, and 35 MPG combined. Opting for the manual transmission will get you 5 MPG less. Therefore, it's best to get the CVT since you do save a ton on fuel prices.

2022 nissan versa mpg figures — 2022 Nissan Versa rear angle view

With a tank size of 10.8 gallons, the Versa delivers a combined range of 378 miles with a CVT transmission, which is an extremely appreciable figure for a small affordable sedan. Manual models can drive up to 324 miles, which is still good enough. Therefore, those who travel a lot should prefer the CVT over the manual transmission.

2021MY data used for reference

The Korean sedans offer slightly better fuel economy and owing to their larger tanks, offer more range than the Versa. The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 also offers excellent fuel economy but considering the power it makes, it is not efficient. Overall, the Versa is a great choice for fuel-saving car buyers.

Interior

5.0/10

The Versa's interior no longer looks and feels like a children's play area- CarAndDriver

The Nissan Versa's interior feels surprisingly comfortable at this price point. The design of the dashboard is also very exciting, modern, and functional. Higher trims have faux-leather trim stitched on the dashboard, which feels quite premium. However, the materials are not too high-quality, with hard plastic here and there. Cloth upholstery is standard but premium cloth upholstery with contrast stitching is available.

The seats offer decent levels of comfort and support. Power adjustable front seats are not available but heated front seats are available as an option. But, you do get a leather steering wheel The front row is very spacious with tons of legroom to spare. However, the same cannot be said for the rear row, as it is quite cramped. Tall adults would not find it comfortable to be in for a long time.

2022 nissan versa infotainment system — 2022 Nissan Versa infotainment system

For entertainment, all the trims come with a 7-inch touchscreen display paired to a 6-speaker setup. However, only two top trims are greeted with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system is decent with a typical low-resolution screen at this price range. All the physical controls are close to the driver, which is a good thing. Higher trims get a 7-inch driver-assist display that shows various vehicle-related information.

Cargo Capacity (cu-ft.)	14.7	13.7	13.7	12.4

*2021MY data used for reference

The Versa comes with a pretty big 14.7-15 cubic feet of cargo storage behind the second row. It can easily fit your groceries or your luggage for a weekend trip. With the rear 60/40-split seats down, you get access to even more space, which makes it very easy to load even more stuff, albeit sacrificing two seats. Some of the interior highlights are:

Tilt & telescopic multi-function leather steering wheel
Manually-adjustable front seats
Automatic climate control
Cloth upholstery
Proximity keyless entry
Remote engine start
7-inch touchscreen w/ Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
6-speaker stereo

9.0/10

The top SR trim has extra visual interest with a black chrome grille, 17-inch alloy wheels and a small rear spoiler- Kelly Blue Book

The 2022 Nissan Versa will not undergo any exterior design changes as it was last redesigned in 2020. Being a subcompact sedan, it doesn’t have a striking or a strong road presence. Although it does appear bold and charming with the front fascia having sharp and angular headlights. The grille has the classic V-shape with the flat bottom that other Nissan cars have. The base wheels are 15 inches but the other two trims get 16 and 17-inch alloy wheels.

The Versa has a ground clearance of 6.8 inches, which is quite good for a subcompact sedan. The side has muscular body lines flowing through it and the windows are also shaped quite stylishly. The rear taillights are also sharp and curved. The end of the taillights also looks like a pointy arrowhead. Overall, it has a very good and astute design. Nissan has done a very good job of making sure that the Versa does not look boring anymore.

The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 has the shortest wheelbase in this segment but it flaunts more rear-seat space than the other competitors. The Korean siblings have low ground clearance which is good for easy entry and exit from the cars. Some exterior features of the Versa are:

15, 16 & 17-inch alloy wheels
LED auto high-beam headlights
LED DRLs
Fog lamps
LED Taillights
Heated exterior mirrors
Black grille with chrome surround
Chrome headlamp bezels

Safety

6.0/10

The Nissan sedan comes with a lot of standard driver-assistance technology- CarAndDriver

Neither NHTSA nor IIHS has evaluated the 2022 Nissan Versa for its safety as the vehicle is yet to be released. The previous year's model's ratings are taken into consideration as there are no structural changes. The Versa gathered a 5-star rating from NHTSA. IIHS has not tested it fully but it gave 'Good' ratings in the two crash tests it conducted.

2022 nissan versa safety ratings — 2022 Nissan Versa NHTSA crash test

We expect the same safety scores for the 2022 model as well. Nissan surprises us by offering tons of standard active safety features at this price point which we would not have expected from a budget car. The SV trims and above come with Nissan's Safety Shield 360 which is really impressive. Some of the active driver-assist features are:

Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
Lane departure warning
Blind-spot warning
Rearview camera
Forward collision warning
Rear cross-traffic alert
Driver attention monitor
Adaptive cruise control
Auto high-beam assist
Reverse automatic braking

2022 Nissan Versa vs 2022 Kia Rio

The Versa, right off the bat, is slightly better than the Kia Rio when it comes to performance in the real world. It also offers the option of a manual transmission Both Rio and Versa offer excellent fuel economy, but the Rio comes with a better driving range. The quality of the interior is better in the Rio and it also offers better rear-seat space, but the Versa offers more cargo space. Safety-wise, the Versa is a better option.

2022 Nissan Versa vs 2022 Hyundai Accent

The Rio and Hyundai Accent basically share the same characteristics and all the same dimensions. The only difference is that the Accent looks different on the outside than the Rio. The fuel economy is better than the Versa, and so is the performance. However, the Versa is more well-equipped with better safety features. So, if you have decided on which one you like more – the Rio or the Versa, this choice should be pretty easy too.

2022 Nissan Versa vs 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage G4

Let’s be honest, the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is not a very good car. It is seriously underpowered for the price it asks, and cannot keep up with the rivals. Fuel economy is a major benefit since it can outrun the Versa. It falls short on cargo space but the interior space is better. The interior quality does not match that of the Versa. It also does not come with half the features that the Versa offers. On top of all that, the Versa looks better.

Final Verdict

The 2022 Nissan Versa will be the same as the 2021 model, which itself was a pretty good offering. It went from being neglected to being one of the best cars in the entry-level market. It has a decent engine for the price, good handling, ample interior spacing, and great fuel economy. There’s no reason for you to ignore the Versa, especially given the long list of safety features it comes with. Overall, the Versa is a very good choice for anyone buying their first car.
