Starting at
The 2023 Nissan Versa was designed to be a reliable vehicle for a commuter, new family, or student driver that needs something economical and functional. It was also designed with safety in mind, which is why it comes with the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite, a comprehensive package of safety and driver-assist tools that are standard on every trim.
Among the many features included is the Automatic Emergency Braking feature with Pedestrian Detection, which helps you stay safe by monitoring the road ahead for pedestrians and other objects in your way. It also monitors your speed to ensure you remain at a safe distance from other vehicles, letting you know when to slow down due to a change in traffic flow. When the system senses a flow change or an object in your path, you receive an alert to slow down or change course. If you cannot react in time, the system will apply automatic braking to stop or lessen a collision.
You can use your mirrors to the best of your ability, but you may still miss an object behind you as you reverse. With Rear Automatic Braking, the Versa applies the brakes to stop you from colliding with an object in your path. Rear Cross Traffic Alert will alert you to traffic that may pop up in your vicinity as you attempt to reverse. Regardless of your experience using your mirrors, there are blind spots in every vehicle. With the Blind Spot Warning system, you gain extra support through alerts that let you know when something is on either side of your vehicle, helping you navigate easily when switching lanes.
Speaking of switching lanes, the Lane Departure Warning feature will send an alert to correct your course if you accidentally sway too far toward another lane. This is particularly helpful for new drivers who are getting the hang of staying in the middle of the lane. When you’re out at night, navigating safely and searching for your high beam switch can be difficult. High Beam Assist will help you by scanning the area for light, applying the high beams when needed, and turning them off when another vehicle approaches. As you can see, Nissan has put a lot of thought into ensuring the Versa is looking out for you on the road, making it a perfect choice for commuters looking for a safe compact sedan packed with lots of driver-assistance tools. Other safety features, like Intelligent Cruise Control, are also available, depending on the Versa trim you choose.
Nissan has always been ahead of the game regarding technology, and the features you’ll find in the 2023 Nissan Versa prove why they’re leaders in the industry. With a seamless connection to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and an available 8-inch touchscreen display that is colorful and intuitively designed, you’ll have all the connectivity you need at your fingertips. Once you’ve synced a compatible phone with the Versa system, you can start customizing your experience right away with the ability to listen to your favorite playlists, check emails before leaving home, and more. You’ll also enjoy the convenience of available wireless charging and USB charging ports for you and your passengers.
In addition to these perks, you gain a personal assistant when your Nissan Versa is equipped with NissanConnect Services. This powerhouse of technology lets you talk with your Versa using Amazon Alexa or Action on Google. Depending on your subscription service and trim, you can notify the authorities if you’re in an accident, remotely lock or unlock your car, set a speed limit maximum if you’re the parent of a new driver, and more.
Taking technology to the next level, you can add a Dual Camera Drive Recorder, which records the view in front of your Versa and captures what goes on in the interior. This is handy if an accident occurs or you have a side hustle requiring you to pick up passengers. The device is motion activated and can save audio and visual recordings for insurance purposes. Other optional upgrades you might consider are an Electronics Package, Intelligent Key with Push Button Starting, and a USB Charging Cable set. You’ll also enjoy standard features like hands-free text messaging with compatible phones, Bluetooth, and steering wheel-mounted audio Controls to assist you while driving.
Part of the fun of driving the 2023 Nissan Versa is that it feels good from the moment you slide into the driver's seat. Whether you opt for the base model S version or the top-tiered SR, you will enjoy comfort and convenience no matter where you sit. Across the board, you will get a 6-way Manual Adjustable Driver's Seat with a 4-way Manual Adjustable Front Passenger Seat, allowing you to customize your seating to fit your needs. Depending on the trim, you'll also find premium cushioning in your seating options, ranging from standard cloth to Sport cloth.
Other comfort features include heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel for the SR, and 60/40 split fold-down rear seatbacks for the SV and SR, giving you easy access to your cargo space. For overall space, you'll enjoy 39.5 inches of headroom and 44.5 inches of legroom in the front row, while second-row passengers will be comfortable with 31 inches of legroom and 36.3 inches of headroom. For cargo space, you get just enough with up to 15 cu.ft. Each 2023 Nissan Versa has a capacity of five passengers.
According to Consumer Reports and customer reviews, the 2023 Nissan Versa is a comfortable ride with good visibility and even acceleration. It's the perfect vehicle for running errands as it's easy to climb in and out of and gives you extra space in the back end to haul your goods. It also has a few unique features that increase its comfort level by softening the dash with a padded and stitched detail that mimics what is found on the armrests and gear selector. This attention to detail gives the Versa a style often not seen in smaller cars.
