Looking For A Quality New Car for Under $20,000? That’s The Nissan Versa!

August 17th, 2024 by

We have been dealing with sticker shock for years. We always want a bargain but with great long-term value over time. 

There is one vehicle that is built to the highest standards possible but with a price that is still affordable to many – under $20,000! That vehicle is the Nissan Versa sedan. 

Not only is it the smallest sedan in our lineup, but the Nissan Versa was designed and engineered to be a “class above.” Nissan made it clear not to build the Versa for just price. They added quality to everything that you see in this smaller sedan — quality you can feel and touch, with a higher level of technology and safety features.

For example, each Versa offers the Nissan Safety Shield 360 driver assistance system as standard. Features in this system include Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Automatic Braking, and High Beam Assist. Available safety technologies include Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Neither of these features are found standard on a vehicle at the Versa’s price point.

Also, the Versa offers the largest interior volume in its size class. Adults can actually sit comfortably in the back seat. There is also up to 15 cubic feet of trunk space available, with fold-down rear seatbacks for longer cargo.

For infotainment, you can integrate your smartphone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Our SR model features NissanConnect Services, along with a Wi-Fi Mobile Hotspot. All models offer Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and music file playback. 

Under the hood of the Nissan Versa is a 122-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. Depending on grade, you also have the choice of a five-speed manual gearbox or the Xtronic CVT transmission. This nimble driveline can yield an average of 40 MPG on the highway and 32 MPG in the city.

All of this is wrapped in a handsome package, starting at an MSRP of $16,680. You have a choice of three trim levels – S, SL, and SR – that fit your personality. In all, that is still a great price for a handsome sedan that gives you more than you expect. And, with college starting soon – the Nissan Versa is the perfect car to send your child for higher learning.
