Few vehicles offer the level of fuel efficiency, affordability, and reliability than the Nissan Versa. For almost two decades, this subcompact sedan has been providing dependable transportation for city commuters across the world. Let’s dive into some reasons why you should consider purchasing a 2025 Nissan Versa.
Why We Love the 2025 Nissan Versa
1. Proven Engine with Transmission Options
The Nissan Versa uses a 1.6L DOHC 16-valve inline-four engine that delivers 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque, which is the perfect amount of power to cruise around the city or down the highway. The base S trim comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, but has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as an available option. The other two trims (SV and SR) come exclusively with the CVT.
2. Outstanding Fuel Economy
The Versa is known for its strong fuel economy that helps drivers stretch every dollar they spend on gas. The EPA estimates that 2025 models with the CVT transmission deliver 32 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. With the 5-speed manual, the Versa achieves an estimated 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.
3. Comfortable & Spacious Interior
The Versa may be a subcompact sedan, but it’s not short on space. Front-row passengers can stretch out with 44.5 inches of legroom, and total passenger volume is 90 cubic feet. The front seats are designed with Zero Gravity seat technology that is designed to improve long-distance comfort. SR trims feature premium cloth upholstery and stitched dashboard accents.
The trunk has one of the highest cargo capacities in its class, with 15 cubic feet of cargo volume. The 60/40-split folding rear seats, which are standard on SV and SR trims, allow for extended cargo capability.
4. Modern Infotainment System
The base S trim has a 7-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth capabilities and a 4-speaker stereo, while the other two models feature an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These two higher trims also have an available Wi-Fi hotspot, a 6-speaker stereo, and are compatible with NissanConnect remote services.
All models come with USB-C and USB-A ports, while SV and SR models have rear USB charging ports. The ST trim also includes a wireless charging pad.
5. High-Tech Safety
Every Versa comes with Nissan’s Safety Shield 360. This intelligent suite of driver-assistance features includes:
- Blind Spot Warning
- Rear Automatic Braking
- Lane Departure Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- High Beam Assist
6. LED Lights
For 2025, all Versa models come with LED headlights. These long-lasting bulbs contribute to even greater fuel economy and improve nighttime visibility.
The 2025 Versa remains a top-notch choice for drivers who prioritize reliability, fuel economy, safety technology, and practicality. Come down to Alan Webb Nissan in Vancouver, WA to give the Versa a test drive.
