Nissan’s compact sedan enters 2020 as a third-generation offering, starting at $14,730 in the US for the entry-level Versa S with the 5-speed manual transmission. Topping out at $18,240 for the sportier SR 1.6 Xtronic rolling on 17-inch alloy wheels next to LED headlights and fog lights.

|---|---|
| Versa S 1.6 5MT | $14,730 |
| Versa S 1.6 Xtronic | $16,400 |

The new Versa is redesigned, gets a fresh interior, and ramps up performance to 122-hp (a 12% increase) and 114 lb-ft of torque from its next-generation 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine. Nissan focused on providing the 2020 Versa with more safety and monitoring features — something you don’t often find in these small 4-doors; this includes Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology with the optional Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of front, side, and rear safety monitoring and intervention technologies — standard on the top two trims, SV and SR.
Overall, compact sedans offer good value with cargo and fuel efficiency; expect the new Versa to get 32 mpg city, 40 mpg highway, 35 mpg combined for Xtronic models. If crossovers aren’t your thing, keep the underrated 4-door on the radar. US pricing for the 2020 Versa in four trims as follows:
