2020 Nissan Versa S

The Versa is Nissan's entry-level sedan, the smallest and most affordable car in the lineup. It's easy to drive and park, with light steering and a small footprint that makes city driving a breeze. The cabin is roomier than the exterior suggests, with a surprisingly large trunk and decent backseat space for the class. The entry price and a generous list of standard safety tech set the S apart from the SV above it, though you give up alloy wheels and a few interior niceties. Its 1.6L I4 makes 122 horsepower and pairs with a CVT that keeps the engine humming at low rpm, helping it earn 35 mpg combined. The S rides on 15-inch steel wheels with covers, which keeps weight down and makes for a supple ride over broken pavement.
