2023 Nissan Versa

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The 2023 Nissan Versa has been honored by being named to the Car and Driver 2023 Editors' Choice list. The list of cars, trucks, crossovers and SUVs represents the vehicles that the publication's editors most recommend to shoppers, selected from more than 400 models across 39 eligible market segments. The editors praised Versa's combination of value and style, noting that the sedan offers an impressive level of available features at an accessible price.

The Nissan Versa was named to the "Subcompact car" category of the 2023 Editors' Choice list. Winning vehicles are selected by Car and Driver editors based on subjective evaluations of vehicle performance, instrumented testing, how well each vehicle fulfills its intended mission, and the ranking a vehicle earns in its segment versus its competition.

The 2023 Nissan Versa boasts the most standard safety features in its class1, an expressive design and fuel economy of up to 40 mpg highway2. Versa has a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)3 of $15,730.

For the 2023 model year, Versa builds on its already impressive customer value with refreshed exterior styling and the addition of new available features including a class-exclusive wireless smartphone charging pad4, a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot and an 8-inch touchscreen. A new S Plus package enhances the most affordable Versa grade with the addition of Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, 16-inch alloy wheels and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat.
