Which Versa is the Best?
While we admire the base model's low price, it's too Spartan for most tastes. We would go with the SV with the Special Edition package, which offers the features most of us have become accustomed to, such as power windows, keyless entry and power locks. Find a Nissan Versa for sale
How Much Does a 2018 Nissan Versa Cost?
The Versa is offered in three trim levels: S, S Plus and SV. Each trim uses the same 1.6-liter engine but offers different transmission choices and fuel economy figures.
The base S ($12,875) includes air conditioning, map lights, intermittent wipers, a tilt steering wheel, a 5-speed manual transmission, Bluetooth with steering-wheel touch controls, power mirrors, 15-in steel wheels with covers, a 4-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input, a tachometer and manual windows and door locks. A 4-speed automatic transmission adds $1,500 to the bottom line.
The S Plus ($15,880) adds a CVT automatic transmission, a rear spoiler and cruise control.
The SV ($16,605) adds upgraded seat cloth, a 6-way manual driver's seat, a driver's armrest, power windows and locks, remote trunk release with key-fob activation, keyless entry with illuminated entry, USB/iPod controls and a 60/40-split folding rear seat.
There's only one option package this year, that being the SV Special Edition package. For a mere $500, the Special Edition package adds 15-in alloy wheels, fog lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, chrome exterior accents, 5-in color display audio, streaming Bluetooth audio, SiriusXM satellite radio and a rearview monitor.
Inside, the Versa offers 90.2 cu ft. of passenger volume and a 14.9 cu-ft. trunk that, on the SV trim, can be expanded using the 60/40-split folding rear seat.
