In an article by Kelley Blue Book, the new Versa Sedan was named "the least expensive new car available in the United States". But what qualifications must a vehicle meet to reach this status and still perform? Besides being cost-efficient, it also needs to deliver on a myriad of features like mileage, storage, and performance— which is not an easy task for most. Luckily for you, this Nissan leaps over all the usual hurdles with class-leading mastery.
Framed by a 1.6-L 4 cylinder engine capable of 109 HP, the Versa has a modest but functional amount of power that’s perfect for any urban commute. In conjunction with its 2,404-pound frame, the calmly beating heart of this vehicle is capable of an astounding combined 34 mpg. And with a curb-to-curb turning diameter of 35 feet, expect to slip through congested city streets with very little resistance.
Never judge a book by its cover; the 2018 Nissan Versa Sedan’s 102-inch wheelbase allows for a remarkably spacious 37 inches of rear seat legroom. And with 15 cubic feet of trunk volume, finally going on that trip to the Cascade Range in a compact will be —believe it or not— a legitimate possibility!
