FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Nissan Versa that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The base Versa comes with probably the only five-speed manual transmission you'll ever see on a new-car test drive in 2024. But given how little power the engine makes and how light the car is, the stick-shift Versa's fuel economy is frankly disappointing.
The starting price for the Versa lineup is a bit sneaky, as you can see, because it assumes you want the five-speed manual transmission, which you probably don't. To get the CVT automatic, you'll pay significantly more up front. At least you'll make some of that back at the pump, as the CVT is quite a bit more fuel-efficient.
