The most significant change will be the redesigned front fascia. The Nissan V-Motion grille is larger, with chrome accents extending underneath the headlights. The chrome accent that used to distinguish the badge from the rest of the car's front end has been removed. Nissan also made some changes to the lower bumper and added its new, less noticeable brand badges to the exterior.
The Versa will be available in three trims when it goes on sale: S, SV, and SR. The S doesn't have any direct upgrades for 2023, but you will be able to get a new S Plus package from Nissan. This car now has the ability to connect with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as 60/40 split-folding rear seats and 16-inch alloy wheels. The Standard Versa S comes with a 7.0-inch touchscreen display, three USB ports, and remote keyless entry.
A center console with an armrest, a wireless phone charging pad, and a new Chambray interior color is available on the mid-level SV trim for the first time. Nissan adds an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Intelligent Cruise Control, automatic climate control, and connectivity features to the SR. The SV and SR models will now be offered in a new Gray Sky Pearl paint, while the SR model receives a newly designed 17-inch wheel.
The Versa line will still include a set of safety features, such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, high beam assist, rear automatic braking, and lane departure warning. Available safety features include rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot warning.
The Versa utilized Nissan's 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, which goes unchanged for 2023 and continues to make 122 horsepower (90 kilowatts) and 114 pound-feet (154 Newton-meters) of torque. A five-speed manual gearbox is standard on the entry-level S trim. Nissan's Xtronic continuously variable transmission is optional on the S but standard on the SV and SR.
Nissan plans to release the price of their new car this fall, close to the date it goes on sale. The price of the 2022 Versa S starts at $20,085, which includes the destination charge of $1,095. With the rising cost of everything, we expect the price of the Versa to increase gradually.
