For the last years, the Nissan Versa has reigned as the top-selling subcompact vehicle in these fine United States of America. If that isn’t cause to celebrate the return of the 2016 model to our Phoenix-area lineup, well, we don’t know what is. So, ladies and germs, allow us to be the first to pull the tarp off of our latest addition to the lineup, the 2016 Nissan Versa!

The Powertrain
The story of the Versa has long been that it provides ample power and pep for city or country, and that its fuel economy numbers are simply off the charts. Well, for the new model year, the Versa sedan sticks to the script. The 2016 Nissan Versa employs a 1.6L inline four-cylinder engine that returns an agile 109 hp and 107 lb-ft of torque. Of course, it’s the fuel economy that really gets people talking, so listen up: the Versa employs a next-generation Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission to generate an astonishing 40 highway mpg.
The Interior
If there’s one thing that the Versa has come to represent to the masses, it’s that “compact” and “cramped” aren’t the same thing. The Versa allows more headroom than any competing vehicle, seating for five adults, and a 60/40-split folding rear seat that opens up to the 14.9 cubic-foot trunk. It really isn’t any wonder that this continues to rank among the most welcoming and satisfying models in a highly competitive class.
The Tech
You might look at the price tag on the 2016 Nissan Versa — starting under $12,000 — and assume that it goes short on technology. However, this is thankfully not the case. It now features a standard Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System, making placing and receiving calls easier than ever. Additionally, there are a number of add-ons that sweeten the deal even further, including a USB connection port, NissanConnect Apps interface, and a RearView Monitor.

The Safety
A look at the safety features in the 2016 Nissan Versa, headlined by the “protect, monitor, respond” mandate of the Safety Shield suite, prove that it isn’t just talk. Additionally, features such as the Antilock Brakes, Advanced Airbag System and Traction Control all come standard, so you don’t have to worry about higher payments to get them.
