TOP 4 REASONS TO OWN THE 2019 VERSA

The 2019 Nissan Versa is a refined compact sedan with a surprisingly spacious interior and cargo capacity. The aerodynamic styling and fuel-efficient engine give you economical motoring at an affordable price. It’s offered in S, S Plus, SV, and SV Special Edition trims. Here are four features of the Versa that make it a tempting choice.

1. POWER AND FUEL EFFICIENCY

At the heart of the Versa is a 1.6-liter engine that delivers 109 horsepower and 107 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels. In the S trim, it’s mated to a slick-shifting five-speed manual transmission, while other models feature a smooth continuously variable transmission.

The engine’s output is adjusted by the variable valve timing to provide acceleration when you need it for a lively and fun drive while also giving you superb fuel economy of up to 39 mpg on the highway.

2. EXTERIOR STYLING

The Versa features a bold chrome-accented grille, distinctive chrome-accented headlights, a sleek aerodynamic profile with body-color power side mirrors and 15-inch steel wheels with stylish covers. From the rear, the wrap-around taillights accentuate the flowing lines.

S Plus models add a rear spoiler with an integrated LED brake light, while the SV trim offers remote keyless entry and chrome door handles. Stepping up to the SV Special Edition gets you fog lights and sporty six-spoke alloy wheels.

3. INTERIOR FEATURES

Inside the Versa, you’ll find a modern and elegant cabin with seating for five people and that offers more space than other vehicles in its class. The cavernous trunk has 14.9 cubic feet of cargo space and the 60/40 split folding rear seats provide the versatility to carry awkward objects.

The S trim features cloth upholstery with a four-way adjustable driver’s seat, a silver accented multifunction steering wheel, air conditioning, a tilting steering column, and a 12-volt power outlet. The infotainment system has a 7-inch touch screen with an integrated backup camera, Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio streaming, USB and auxiliary inputs, and a four-speaker audio system.

The S Plus trim adds cruise control, while the SV offers upgraded cloth seating with a six-way adjustable driver’s seat, cloth door trim, silver accents, power windows, chrome door handles, and a remote trunk release. The top-of-the-range SV Special Edition features piano black trim, push-button ignition, a leather-bound steering wheel, Nissan Connect touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and satellite radio.

4. SAFETY FEATURES

Standard safety features in the Versa include front, side, and overhead airbags with rollover sensors, the LATCH system for child seats, and side impact beams. In the event of an impact, energy is absorbed by front and rear crumple zones, hood buckling creases, and an energy absorbing steering column.

Handling is aided by the vehicle’s dynamic control and the traction control system, while sure stopping is provided by the four-wheel ABS with brake assist and electronic brake force distribution. Also standard is tire pressure monitoring, while the SV Special Edition adds an easy-fill tire alert.
