2023 Nissan Versa SR | Affordable & Tech packed?! [ POV & Review ] 

Great review. Love this 2023 Versa SR in this color and this trim wow it is sharp. That Gray Sky Pearl Paint is absolutely gorgeous! It is truly loaded in top SR trim and for the price I would think this would be extremely popular given the price of new cars today as you said is over double this top trim Versa SR. I mean you can get a new car loaded for under $22,000.00 after destination you can beat it and the best value in my opinion is the SR. If you are looking at the Versa SV definitely pay the extra $700.00 and move up to the Versa SR as you gain heated seats, remote start, led headlights, larger touch screen, adaptive cruise control, automatic climate control, led side mirror turn signals that are heated, rear spoiler, leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter, sportier interior bits, larger alloy wheels, Nissan Connect Telematics Services, and so on. All that extra stuff for $700.00 more to go from the the Versa SV to the Versa SR. Wow! Also if you look at the the base Versa S with CVT and the added package that is $1,190.00 which alot for sale online have it pushes it only like $400.00 away from the Versa SV but you loose so many features if you chose that. The only way the Base Versa is a good deal in my opinion is if you choose the Base Versa S with 5 speed. Other wise if you are choosing or needed and automatic go with the SR its by far the best deal for the money and loaded. You can check out Nissans website and build you own in different trims and see how if you are looking at an S trim with CVT and its optional $1,190.00 package or an SV trim you are far better off to go for the SR trim. The SR trim has an unbeatable value and in my option is the best value in the subcompact and compact car class. I would take a loaded 2023 Versa SR over like a Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Toyota Corolla, VW Jetta, Honda Civic, or even Nissans own Sentra. You are going to get way more features in a Versa SR top trim then one of those Compact cars base lower trims for the same cost. Sure those other cars may be a tad bigger but if you move up the trims to get a comparable equipped model to the Versa SR and go with one of those Compact cars top trim versions you will easily pay $4,000.00 to $6,000.00 more ($26,000.00 to $28,000.00 for a loaded top trim Compact). I really hope the updated 2023 Versa SR helps Nissan boost sales and helps people needing a new car they can afford get in to one.

It's a bit gutless but tbh for the price of it... The car is loaded, all things considered. Really impressive and I love the interior.

Good luck finding one. I think they made 3 for North America.

Great review. Is this Versa so underpowered ? I have an automatic 6 speed 2012 Rio that makes 138 HP and it's no slouch but it's not getting younger. Would I see a big difference in aceleration. This old Rio havs no problem merging on highways but it's far from low on gas.

I do a lot more highway driving, what are you thoughts on this vehicle regarding that?

As a college student who is about to take the driving test and soon after looking for a first car, would this car be a safer and affordable option for a budget newbie driver?

5:38 46 PSI in the tires??? 😬 so that’s why Nissan drivers always have bald tires 😅

When Nissan brings back MT I'll look into this. Otherwise no, thanks. I wouldn't trust their CVT drivetrain if they paid me.

Too little horsepower and still don't have the best gas mileage

Put it in sport mode next time because it will simulate shifts wheh you punch it next time. There is a secret button on the shifter to put it in sport mode.
