2023 Nissan Versa Adds Tech and Convenience, Keeps Manual Transmission The updated Nissan Versa 2023 will make its debut in Miami on Saturday with a new face and a more user-friendly interior. A larger touch screen, wireless charging, and a new S Plus package for essentials put Versa in a better position to compete against its sub-competitors, but one major question remains: How much will that cost?

The Versa 2023 will be available in three models: S, SV and SR. Standard Base S features include fabric seats, 15-inch wheels, a four-speaker audio system, three USB ports, and keyless entry. The SV adds push-button start, a configurable 7-inch package, 16-inch alloy wheels, body-color door handles and mirrors, upgraded cloth seats, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats. The SR has sporty exterior and interior elements, plus black-painted mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 17-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, a six-speaker audio system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Following the lead of the big brother, exterior modifications for the 2023 Versa include an updated front end with a redesigned grille, new badges and a new wheel design for the top SR model. SV and SR also add a Gray Sky Pearl exterior paint to their list of options.

More substantial improvements were seen in Versa technology features and comfort. The base S is missing a wireless charging pad and a larger 8-inch touchscreen in the higher trims, but the available S Plus package adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 60/40-folding rear seat, and 16-inch alloy wheels (all previously reserved for higher decorations). In addition, a new center console with armrests is standard on SV and SR models.

For 2023, the Versa will again come as standard with the system. The driver assistance suite combines automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot warning, automatic reverse braking and automatic high beam assist. Blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert aren’t available on the S but return as standard features on the SV and SR. Previously optional on the SR, adaptive cruise control is now a standard feature on the upper.

The return of the familiar powertrain

Shoppers will find it hard to tell the 2022 and 2023 Versa under the hood. The sedan’s familiar powertrain returns with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 122 horsepower and can be paired to a manual or five-speed gearbox (available on the S model only). While the S is one of the few remaining vehicles offered with a, the upgrade to CVT offers a fuel-efficient advantage of 35 mpg combined; The Guide only gets 30 mpg combined.
