About the 2019 Nissan Versa

Versa sedan: 2nd generation (2012-2019), final year. Versa Note hatchback: E12 U.S. generation (2014-2019), final year.

Nissan sells the 2019 Versa family as straightforward small-car transportation with more usefulness than its size suggests. The sedan leans on efficiency, a roomy cabin, and a large trunk, while the Versa Note hatchback adds flexible cargo space and easy city maneuverability. Across both, the brand message centers on low running costs, simple infotainment, and practical everyday use rather than performance or luxury.

The 2019 Versa range covers two practical small cars: the straightforward Versa sedan and the more cargo-friendly Versa Note hatchback. The S Plus sedan adds an automatic transmission and cruise control, while the Note SR focuses on sporty looks, push-button start, and smartphone integration rather than extra power. SV models add everyday conveniences such as keyless entry, power windows and a split-folding rear seat.

“[Name] compra por la relación calidad - precio, la marca respalda al vehículo, definitivamente es una opción a considerar.”

MCMauricio C.
2019 Nissan Versa S Plus Sedan

“The Nissan Versa is a versatile model that can reliably get you from A to B and is not crazy expensive to fill up at the pump. This is a good vehicle for people who need reliability and fuel economy without sacrificing much of the horsepower. It's not sporty by any means, but still uses a 4cyl engine and can go highway speeds safely.”

MCMichael C.
2019 Nissan Versa S Plus Sedan

“I had the vehicle for maybe a solid six months. I ended up getting into a decent wreck that just totalled the front end. Super safe and honestly good quality for the price car.”
