2020 Nissan Versa no longer a sub-$14,000 car
As someone who owns a Nissan Versa Note (it's the wife's commuter car), I'm somewhat sad to see it go. The Versa Note will not be getting a replacement in the US. But, the replacement for the sedan is welcome, and to my eye, looks much more premium than what it replaces. The 2019 and earlier Versa sedan and hatch leave a lot to be desired when it comes to their interior spaces, even if their space efficiency is quite impressive. However, I'd gladly trade a little on that in exchange for better comfort and amenities, which it seems the new car has.

Nissan says it doesn't care if the all-new 2020 Versa is the cheapest new car in America, because the company really just wants its smallest sedan to be the best value in America. Starting at $15,625, the redesigned Versa is in the running for that title with its smorgasbord of desirable and class-exclusive features.
While the Versa's base price still undercuts primary rivals such as the 2020 Hyundai Accent ($16,125) and the 2020 Toyota Yaris sedan ($16,645), the new Nissan costs at least $2270 more than the 2019 model it replaces. Those who want a Versa with the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) will have to cough up another $1670 on the base model or spend even more for the higher SV and SR trim levels.
The SV model was previously the fanciest and best-selling Versa, but it becomes the middle child for 2020, with a starting price of $18,535. The only factory-installed option is a $395 premium paint color. Along with a standard CVT, every SV includes upgraded content such as larger 16-inch wheels and snazzier interior fabric, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also has standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert—all of which aren't available on the base S model.
The newly added SR moniker is now the top-of-the-line Versa, and pricing begins at $19,135. It boasts all the same goodies that are found on the SV model along with even more standard features, including 17-inch wheels, automatic climate control, and passive entry. It also offers the $300 Convenience package, which adds heated front seats and adaptive cruise control.
The 2020 Nissan Versa is now on sale in dealerships nationwide.

Actually, for some time, the cheapest Versa sedan (which started at $11,990) undercut even the Rio.....it was the cheapest new car available in the American market. That version sold quite poorly, though......few, if any persons wanted it, even at the low price, because sitting in it and driving it, by modern-car standards, were akin to masochism. I could think of few worse new-car-driving experiences...except for maybe the gas-powered Smart-for Two. Even the base Mitsubishi Mirage was better in some ways.
