The 2025 Nissan Versa® is engineered as a compact sedan with a focus on efficiency, mechanical simplicity, and integrated driver assistance systems. It uses a front engine and front wheel drive configuration with a unibody structure constructed primarily from corrosion-resistant steel. The design supports structural rigidity while maintaining a manageable curb weight range between 2,599 and 2,717 pounds, depending on trim and transmission. Exterior dimensions include a wheelbase of 103.1 inches, overall length of 177.0 inches, width of 68.5 inches, and height up to 57.7 inches. These proportions allow for stable handling while maintaining compact maneuverability.

The 2025 Nissan Versa® is equipped with a 1.6-liter HR16DE inline four-cylinder engine mounted transversely. The engine uses a dual overhead camshaft configuration with four valves per cylinder, allowing for efficient airflow and combustion. Output is rated at 122 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 114 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. The bore and stroke measure 78.0 mm x 83.6 mm, and the compression ratio is set at 10.4:1.
The engine operates with a naturally aspirated induction system and utilizes sequential multi-point fuel injection with dual injectors per cylinder. This system enables controlled fuel delivery and combustion consistency. The valvetrain integrates a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System for both intake and exhaust, which adjusts valve timing to maintain efficiency across a range of operating conditions. Maximum engine speed is rated at 6,500 rpm.
The aluminum block and aluminum head construction reduce engine weight and contribute to thermal efficiency. The ignition system is electronic with direct ignition, and the engine uses platinum-tipped spark plugs for extended service intervals. Fuel requirements are regular unleaded gasoline, and the emissions system includes an oxygen sensor with a catalyzer. The engine meets Tier 3-Bin30 and LEV3-SULEV30 emission standards.

The 2025 Nissan Versa® provides two transmission configurations. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the base trim, while the D-step Xtronic CVT is available or standard on higher trims. The manual transmission includes gear ratios of 3.727 for first gear, 2.047 for second, 1.392 for third, 1.029 for fourth, and 0.820 for fifth, with a reverse ratio of 3.545 and a final drive ratio of 4.214.
The Xtronic transmission operates with a ratio range from 4.006 to 0.550 and a reverse ratio of 3.771. The final drive ratio for the CVT configuration is 3.754. This setup supports smooth acceleration and maintains engine efficiency during steady driving conditions. The Front Wheel Drive layout enhances traction in typical driving environments and simplifies drivetrain complexity.

The 2025 Nissan Versa® uses an electric power-assisted steering system with an overall ratio of 16.8:1. The steering system provides 2.64 turns lock to lock and a turning diameter of 34.8 feet. This configuration supports controlled steering response and maneuverability in confined areas.
The front suspension consists of an independent strut design with twin-tube shock absorbers and a stabilizer bar measuring 21.0 mm in diameter. The rear suspension uses a torsion beam design with twin-tube shock absorbers. This combination is designed to maintain ride stability and reduce mechanical complexity.
Braking components include vented disc brakes at the front with a rotor diameter of 10.02 inches and a thickness of 0.87 inches. The rear braking system uses drum brakes with a diameter of 8.0 inches. The braking system integrates anti-lock braking, electronic brake force distribution, and brake assist to support controlled deceleration. A hand-operated parking brake is positioned in the center console.

The exterior structure includes a laminated windshield and body color front and rear bumpers. Wheel configurations vary by trim, including 15-inch steel wheels with covers, 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Tire sizes include 195/65R15, 205/55R16, and 205/50R17 all season configurations. A temporary spare tire is mounted in the trunk.
The vehicle includes a Tire Pressure Monitoring System with an Easy Fill Tire Alert function. Higher trims include individual tire pressure display capability. Lighting systems feature LED headlights with LED signature lamps for both low and high beams, along with automatic on and off functionality and a center high-mounted stop light.
Exterior mirrors vary by trim and include power-adjustable, heated, and integrated turn signal options. Door handles are available in resin black or body color finishes, depending on trim level. A trunk lid spoiler is included on the SR trim. The aerodynamic design contributes to a coefficient of drag as low as 0.29.

The interior is configured for five passengers with a focus on space utilization. Front row headroom measures 39.5 inches, and legroom measures 44.5 inches. Rear row headroom is 36.3 inches with legroom at 31.0 inches. Shoulder room measures 53.1 inches in the front and 53.6 inches in the rear. Hip room is 50.9 inches in the front and 50.1 inches in the rear.
Passenger volume is rated at 88.9 cubic feet. Cargo capacity is 14.7 cubic feet on base trim and up to 15.0 cubic feet on higher trims. Total interior volume reaches up to 103.9 cubic feet.
Seating materials include cloth, upgraded cloth, and sport fabric with trim-specific accents. The driver's seat provides six-way manual adjustment, while the front passenger seat includes four-way manual adjustment. Rear seating includes a fixed back configuration or a 60/40 split-folding design, depending on trim. Heated front seats are available on higher trims.
