2020 Nissan Versa: Better styling, performance and tech

A new Nissan Versa debuts for 2020 featuring sharper styling, improved performance and a healthy dose of technology features. 

Compared to its predecessor, the 2020 Versa is a bit longer, wider and lower. 

A lower stance is visually jazzed up with Nissan's V-Motion grille and floating roofline. 

This Versa SR wears some specific design elements, including black-painted mirrors and body color rear spoiler, and rides on 17-inch split-spoke wheels. 

The 2020 Nissan Versa is powered by a 1.6-liter I4 making 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission.

According to the EPA, the Versa returns an estimated 32 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. 

Inside, the Versa's "Gliding Wing" dashboard offers a touch of style, while build quality is good for the class. 

The SR's cabin is dressed up more with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and soft-touch dash trim.

A Nissan Connect system with 7-inch touchscreen display quarterbacks infotainment. It controls a six-speaker audio system, SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.  

The 2020 Nisasan Versa SR begins at $18,240, not including $895 for destination.
