Nissan Versa 2025 keeps 1.6 engine, surprises in the entry-level version and stands out for its reliability

Nissan Versa 2025 keeps 1.6 engine, surprises in the entry-level version and stands out for its reliability
The 2025 Versa Sense maintains a balanced design, but makes some cuts to reduce costs. The rearview mirrors, for example, come in matte black, while the door handles are already painted in the color of the car. Alloy wheels replace hubcaps, a positive difference in the category.

The new Nissan Versa 2025 hits the market with a 1.6 naturally aspirated 113 hp engine, CVT transmission and efficient consumption of up to 15 km/l on gasoline. The entry-level Sense version maintains advanced safety features, such as brake assist and frontal collision alert, and has a starting price of R$117.600.

The 2025 Nissan Versa arrives in Brazil with few changes, but it maintains one strong point: the 1.6 naturally aspirated engine. Unlike some competitors, it did not adopt a 1.0 turbo. The model continues to be one of the most economical and reliable compact sedans on the market.

Updated design, but with cost cuts

The design follows Nissan's identity, but with some savings. The rearview mirrors are black, while the door handles match the body color. The alloy wheels are a plus, replacing the hubcaps common in basic versions of other sedans.

At the rear, the LED taillight stands out. The 466-liter trunk is among the largest in the category, ideal for traveling. The interior space is comfortable, with good leg and headroom, even for tall passengers.

More security than expected

Despite being the entry-level version, the 2025 Nissan Versa surprises with equipment that is usually found in more expensive versions. It comes with emergency braking assist, forward collision warning and cruise control.

The model comes with four airbags as standard, stability and traction controls, and rear parking sensors. These items increase security and make the model more competitive compared to rivals such as the Chevrolet Onix Plus and Volkswagen Virtus.

1.6 engine and efficient consumption

The 1.6 16V flex engine delivers 113 hp with ethanol and 110 hp with gasoline. Torque is 15,3 kgfm with ethanol and 15,2 kgfm with gasoline. The CVT gearbox simulates six gears, providing smooth gear changes and better fuel consumption.

Consumption figures are good for the category:

  • City: 8,1 km/l on ethanol and 11,8 km/l on gasoline.
  • Road: 10,5 km/l on ethanol and 15 km/l on gasoline.

The model goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 10,7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 km/h. The reliability of the mechanical assembly is also a highlight, as the naturally aspirated engine has lower maintenance costs compared to turbo engines.

Is the 2025 Nissan Versa worth buying?

The 2025 Nissan Versa stands out for its economy, comfort and safety. Its 1.6 naturally aspirated engine may not be the most modern, but it offers reliability and low consumption. The interior space and large trunk make it a great option for families.

If the priority is an economical, safe sedan without mechanical surprises, it continues to be one of the best in the segment.
