Standard across trim levels is the advanced 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine that promotes confident driving without compromising on performance. It pushes out 122 hp at 6,300 rpm, promising a riveting performance. With a torque rating of 114 lb.-ft. from 4,000 rpm, you are assured of more engine power in lower gears leading to a relaxed drive.

While the S trim of the 2022 Versa is available with a choice of a 5-speed manual transmission or an Xtronic transmission, the SV and SR trims come standard with the Xtronic transmission.

Equipped with the Nissan brand’s pathbreaking dual injector system per cylinder, the Versa engine has enhanced fuel economy and reduced emissions. Compared to conventional injector designs, this system uses injectors with smaller nozzles, which leads to smaller fuel droplets entering the engine and improving combustion stability. Fuel economy is further heightened due to a compression ratio of 10.4:1, implying that the engine attempts to squeeze maximum energy from the fuel.

With the 5-speed manual transmission, the 2022 Versa delivers a fuel economy of 27 mpg in the city, 35 mpg on the highway, and 30 mpg combined. Meanwhile, the Xtronic-equipped models achieve 32 mpg in the city, 40 mpg on the highway, and 35 mpg combined.
