Nissan Versa
Nissan’s entry-level car returns for 2023 with a few cosmetic revisions and new tech features inside. The redesigned front fascia incorporates a brand new grille with multiple horizontal bars that blend in with chrome accents on either side. The Versa’s interior doesn’t change that much except for an 8-inch touchscreen and available wireless charging pad for smartphones. Under the hood, the naturally aspirated 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine continues to deliver 122 horsepower.
