2013 Nissan Versa Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Nissan’s no-frills and bare-bones approach with the Versa continues with its 2013 offering. Consider the 2013 Nissan Versa, much like the Versa versions that came before it, as a taking-care-of-business vehicle that boasts of being fairly roomy and appeals to anyone looking for value and not caught up in worrying about much in the way of design, performance or features.
The 2013 Nissan Versa fits that bill and, coming off a 2012 redesign that did tweak its look and make it a little more curvy last year, has added to the plus-side of the ledger a bit by improving its fuel economy.
Still, reviewers often tend to define the 2013 Nissan Versa by what it lacks and how it trails other cars on the market. The point remains that at about $15,000 to start, Nissan can market it as one of the most affordable cars in America, along with entries such as the Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio and Toyota Yaris.
The experts point to a paucity of engine power from the Versa, cite the less-than-impressive quality of interior materials, are not fond of its navigation system and call the exterior design “forgettable.” So yes, Nissan takes the front-wheel-drive Versa against the grain some in comparison to automakers who have fancied up their compacts and subcompacts.
The Versa counters with its large trunk, a comfortable ride and relatively wide back seats that can accommodate passengers better than most cars of its size and some that are even larger. Nissan likes to call the Versa a “Big Little Car.” It also appeals to folks who find they really don’t need the punch on the highway that some rivals bring.
For them, the 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque will suffice. They appreciate that the 2013 Nissan Versa bumps up its fuel economy numbers to 30 mpg city/40 highway with a new continuously variable transmission (CVT). A 5-speed manual transmission comes standard in the base S trim. The CVT is standard in the SV and SL trims and available to the S. Mileage numbers dip to 27/36 with the manual transmission.
Nissan has added some niceties through the years to the Versa, too. The base 2013 Nissan Versa S gets air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD stereo with a couple of speakers and an auxiliary audio input jack, and a trip computer. In true no-frills mode, though, the base version has windows that roll up manually and manual locks. The S Plus includes a cruise control package.
Moving up to the SV brings a couple more speakers, an upgraded trip computer, power windows and locks, cloth seats of a higher quality and other interior upgrades.
The 2013 Nissan Versa SL tops things off with 15-inch aluminum alloy wheels, Bluetooth phone integration, a radio-data system and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls. The SL Tech Package is a new option and includes a rear-view monitor.
The 2013 Nissan Versa comes with stability and traction control systems, antilock brakes, a tire pressure monitoring system and dual front, side and side-curtain airbags.

Good value! Everything about the car is great, except the transmission. The car in general is in great shape. If the transmission holds up for about a year this buy will be well worth it. Sep 20, 2022

Took this little guy to Long Island. It got really great milage per gallon averaging 46 on the highway and 37 around town. Not a great passing gear but a steady drive. Basic interior storage, cup holders etc were ok.
For basic vehicle needs with great mileage I would give this little car a 9. 5
Look - 8.5
Handling - 8
Comfort - 7.5
Overall - 9Mar 12, 2013
What users have asked
why does my air conditioner not work in my brand new Nissan Versa?
I bought my brand new Nissan Versa (2013) one month ago. It just started getting warm recently and discovered the air conditioner does not work. I called the lot where I purchased my car. They said that it probably had no freon or needed a charge. I took my car in thinking this was going to be a simple quick fix. After waiting 2 + hours I asked them about it. I proceeded to enter the area where the mechanic was working on my car which was taken apart and told by the mechanic that he might need to remove my dashboard and probably would not get my car back until the next day. I talked to the owner, the manager and was pissed. I was sold this car that was broken in the first place, a car I am paying $435.00 a month for. I believe I should get another car. He told me I would have to pay $5000 down. I traded my Ford Escape in for the Nissan Versa. I left there and have called the Nissan manufacturer who is supposed to call me back today. Do I have a leg to stand on here? Aren't I the customer and the one footing the bill for the car they sold me with a problem?

Surging in my 2013 nissan versa sl
So i just hit 40,000 miles on my 2013 nissan versa with pure drive. Check engine lighr came on after i came to a stop then pressed the gas pedal to accelerate like normal. The car surges never has happened. A few days later the check engine light goes off but the surging is getting worse and more frequent. Is this normal or is my car a money oit now. Any suggestions would be great to help fix this problem.

My A/C Dash Control Switch only works if I hold it in. Is this a switch issue or a control panel issue?
My A/C dash control knob works when it is held in but will not engage a/c once it is released. How do I repair this?
