"Nissan Versa is meant to be comfortable for wallets. That it’s also comfortable for rear-seat passengers is a pleasant surprise." – Carconnection
2018 Nissan Versa Seating and Comfort
With a starting price of as low as $12,110, the 2018 Nissan Versa's cabin is bound to have a lot of low-rent and hard-touch plastics even at prominent places. That said, the dashboard design is simple and functional with the center part of the dashboard having stereo and HVAC controls. The visibility outside the cabin is great but the spartan base trim lacks even height adjustment for seats and reach and rake adjustment for the steering wheel. Further down the base trim doesn't even get power windows and door locks thus putting it at a disadvantage
The commodious cabin of the Versa offers the best amount of space in both the rows which can even put to shame cars from a segment above. The seats though lack a sufficient amount of cushion and support thus long drives in the Versa will tire you out very soon. All the trims get fabric-trimmed seats while the higher trims get upgraded fabric for the seats. Only the top trim SV gets height adjustment for seats with a driver-side armrest while the lower two trims are barebones in terms of creature comfort features.

The slightly longer length and wheelbase of the Nissan Versa have been cleverly utilized by its engineer to eke out a spacious cabin with a class-leading leg and headroom in both rows. The only one that comes close to offering a similar cabin space is the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 which is another marvel considering the fact that it gets smaller exterior dimensions compared to the Versa.
