How to Calculate The Dealer Cost of a Nissan Versa

Formula for Calculating Dealer Cost:

  • Example: Base Nissan Versa invoice price + the dealer Invoice price of all the options + destination - Holdback = Total Dealer Cost.
  • What is Holdback? A hidden amount that manufacturers give back to a dealer. It is a percentage of the MSRP or the Invoice price.

Total Dealer Cost - Rebate and Incentive + Taxes / Licensing Fees = True Dealer Cost. (You can get rebates and incentives here)

Nissan Versa Overview:

The 2022 Nissan Versa is an excellent choice for those wanting a smaller commuter vehicle that will get them outstanding fuel economy. This sedan has an extensive list of standard safety equipment for the price point, plus quite a bit of cargo space to offer. Additionally, the ride is smooth, and the cabin is comfortable. Anyone shopping in the extra-small sedan section of the market will want to know more about the new Versa.

What's New for 2022?

Nissan completely redesigned the Versa in 2020 for the launch of its third generation. It got a more powerful engine and many more standard features. Nissan is so confident in the design of this generation of the Versa that they made no changes in 2021 or 2022.

Performance Stats

All three of the 2022 Versa trim levels are powered by a 1.6L four-cylinder engine with an output of 122-horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. The entry-level S comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission, which may appeal to some buyers. A continuously variable transmission is also available for the S, and it comes standard for the SV and SR. All three of the trims get front-wheel drive.

Fuel Economy

The Versa with a manual transmission is estimated to get 27mpg in the city and 35mpg on the highway. Models with the CVT do better, getting an estimated 32mpg city and 40mpg highway. That second set of numbers is quite good for the class, while the first set is closer to average.

Exterior Design

The redesign of the Versa in 2020 helped it fit in with the other Nissan sedans. It now shows off the same grille design as the Maxima, and it also has the "floating roof" that the larger Nissan sedans are known for. The entry-level model sits on 15-inch steel wheels. Choosing the SV will mean getting 16-inch alloy wheels, while the top SR goes all the way up to 17-inches. That trim is also the only one to get LED headlights, plus a rear spoiler to give the Versa a sportier look.

Technology Features

A 7-inch touchscreen is standard for the entry-level S trim, which is also equipped with Bluetooth and Siri Eyes Free. The base Versa also comes with a four-speaker sound system. If buyers want Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, they will need to step up to the SV or SR trim level. Those trims also come with satellite radio. Setting the SR apart from the other Versa trims is a six-speaker sound system.

Safety Features & Scores

Despite its low price tag, the Nissan gives drivers several standard advanced driver aids. Forward-collision warning, lane departure warning, forward automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection are all included. Naturally, a rearview camera is standard as well.

Both the SV and SR come equipped with blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. The SR gets foglights and LED headlights. It is also available with a convenience package that has adaptive cruise control, along with heated front seats and automatic climate control.

The 2022 Nissan Versa did well in testing conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It received the maximum of five stars overall. A closer look at the scores reveals that it got four stars for frontal and rollover testing and five stars for side-crash testing.

Interior Space

When it comes to trunk space, most subcompact sedans cannot keep up with the Versa. The base S trim level has 14.7 cubic feet, while the remaining two trims have a full 15 cubic feet. The Versa is designed to seat five people, but only two adults would want to sit in the backseat at the same time. Taller passengers will want to sit in the front, if possible.

Interior Quality

Although the Versa is not luxurious, it does not feel cheap by any means. The entry-level model is equipped with push-button ignition, a height-adjustable driver's seat, and power windows. If buyers go with the manual transmission, the backseat is fixed. CVT models have a 60/40 split-folding rear seat for more convenience.

The SV sticks with cloth upholstery, but it is slightly nicer than what is in the S. Going with the SR will mean getting upgraded to a leather-wrapped steering wheel, remote start, and "sport cloth" upholstery with fabric inserts. It is the only trim level to offer heated front seats and automatic climate control.

The 2022 Nissan Versa is an affordable vehicle that will not make buyers feel like they are settling. It is worth exploring in person during a test drive.

Note: All Nissan Versa MSRP, invoice and dealer cost dollar figures above are subject to change without notice.

A note about rebates: Most rebates are subtracted from the "on the road" figure. In most cases, you can have the rebate if you are arranging your own financing or you are paying cash. If you decide to use the manufacturer’s low interest financing, you do not usually get the rebate. Ask your dealer for details.
