What the ratings mean

NHTSA gives the 2022 Nissan Versa 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 7 comparable 2022 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.

NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.

NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 11.8% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares

At 35 MPG combined, the 2022 Nissan Versa ranks 5th of 11 compact cars EPA rated for 2022 — exactly the 35 MPG median for that group.

That places it a little below the middle of its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.

EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $1,750, within $0 of the $1,750 typical for the class — roughly $8,750 over five years.

Tailpipe CO₂ is 254 grams per mile — about 3.8 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
