Moderate overlap front: original test
Rating applies to 2020-24 models
Tested vehicle: 2020 Nissan Versa S 4-door
The Nissan Versa was redesigned for the 2020 model year. The car is heavier and slightly larger than the earlier design and therefore is now classified as a small car rather than a minicar. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Nissan.
