Question 1

Is the 2025 Nissan Versa still the least expensive new sedan in Canada and what trims are available?

Accepted Answer

The 2025 Versa is one of the least expensive new sedans available in Canada, starting at approximately $17,998 for the S with a five-speed manual transmission. The S CVT starts at approximately $19,498. Available trims are S, SV, and SR. The SV at around $22,000 includes heated front seats, cruise control, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The engine is the proven 1.6L HR16DE multi-point injection four-cylinder producing 122 hp — the same reliable block used in the Kicks. Official fuel consumption is 7.1 L/100 km in mixed driving, making it one of the lowest-cost vehicles to run in Canada on a per-kilometer fuel basis.

Question 2

Is the 2025 Versa suitable for long highway drives between Canadian cities?

Accepted Answer

For trips between Montreal and Ottawa or Toronto and London, the 2025 Versa handles itself well thanks to a long wheelbase for its class (2,620 mm) that limits body roll. Rear legroom of 1,031 mm exceeds the discontinued Toyota Yaris and is comparable to the Honda Fit. Wind and road noise at highway speed (110 km/h) is slightly higher than in larger compacts, due to the more limited sound insulation typical of subcompacts. The 41 L fuel tank provides an approximate range of 580 km in mixed driving. For a Montreal–Toronto trip (approximately 540 km), one fuel stop is generally sufficient. Front seat comfort is adequate for 3–4 hours of highway driving before a rest stop is recommended.

Question 3

What are the advantages of buying a new 2025 Versa vs a 2–3 year old used car?

Accepted Answer

The primary argument for the new 2025 Versa is the complete 3-year/60,000 km warranty with roadside assistance coverage, combined with a price only marginally above comparable used compacts from 2022–2023. With Nissan Canada dealer financing rates (often 2.9–4.9% over 60 months for qualified buyers), the monthly cost of a new Versa SV can be as low as $310–$370/month. A used vehicle in the same category with 40,000 km offers no warranty or very limited coverage. For a driver who values peace of mind, the full active safety technology on the 2025 Versa SV (AEB, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure warning are now standard) often justifies the slight premium over the used market.
