The 2024 Nissan Versa S Is Nissan's Cheapest New Car! Here is what you get!

Welcome back to Cars Unlocked. My name is Cars Unlocked Chris. I'm here with the 2024 Nissan Versa S. This is Nissan's lowest priced new car. We're going to go through the ins and outs, tell you what we like, what we don't like about it. Let's get to it. So with an MSRP here in Canada of $23,105, that's about $16,680 for all my American friends out there. This is the lowest price new car vehicle. Now this vehicle is used by a lot of rental companies here in North America because it's very good on gas. There's a low cost of ownership and there's a ton of space on the inside and it's super reliable. This specific one comes in the gun metallic gray. Now with this S package, you can choose black, white, or gray for your exterior colors. On the front end, we do see that Nissan grill here. There's been no really changes from the 2023 model, but they did update the grill in 2023 and I do like this kind of new low profile grill here. We do have our flattened out Nissan emblem. It does have the forward emergency brake and then our headlights are going to be halogen headlights. We have our fog lights down below and they are automatic on off headlights. Now the value of this car is on the inside, so let's jump inside and check it out. You do get this kind of two-tone cloth interior where you have these gray inserts. The front seat is a six-way manual adjustable seat. It will go up and down, forward and back, and it will recline. For the price, this is a great starter car. If this is going to be your first car and you want a car with a warranty or if you just want a nice low payment, this car you can purchase and have a really low payment and still have a full car under warranty. Great just for going to point A to point B. Call them little puddle jumpers. On the side profile, this one's going to come with 15-inch steel wheels, so you do get the hubcaps on this model. If you want aluminum alloy rims, you got to go up to the SV package for this Versa, but 15-inch steel wheels with the hubcaps. You have front disc brakes and rear drum brakes on the rear, so one of the few cars in Nissan that comes with the rear drum brakes still. We do have our body colored matching mirrors, so that's going to come with whatever color you choose, and then we have the black handles. To get the body matching handles, you do need to go up to the next package, and then check this out, they added this kind of blacked out rear pillar here. That kind of just gives it that floating roof look that Nissan has been putting on all their vehicles. Jumping into the rear, that two-tone cloth kind of continues throughout, and on 5.9, I do have quite a bit of space back here. Long trip, it might be a little uncomfortable with three people, but there's a cup holder in each door, there's a little phone storage slot right in the center here, and there's two USBs to charge your devices. Now let's talk about the rear here. On the rear of the Versa, we have the backup camera right under the Nissan symbol there. We have our rear parking sensor, so even though this is a low-priced car, there is still quite a bit of safety features. Rear camera, rear emergency braking as well, and then we do have our Versa badging right on the side there. So now we're in the car, and this is where this car shines. There's a lot of space for a small, compact car. Great on gas, it's 6.4 liters per every 100 kilometers combined, that's about 35.1 mpg, so very good on gas. I do like this D-shaped wheel that they have here, gives you a little bit more leg room, and I do kind of still feel comfortable, like Nissan has very comfortable seats that I really like. It's a 1.6 four-cylinder engine with the CVT transmission. Here's my beef with this Nissan Versa. Being a 2024 model, it still comes with a traditional key. There's no remote lock or unlock, it's just a regular key. For 2024, if I'm spending over 20 grand, I'd be expecting that, but to unlock the car, you still need to approach the car and stick your key in there. It does have the power door locks on the inside, but you can't unlock the car from a distance like most cars can. The other downside is if you want to pop the trunk, let's say you're going grocery shopping and you got your hands full, you can't pop the trunk. You still need to take the key and put it in there, just like the door lock, so no trunk release either, which makes it tough.

Referring to the trunk, this one, like I said, there's a ton of space on the inside and there's a ton of cargo space, so 14.6 cubic feet of cargo space. Now, if you're new to the channel, you'd know we like to go with a little dead body test. This one, you're probably fitting one, one and a half dead bodies in there, depending on how tall they are, but you can fit a lot of luggage, a few supplies, and a couple dead bodies in the trunk. Nothing crazy extravagant here. If you're just looking for a basic car, it will do the job. It has a nice little smooth automatic transmission. It does have the safety features for an emergency brake, rear emergency brake. You have four audio speakers. The other downside, you don't get the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It has this kind of seven inch screen, but there's no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. You can connect your phone through Bluetooth and play music that way, but if you want to do like the Android Auto Google Maps, you'd have to go up to the next package. It comes with an AC. Obviously, you have a USB, and there's two USBs here, so you got three USBs to charge your devices, so pretty much everything you need. Very hard to hit something in this car with all the sensors on it. There is no blind spots, really. If I had the mirrors all the way out, the viewing angles are great from the rear view and from our mirrors, so pretty good, and they do push well through the snow. I've driven these cars in the snow. I would recommend if you buy this car, plan on buying snow tires if you're in an area where there is a lot of snow. Backup camera comes on automatically when you have it in reverse. Makes it easier to park. My biggest complaint about the trunk here is Nissan got rid of the 60-40 split folding seats, so these rear seats do not fold down, so like I said, if you got dead bodies, hockey sticks, skis, any large items, you can't pass them through the trunk and fold the seats down, and they really kind of cheaped out here, guys, with this plastic covering for the trunk. Like, it's just a flimsy piece to cover up the back of the seats. It's hard to notice unless you look closely, but I really wish it had a rear folding seat for those large items. Let's see how this accelerates a little bit here. Obviously slow out of the gate, but a little smooth acceleration, and there we go. We're up to 100, so not too bad. It does have a sport mode as well if you want a little bit more acceleration, but overall, you ain't buying this car to go fast. You're buying it for the fuel economy. One other beef that I have, I know I've mentioned to you guys a lot of beefs about this car, but there is no center armrest here for my elbow, so if you're the type of person that likes to rest their elbow right here, hang on to their sweetie's hand, there's no armrest to do so. Your arm's just kind of floating. On a long drive, it could be a little uncomfortable. I believe Nissan has an accessory that you can buy that pops right in to the center stack and gives you that armrest, but I'd like to see an armrest here. Overall, pretty good car for the price. The prices of cars are increasing. Every single year I do this, they increase, so it's hard to find new cars under $25,000 or under $300,000 a month these days, but this car is going to be your way to get there. There's some things I love, and there's some things that I hate about it that I mentioned. So that is a wrap on your 2024 Nissan Versa here. Was there something I missed? Is there something you like about it? Is there something you don't like about it? I've mentioned the things that I don't like, but if you're looking for a low-priced new car vehicle that has the full warranty, this would be the way to go.
