The Nissan Versa consistently ranks among the most fuel-efficient affordable cars, particularly in highway driving. Here’s how it compares:
2025 Nissan Versa Fuel Economy
Achieves 32 mpg city/40 mpg highway with its CVT-equipped 1.6L engine, positioning it as a top contender in its class.
Comparison to Competitors
While exact MPG for 2025 models of competitors isn’t fully detailed in available data, typical rivals include:
- Hyundai Accent: ~33 mpg combined
- Kia Rio: ~36 mpg combined
- Mitsubishi Mirage: ~39 mpg combined (higher but smaller engine)
The Versa’s 40 mpg highway outperforms most non-hybrid subcompacts in highway efficiency, though some competitors may edge it out in city or combined ratings. Its CVT optimization and aerodynamic design contribute to its strong highway performance. For 2022 models, the Versa was Nissan’s most efficient gas vehicle, and this dominance appears to continue into 2025.
