2022 Versa Sedan Interior
Nissan also updated the Versa's cabin for its redesign and it resulted in a vastly improved look and feel. There's still a lot of hard plastics utilized throughout, but the Prima-Tex leatherette dashboard in the SR has the space feeling a bit more premium. There is space for five and a range of upholsteries throughout the lineup. All models are also installed with a seven-inch color touchscreen that helps modernize the cockpit a tad, too. The NissanConnect infotainment system in the top two models brings smartphone functionality and SiriusXM radio connectivity. Heated front seats and automatic climate control are offered optionally, but only for the SR.

Seating and Interior Space
There's ample room up front for the driver and front passenger, but the seats are not the most comfortable in the segment. The driver's seat has six-way manual adjustability no matter which model you go for, so finding an optimal driving position requires a bit of work. The passenger seat gets just four-way manual adjustability - sadly, Nissan doesn't bestow the Versa with the amazing zero-gravity seats that features in some of its larger models, so while the seats are okay in terms of comfort, they're far from class-leading. The front seats in the SR can be installed with heating if so desired. It's in the back where things get really troublesome, with just 36.3 inches of headroom and 31 inches of legroom in the back, it's disappointingly cramped. The middle seat in the back has an elevation that makes it uncomfortable to sit on, too.

Interior Colors and Materials
As a budget car, the Nissan Versa does come outfitted with a lot of second-rate cabin materials and basic seating upholstery as standard, but Nissan has, however, done a superb job with the cabin's design and managed to keep the look and feel not as low-cost as one would expect. You will notice all the plastics used throughout the cabin but Nissan's used a smooth-grain plastic that doesn't actually look or feel too bad at all. A Prima-Tex-appointed dashboard does improve the overall aesthetic in the SR model, however. Cloth upholstery is standard across the board but is upgraded with a premium cloth for the SV and a more stylish sport cloth for the SR. The basic and sport upholstery are finished in Charcoal while the premium upholstery is Graphite in color.
Chrome door handles and matte carbon-fiber look interior door trim add a touch of sportiness to the SV, while the SR benefits from a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
2022 Versa Sedan Trunk and Cargo Space
For a subcompact sedan, the Versa's 15 cubic feet of trunk room is fairly good. For some reason, however, the entry-spec S offers only 14.7 cu.-ft. of room in the trunk, which is still more than how much the Hyundai Accent offers. In older models, the entry-level Versa didn't offer folding seats to accommodate larger items - this has been resolved in this generation, and most models come with a 60/40-split folding rear seat. However, the S variant with the manual transmission has a fixed-back rear seat.
In-cabin storage solutions are rather meager; the front door-side pockets are narrow but do include bottle-holder sections, there's a small-items storage bin beneath the infotainment screen, and a pair of cupholders beside the parking brake. There is also a passenger-side glove compartment. Nissan does offer a front-center armrest with an integrated storage cubby, but it has a hard-plastic surface that can be uncomfortable and it comes at an extra cost.

2022 Versa Sedan Infotainment and Features
Features
Creature comforts and conveniences are, of course, fairly scant throughout the Versa Sedan lineup. Standard fare includes remote keyless entry, power windows, cruise control, manual air conditioning, a six-way manually adjustable driver's seat, and a four-way manually adjustable passenger's seat. It does come standard with a fairly extensive selection of driver assists, however, including high-beam assist, hill-start assist, forward collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, rear automatic braking, lane departure warning, and a rearview camera. The SV and SR get rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring additionally.
In the top-spec SR, you get remote engine start and intelligent keyless access. Intelligent cruise control with limited braking, automatic climate control, and heated front seats are optional for only the SR.
Infotainment
Nissan's standard infotainment system isn't the best, especially in the entry-spec S model. Integrated into the center of the dashboard is a seven-inch display surrounded by knobs and buttons. AM/FM radio connectivity is offered along with Siri Eyes Free and Bluetooth audio streaming. An auxiliary input jack is provided for MP3 devices and there are three USB ports located throughout the cabin for charging.
In the SV and SR models, the setup is upgraded with a NissanConnect seven-inch touchscreen that allows for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration as well as for SiriusXM radio connectivity. Unfortunately, along with slow responses, the screen also picks up a lot of glare which makes the images difficult to see whilst driving. The standard four-speaker audio layout in the S and SV is rather unimpressive, too, and is upgraded with just two more speakers for the SR.
