Overview
- Nissan confirmed U.S. production of the Versa ended in December 2025, closing out the brand’s entry-level sedan here.
- The Versa’s exit eliminates the nation’s last sub-$20,000 new car and lifts the effective price floor to the low $22,000–$23,000 range.
- Nissan positions the Sentra and Altima as its U.S. sedans and points to the Kicks in the compact SUV slot as its value offerings.
- Current pricing benchmarks include the 2026 Hyundai Venue at about $22,150, the Kia K4 sedan at $23,385, the Nissan Kicks Play at $22,910, and the Sentra at roughly $23,845.
- Reporting indicates a next-generation Versa will continue in markets such as Latin America, while Mexico-based production exposes the model to U.S. import tariffs that would inflate pricing.
