The 2025 Nissan LEAF and the 2025 Nissan Versa are two popular choices for drivers seeking an affordable city car. Here’s a rundown of their differences so that you know what to expect during a test drive here at our Nissan dealership.
Class and Power
The 2025 LEAF is an electric hatchback powered by a single motor driving the front wheels and a 40 kWh or a 60 kWh propulsion battery. The base powertrain provides 147 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, while the larger battery offers 214 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque.
The 2025 Versa is a gas-powered subcompact sedan. Each of its three trim levels is powered by a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine with 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque.
Comfort and Cargo
While both the 2025 LEAF and the 2025 Versa are compact vehicles with seats for five riders, the LEAF is more suitable for families. This hatchback has a generous cargo area with a volume of 23.6 cubic feet, which is easy to expand thanks to the 60/40 split-folding rear bench. It also provides 42.1 inches of legroom at the front and 33.5 inches for the second row.
The Versa is a better option for commuters and new drivers. This sedan provides a generous 44.5 inches of front-row legroom, which is plenty for tall drivers, and 31 inches of second-row legroom. The trunk offers 14.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity, and a 60/40 split-folding rear bench is available on select trims.
Tech Features
Both vehicles come equipped with the NissanConnect infotainment system, offered standard with an 8-inch touchscreen on the LEAF and a 7-inch touchscreen on the Versa. Smartphone integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is standard on the LEAF and available on the Versa, while Nissan’s connected services are optional on both models.
Driver Assistance Technologies
Nissan also equips both the LEAF and the Versa with advanced driver assistance technologies, including anti-collision systems with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection. Rear automatic braking is standard on both models, while rear cross-traffic alerts are available on select Versa trim levels.
