The 2020 model year of Nissan Versa now wears a more serious tone in spite of its contemporary getup. The details of this change furnished by the staff there says that the 2020 model of Nissan Versa is now 2.3 inches lower, got 1.8 wider, and by 1.6 inches longer. To add to the spice, the signature V-motion grille of Nissan along with the signature headlights makes the new Versa look more dated at the front while an equally attractive pair of new taillights in combination with a C-pillar rounds up its glamor when it passes by you, or you see it ahead of you in the traffic.
