Nissan Versa Sales Figures

Nissan Versa

Here you will find monthly and yearly United States and Canadian sales figures for the Nissan Versa. The Versa is Nissan’s subcompact sedan and one of the lowest-priced new cars sold in America, powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder and offered with a five-speed manual on the base trim or an Xtronic CVT. It has long served as an entry point to the new-car market for value-focused buyers who want low running costs and strong fuel economy.

Nissan Versa Sales in the United States

Nissan Versa sales in the United States peaked in the middle of the last decade, when the nameplate reached 144,528 units in 2015 after several years above 99,000. Volume then eased through the late 2010s as the subcompact segment contracted, sliding to 66,596 in 2019 and 48,272 in 2020. The redesigned third-generation sedan arrived for 2020, but supply constraints pushed deliveries to a low of 13,399 in 2022. Sales rebuilt quickly from there, rising to 24,807 in 2023, 42,590 in 2024, and 50,961 in 2025, a gain of about 20 percent over 2024 and the highest annual total since 2021. Through the first half of 2026 Nissan delivered 14,857 Versas in the United States, running about 52 percent behind the same six months of 2025.

Nissan Versa Sales in Canada

In Canada the Versa was most popular in its early years, reaching 21,940 units in 2007 and holding above 20,000 through 2009. Demand then declined steadily over the following decade as the subcompact segment shrank, falling to 2,369 in 2019 and just 126 in 2020 during the model changeover. The current sedan brought a modest recovery, with Canadian sales climbing from 1,286 in 2022 to 3,776 in 2025. That recovery proved short-lived: Versa deliveries essentially stopped after the first quarter of 2026, and Nissan Canada now lists the Versa among its discontinued models. Only 228 units were reported in the first half of 2026, nearly all of them in January through March.
