Available in each of the three trim levels of the 2020 Nissan Versa, the S, SV and SR, each sedan comes equipped with a next generation 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. This new engine offers a 12 percent and 7 percent increase in horsepower and torque ratings respectively, as the 2019 Versa’s 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine was able to generate just 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque.
