Let’s lay out the specs and features of both models and see which is better prepared with modern technology to meet your lifestyle now and in the future.
Interior and Comfort
Both sedans seat up to 5 passengers but the Versa comes up short on headspace in the rear seat and may not be comfortable for adult riders. They do both offer an adequate amount of legroom and are nearly matched on cargo space with the Civic just barely surpassing the Versa in the base model. However, if you need additional space the Civic Hatchback sports 24.5 cubic feet of trunk space that expands when the rear seats are lowered.
If you spring for the Nissan Versa’s convenience package you’ll enjoy heated front seats and automatic climate control. The Honda Civic also offers drivers heated front seats and adds available leather upholstery, heated exterior mirrors, and dual-zone climate control.

Infotainment and Technology
Like many models in its segment, the Nissan Versa doesn’t offer a whole lot in the way of infotainment features. Both the Versa and the base model of the Civic offer drivers a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with standard features that include a USB port, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto. But the Civic also has an available 9-inch system, wireless device charging, additional USB ports, voice recognition, and a 12-speaker Bose sound system.
Performance Comparison
The Nissan Versa is powered by a 122-horsepower four-cylinder engine and has a 5-speed manual transmission on the base model. Higher trims come standard with Continuously Variable Transmission. Drivers may find that the Versa produces a droning sound when the engine is pushed, and getting up to speed on the highway will require mashing the gas pedal.
The Honda Civic has a more capable engine under the hood. Drivers can select a 158-horsepower aspirated four-cylinder or the 180-horsepower turbocharged engine in higher trims.
Safety Features Comparison
The Honda Civic far outstrips the Nissan Versa when it comes to standard safety features. While the Versa provides basic driver assistance features like forward collision warning, rearview camera, pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning, the Honda Civic offers an extensive list of standard features that include:
- Road departure mitigation
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane keeping assist
- Traffic sign recognition
- Rear seat reminder
