    The 2022 Nissan Versa is very unsafe compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2022 Nissan Versa has a score of 58, implying a 0.071% chance of driver death (6.3% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2022 Nissan Versa has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0708% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 8.0884%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0708% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 8.0884% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2022 Nissan Versa is 52% more likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons, the 2022 Nissan Versa is 40% more likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Nissan's Safety Shield 360 active safety features can protect loved ones by preventing accidents and reducing accident severity. The following active safety system is included even on lower trims/versions of the 2022 Nissan Versa: Automatic Emergency Braking w/ Pedestrian Detection. Optional safety features on the 2022 Nissan Versa which we recommend include Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning.

    Some safety technologies get a lot of press, but another may also improve safety. Optional side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you.

    And it is about as safe as many comparable models.
