The 2020–2025 Versa uses the same key setup, so everything on this page applies to those years too. The full picture is on the Nissan Versa key guide.

Same key system as the 2020–2025 Versa

Nissan kept the Versa's key system unchanged across 2020–2025, so everything about replacing a 2023 key — blanks, programming, and what happens if every key is lost — matches the rest of that run. The full year-by-year breakdown lives in our Nissan Versa key guide.

What drives the price is the key type, whether you still have a working key, and where the car is parked. There's more on Nissan programming in general on our Nissan key page.
