The front wiper blades on a 2016 Nissan Versa are typically 26 inches on the driver's side and 16 inches on the passenger's side for the Versa Sedan, while the Versa Note hatchback usually uses 26 inches by 17 inches. If your Versa Note has a rear wiper, the rear blade is commonly about 11 inches. Sizes can vary by trim or region, so it’s best to verify on your specific vehicle if you’re unsure.
Front wiper blade sizes by Versa variant
The Versa lineup splits between the sedan and the hatchback, which affects the front blade sizes. Use these measurements as a starting point and confirm on your car if needed.
- Versa Sedan (4-door): Driver's side blade 26 inches; Passenger side blade 16 inches.
- Versa Note (hatchback): Driver's side blade 26 inches; Passenger side blade 17 inches.
These sizes reflect common OEM specifications for 2016 Versa models. If your vehicle has different trim features, or if you replaced blades with aftermarket options, sizes may vary slightly. Always verify by measuring the current blades or checking the owner's manual.
Rear wiper blade (Versa Note) availability
The Versa Note hatchback typically includes a rear wiper, which uses a much shorter blade. If your car has a rear wiper, the common size is:
- Rear blade: 11 inches (most 2016 Versa Note configurations).
Note that some Versa Note units may have slightly different rear blade lengths, so measure the existing blade or consult the parts catalog for your exact VIN to be certain. If your Versa Sedan does not have a rear wiper, skip this section.
How to verify the exact size for your vehicle
To ensure you get the right fit for your specific car, follow these steps:
- Check the owner’s manual or the information printed on the current wiper blades themselves for size details.
- Measure the length of the current blades with a tape measure by extending the blade and measuring from the center of the wiper arm to the tip.
- If you have trouble, look up your exact vehicle’s parts information using the VIN at Nissan’s official parts site or a trusted parts retailer to confirm OEM blade sizes.
- Visit a dealer parts counter or an auto parts store with your year, make, and model to have blades matched by size and type.
Verifying the size on your specific Versa variant helps prevent oversize blades from hitting the hood or under-sizing that leaves the windshield inadequately covered. Sizes listed here are typical, but your exact configuration may differ.
Choosing the right blade type and where to buy
When shopping, you can choose between conventional, beam (frameless), and hybrid blade designs. All the sizes above refer to the blade length, not the blade technology. Your climate and driving conditions can influence which type you prefer.
- Conventional blades
- Beam (frameless) blades
- Hybrid blades
Whichever you choose, ensure you buy blades in the correct size for each windshield position (driver and passenger), and remember to replace the rear blade separately if your Versa Note is equipped with one.
Summary
For a 2016 Nissan Versa, expect 26" driver and 16" passenger front blades on the sedan, and 26" by 17" on the Versa Note hatchback. If a rear wiper exists on the Versa Note, the typical rear blade is 11". Always confirm with your manual or by measuring the current blades or VIN-based parts lookup to ensure a precise fit.
