You are asking for "family car" suggestions, yet give zero details on the family in question. But since you're looking at a Versa as a realistic option, you should know that Nissan's CVTs (made by Jatco) have a horrendous track record. Stay far away from them.
I'd go with whatever equivalent Toyota is available instead.
It would be me, my mom, and my brother, and a bunch of cats being transported sometimes. The only other realistic option I'd have would be the Volkswagen Virtus (it's essentially just a sedan version of the Polo).
As someone who abhors water-cooled VWs, I would sooner drive a VW over a CVT-equipped Nissan.
