I think you will be just fine for clearance using the Saris SuperClamp EX 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4025F with your 2017 Nissan Versa Note on typical road surfaces. The platform mounts to an upward angled arm providing the attached platform a lowest point approximately the same plane as your hitch. The only issue could be extreme road grade when changing from road surface to another, be conscience to your angle of approach on steep ramps, same as any other rack. When folded upright position, this will extend from your hitch approximately 17"and 26" when folded down for use. Per my available specs, your vehicle has a ground clearance of 6.8 in /173 mm.
