When you start MC, if there's a new version you don't have, it will ask you if you want to update. You should always say yes. So the answer to your question is: the latest one available. In other words, the console MC is updated to the newest version pretty much automatically. (Also, even if missed a few updates, once you do update, it downloads and installs all the updates you need all at once. You don't get to pick and choose which ones you want.)
If you're asking for a version number (like the PC), there really isn't one. Consoles use "Title Updates" (TU's) instead. The latest one is TU16, which came out yesterday.

Thanks, but I know all that. Is there no place where you can see which TU is currently installed? Similar to a Help > About window that would show TU16, 1.16, etc.

If you go to help on the menu, then options, go to "Whats New". It should give you the latest update there. Although it might just give you the list of features from the major update (the ones with all the features).
Anyways, that's how you can know (or at least get a general idea) of what update you're on.
It can be determined indirectly by going to the Xbox Settings tab - System - Storage - Devices (select) - Games and Apps - Minecraft - Minecraft Title Update. This will show the date the update was downloaded. Since only the most recent update is available for download on any given date, if a person goes to the Version History page in the Wiki, they can find out what TU was currrent on the date of their download... and that will be the TU that the game is currently at on their system.

Good info to know!
I didn't think there was a in-game version number indicator (cause basically it's not needed).

(At least I've never seen or heard of one.)
As I said, if you did your updates, you have the "current and latest" one.
Does the 'number' really matter?

They used to title the updates with the TU number, but for some unknown reason they stopped doing that.
