Nissan's Versa Hatchback
Nissan's new hatchback is labeled a 2007 model but will go on sale early next summer.
Starting at about twelve grand, the vehicle is positioned to expland Nissan's car line, grab some Scion mojo and take advantage of the newly revived small car mania.
See, you really can fit a lot into a small set of wheels! A sedan will be available in the fall of 2006.
Versa is an built on Nissan’s “B” platform and will be made at the company's Aguascalientes, Mexico facility, which also builds the Nissan Sentra. Versa will be called the Tiida in Mexico, Japan, China and other markets.
The Versa comes standard with a 1.8-liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine, rated at an estimated 120-horsepower and 125-plus lb-ft of torque.
Fuel economy is estimated at a combined 38 miles per gallon with the available Nissan Xtronic CVT. Final engine performance and fuel economy rating will be finalized closer to vehicle on-sale date.
