![2008 Nissan Versa](images/Nissan/nissan_Versa_2008_01-800.jpg)
When the all-new Nissan Versa was launched in North America for the 2007 model year, there was a cautious optimism that its breakout combination of outstanding roominess, comfort, fuel efficiency, style, safety and versatility would find acceptance in the marketplace. One year later, Versa is a major success, with sales building month after month – attracting a wide range of buyers seeking a dynamic alternative to traditional entry-level hatchbacks and sedan. (concept carz) For 2008, Versa expands its appeal with an optional Sport Package for Versa Sedan SL models (already available on Versa Hatchback SL).Built on Nissan's proven B-platform, Versa's unique packaging layout provides a spacious cabin with class-leading head and rear leg room. Versa also offers the highest standard horsepower rating in class and unexpected available technology, including include Nissan's Intelligent Key, a Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer, an auxiliary mp3 player input and XM® Satellite Radio. 'Along with its low cost of entry, Versa offers exceptional interior space and a responsive driving experience, empowering buyers to make their choice based on want they want, not what they can afford,' said Bill Bosley, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. 'Add in Versa's fresh styling, a comfortable interior and innovation found only in higher segment vehicles and it creates a smart, uncompromising choice. No wonder Versa has been one of our most successful new product introductions in recent Nissan history.'Versa Hatchback went on sale in July 2006, with the Versa Sedan model following in January 2007. Through June 2007, the two Versas have combined to sell more 59,000 units in less than one year of production.Two Distinctive Body Styles, One Powerful Drivetrain

In Versa, Nissan's design and engineering teams found a way to fit a large interior in a small car. Interior length, front to back, is more than six feet. Both the Versa Hatchback and Versa Sedan have large cargo areas, ideal for owners with highly active lives. Versa Hatchback models feature a 60/40 split fold-down rear bench that allows for a wider spectrum of passenger/cargo space combinations.

Versa has received the highest possible ratings in both government (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration – '5 stars') and private (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety – 'Good') safety tests, thanks in part to safety features including the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) (includes dual-stage front supplemental air bags and front seat side-impact supplemental air bags for chest protection), and available roof-mounted curtain side-impact air bags for front and rear outboard occupant head protection. Additional safety features on 2008 Versas include standard LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system, child safety rear door locks, child seat upper tether anchors, front seat Active Head Restraints and standard Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).Models and Manufacturing

'Versa also opens up the Nissan dealer shopping and service experience to a wide range of consumers who may have only previously dreamed about owning a Nissan.'Versa is manufactured at Nissan's Aguascalientes, Mexico assembly plant that also builds Nissan Sentra models for the Únited States market.Source - Nissan
