Redesigned from the ground up for 2012, the Nissan Versa sedan takes small cars in an all-new direction. While compact cars are a budget- and earth-friendly investment, many drivers find their tight quarters, lifeless performance and dull style disappointing. Nissan's engineers created the "Big Small Car" to give consumers a better option. They aimed to revitalize the segment with the completely redesigned 2012 Nissan Versa, which has broken ground by offering a small car with inspired, contemporary styling, plenty of leg and shoulder room and a spirited performance. Now you can make the "right" choice and still get everything you want out of a car. The 2012 Versa offers a terrific mix of luxury and economy at an affordable starting MSRP, making it a great option over vehicles like the Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent, Chevrolet Sonic and Ford Fiesta.
