Catering to Generation Y?"comprising new drivers and those under 30?"automakers are in fierce competition. Toyota made waves in 2003 with their Scion brand, and now, Nissan is responding with the Versa, hitting the market in summer 2006. Can the Versa hold its ground against a growing number of Gen Y vehicles? Let's delve into its offerings.
A glance at Nissan's website shows the Versa’s charm. Unlike some box-like competitors, the Versa boasts an aerodynamic design reminiscent of the Toyota Matrix. Offered as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback, it's expected to start at about $12,000, aligning with Scion's pricing. The Versa includes ample features to provide a satisfying driving experience right off the lot, without needing costly extras.
Equipped with a 1.8L I4 engine, the base models come with:
- AM/FM/CD audio system
- Air Conditioning
- Power side mirrors and automatic trunk release
- 6-speed manual transmission (4-speed automatic optional)
- Split-folding 60/40 seat with the hatchback
This impressive list ensures drivers get more for their money. For an additional $2,000, the SL version offers aluminum alloy wheels, cruise control, power windows, doors, and locks, remote keyless entry, an upgraded sound system, and more.
The Versa's 102-inch wheelbase is generous for its class, offering ample interior space comfortable enough for four adults on long trips. The interior design is thoughtful and stylish, with an attractive dashboard featuring overlapping circular instruments and easy-to-reach controls for audio and air conditioning. Unlike older entry-level cars, the Versa avoids looking or feeling cheap, meeting the expectations of today’s drivers with its style and features.
Replacing the Sentra as Nissan’s entry-level model, the Versa takes over as the Sentra moves upmarket, mirroring Honda's approach with the Civic and Toyota with the Corolla.
Though pricier than Chevy’s Aveo and Kia’s Rio, the Versa stands out with its style. Yet, how will it compete against Toyota’s upcoming Yaris and the new Honda Fit? Add in new models from Dodge and Ford, and incoming options from Chinese brands, and the market becomes crowded.
Ultimately, the Versa is a promising addition, providing a stylish option amidst its boxy rivals. Gen Y drivers now have another compelling choice with the Versa, offering a fresh alternative to Toyota's Scion brand.
