2009 Nissan Versa

About 2009 Nissan Versa The Nissan Versa appeals to buyers seeking fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance or roominess. Versa offers one of highest standard horsepower/torque ratings and the largest interior in the entry-level segment -- along with excellent quality, reliability and durability. The front-wheel drive Versa is offered in two body styles, a 5-door hatchback and 4-door sedan -- each available in two well-equipped models, the Versa 1.8 S or the Versa 1.8 SL. The exterior of the Versa Hatchback and Sedan, with their long 102.4-inch wheelbases and short front and rear overhangs, feature a dynamic look and attention to detail, as seen in the large halogen headlights, signature Nissan grille and large taillights. A Sport Package adds a higher level of performance styling with a roof-mounted rear spoiler, lower body side sill extensions, unique front and rear fascia and fog lights. All 2009 Versas feature a standard 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine and a choice of three transmissions: an available Nissan Xtronic CVT, available 4-speed electronically controlled automatic with overdrive or 6-speed manual transmission. With 122 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque, the 1.8-liter engine is powerful and responsive, while also delivering excellent fuel economy.
