Pricing for 2012 Nissan Versa Announced

The Versa hatchback, recipient of minor nips and tucks for this model year, debuted July 17th.

Both sedans rev up with a new, lighter four-cylinder 109 horsepower powerplant.

Wheelbase and width are the same as last year, but this year's Versa is lower and slightly shorter.

Lots of niceties included in the base Versa sedan: air conditioning, six-way adjustable driver's seats, AM/FM/CD stereo, tilt steering wheel, and rear defroster.

MPG is 27 city, 36 highway.

The Versa 1.6 SV goes for $14,560 and the 1.6 SL starts at $15,560. (Destination charges not included.)
