Nissan Versa 2012 Review

The new Nissan Versa Sedan looks small from exterior but it’s big from inside. 2012 Nissan Versa equip with more fuel efficient from 33 miles per galon, Smart technology with next-generation efficiency.

According to information we received, this car will be released in autumn 2011, and the following is information about the performances, specifications, features, and the 2012 Nissan Versa competitors. This car is a very strange car in the market because sales are always better than expected, this may be because that is the Nissan Versa hatchback at affordable prices with a niche market that is relatively easy. 

For 2012 Nissan Versa model, Nissan will launch four-door sedan that was recently unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show in China and branded as the Nissan Sunny. It will retain many features of the current model and option package, but from first glance appears to be a vehicle almost entirely new.

Transportation of family and all friend, the designers of the new Nissan Versa sedan for five passengers was attempting to combine the convenience of a high level of comfort and refinement. It also provides an unexpectedly available for entertainment and connectivity features like Bluetooth®, navigation system 5-inch touchscreen, Satellite Radio and iPod ® / USB interface.

Model 2012 Nissan Versa is a sedan only, and the cabin height of the hatchback has been abolished. 2012 Nissan Versa will have a very slim outside appearance that was originally going to confuse the audience. The design is very sporty, if anything that resembles a concept version of Toyota Corolla future. Many experts have made various preparations is seen as a replacement eventually to model Sentra and Versa surprise is felt as the name will be recorded for all-new subcompact.

The machine will come standard and a list of standard interior features, Nissan is keeping a rather guarded secret. Hatchback currently has a 122 engine horsepower 4-cylinder and would seem appropriate to model clothing 2012 Nissan Versa with the same powertrain, but Nissan may consider slightly larger engine, or at least offer an uplevel trim. Read also: 2012 Nissan Sentra.

Because it is designed very differently than the current sedan or hatchback, airbag configuration will change, because the cabin is now a completely different shape. 2011 Sedan models have six airbags and Brake Assist is combined with Vehicle Dynamic Control. There is no reason to think that Nissan will eliminate this feature or to change them because of this configuration becomes standard on more vehicles worldwide, even in the economy segment of the industry price.

Exterior features also include a fixed roof antenna, Body color front and rear fascia and grille available chrome-accented, black-out B-pillars, chrome door handles and fog lamps. 2012 Versa Sedan is available in eight exterior colors, including metallic blue, Onyx, Super Black, Brilliant Silver, Magnetic Gray, red brick, fresh powder and titanium.

Because of its sporty appearance, the 2012 Nissan Versa will have the buyer try to find out what’s vehicle classification Indeed subcompact entry, but given all the changes, price sticker is still unknown. 2011 Versa sedan starts under $ 10,000, but if the model 2012 Nissan Versa is much higher then that means the Versa will compete directly against the 2012 Chevrolet Aveo, Toyota Corolla and Kia Rio possible. All have a miniscule engine fuel economy is good and some additional important, but the question is whether buyers wanted a sporty, almost striking a vehicle more visible in low-end.

New Nissan Versa 2011 Review

The 2011 Nissan Versa certainly has that bargain-basement price thing down (it is one of the cheapest cars on sale in the United States), yet a penalty box it most certainly is not. If all you're looking for is simple, safe, spacious, comfortable and, yes, cheap transportation, then the Versa might be all you need.

More changes are light for the 2011 Nissan Versa: antilock brakes are now included with the upgraded 1.6 sedan trim, while the 1.8 S sedan gains a six-disc CD changer.

Nissan Versa is available in four-door sedan and hatchback body styles and its most basic models offer little in the way of convenience features. If you opt for the cheapest trim level, you'll be cranking your own windows, climbing across seats to unlock doors and humming to your own tunes because there are neither power accessories nor even a radio. But you still get enough space for four 6-footers, comfy seats, a soft ride, a nicely crafted interior and a large trunk.

Stepping up to the higher trim levels gets you common features like power accessories, air-conditioning and a radio. But the Versa is one of the few cars in its price range to offer such items as keyless ignition/entry, a navigation system, an iPod interface and Bluetooth. In other words, depending on your preference, the Versa can be either bare-bones transportation or one of the best-equipped small cars on the market.

If there is a downside to the Versa, however, it's that this car represents simple transportation and nothing more. If you're OK spending more than the least amount of money possible and are looking for something with both visual excitement and energetic driving, subcompacts like the Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit and Mazda 2 will make the Versa seem dowdy and forgettable. The Honda ironically offers more versatile passenger and cargo compartments as well. Yet no matter which of these bargain-basement cars you go for, rest assured that you won't be sentencing yourself to years in a penalty box.

The 2011 Nissan Versa is a subcompact car available in sedan and hatchback styles. The two lowest trims -- 1.6 Base and 1.6 -- are sedan only, while the 1.8 S and 1.8 SL can be had as a hatchback as well.

The 1.6 Base lives up to its name with scarcely any convenience equipment, providing only 14-inch steel wheels, a tilt steering wheel, intermittent wipers and four audio speakers (but no stereo to go along with them). The 1.6 adds air-conditioning, antilock brakes (optional on Base) and the option to get an automatic transmission.

The 1.8 S trim adds 15-inch steel wheels, power mirrors, cushier front seats and a stereo with a six-disc CD changer and an auxiliary audio jack. The Power Plus package adds power windows and locks, keyless entry, cruise control and padded door armrests.

The 1.8 SL adds 15-inch alloy wheels, a height-adjustable driver seat, upgraded cloth upholstery, front and rear center armrests, 60/40 split rear seatbacks (sedan) and a six-speaker stereo. The sedan's Convenience package adds keyless ignition/entry, Bluetooth and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. The Hatchback's Premium package is basically the same thing, but adds 16-inch alloy wheels. An auto-dimming rearview mirror and interior ambient lighting are optional on the 1.8 S (sedan only) and 1.8 SL; the hatchback can also be equipped with a sunroof. Finally, the 1.8 SL can be equipped with a navigation system that includes a small touchscreen, real-time traffic, an iPod interface and satellite radio.

The 2011 Nissan Versa has a remarkably roomy cabin. Headroom is plentiful thanks to the car's tall roof, and generous legroom allows 6-foot passengers in both the front and rear seats to sit comfortably. Looks-wise, the car's interior is quite bland, but overall interior quality is high. The controls are simple and easy to use, and optional items like keyless ignition/entry, Bluetooth and satellite radio are welcome goodies in this budget-friendly car.

Thanks to its softly tuned suspension, the 2011 Nissan Versa offers the sort of pillow-like ride that's usually reserved for much larger cars. It handles with enough agility to suit most drivers, but those seeking a more engaging driving experience will be better served by the Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit or Mazda 2.

Both the Versa's engine choices pack a solid midrange punch, making them capable performers around town and on the freeway. We're not huge fans of the six-speed manual transmission that comes with the 1.8 S -- the low-effort clutch can be difficult to modulate -- and the four-speed automatic is similarly uninspiring. We'd recommend going with either the 1.6's five-speed manual or the SL's hatchback's CVT.

Nissan Shows 2012 GT-R Facelift in Paris but won't Release Details Until October 18th

Tucked away in a glassed corner of Nissan's Paris Motor Show booth was the 2012 GT-R facelift. So, did the updated GT-R make its world premiere in Paris or not? Yes and no. See, while the car made its first public appearance in Paris, oddly enough, Nissan said it wouldn't release any information until mid October.

Here's the official statement from the Japanese automaker: "The GT-R engineering team are currently at the Nordschliefe, the legendary circuit in Germany, where they are in the process of signing-off the final updates on the forthcoming enhanced GT-R. Full details of the enhanced GT-R will be announced on 18th October 2010,"

From what we can see, the 2012 model year version of the Godzilla boasts a new front bumper with LED running lights, a revised rear diffuser and new alloy wheels.

According to documents leaked back in August, the changes are said to help drop the GT-R's drag coefficient from 0.272 to 0.268 while also improving rear downforce by 10%. The car is also expected to benefit from chassis and engine modifications.

We'll update this story as soon as Nissan comes out with all the juicy details.

You need to be an extreme racing enthusiast to park one of these into your garage. Tym Switzer’s 800hp Nissan P 800 GTR is one such variant that thrives on race-gas to clock those magical timings but you need to be prepared to strain the driveline a bit for such is the impact of the gas that powers the car.

The P in the name actually symbolizes the package as a daily use one meaning that it is an 800hp car that can be driven daily but then nothing can be done about people who prefer no limits. For that kind of a lot the R package has been used and this R refers to the race fuel. With this gas in the tank the numbers obviously sore to 850 hp and 820 lb-ft torque but the driveline loss is about 15%.

This latest R package will be priced at $20,990, and it includes pump gas and race fuel tunes, as well as Switzer’s updated cooling package that features a dual-core radiator, thermostat and revised Switzer MONSTER intercoolers.

Exagon Furtive-eGT electric sports car with 340 hp

So far, developed the company based in Magny-Cours Exagon electric race car. Now we'll do a road car with emissions-free drive. The latter provides a torque of 480 Newton meters between zero and 5,000 rpm. The sprint from zero to 100 km / h, the car created in 3.6 seconds, the 200 mark is reached after 14.6 seconds. A top speed of 287 km / h are given - on the race track, normally will be controlled at 250 mph.

The 4.50 meters long 2 +2 seater coupe has short overhangs, the design is cool and straightforward. A special feature is the double-bubble roof. To drive two provide very compact electric motors from Siemens. The liquid-cooled units provide 125 kilowatts each. Together, this results in an output of 340 hp, which is 5000-10000 rpm. Whether the motors driving one axis, so that a four-wheel drive results, is indicated. The electric machines are combined with a three-speed transmission that can be operated via shift paddles on the steering wheel. As an energy store lithium-ion batteries used by the manufacturer juice, which hold a capacity of 50 kilowatt hours at a voltage of 700 volts. In three and a half hours, they can be recharged to 20 percent charged to 80 percent. The batteries survive ten years or 3,000 charge cycles, so Exagon.
