New York Live - 2015 Nissan Versa (Nissan Sunny facelift)

Nissan has unveiled the 2015 Nissan Versa (facelift) at the ongoing New York Auto Show. Indian readers will be aware that the Nissan Versa in the USA is the same as the Nissan Sunny in India.

The changes to the 2015 Nissan Versa are also pretty much similar to that of the Nissan Sunny facelift shown at the Auto Expo 2014. Up front, the sedan gets larger headlamps and chrome border on the grille and foglamps. There are also some variant level changes like an ORVM integrated with indicators for the top SL and 15-inch alloy wheels for the SV.

Importantly for the US market, the Versa gets a 1.6-liter HR16DE 4-cylinder engine rated at 109 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. The 1.6-liter engine is matched with a choice of three transmissions – a 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic (S models only), or a next-generation Xtronic CVT gearbox with D-mode step shift programming.

USA gets the 2015 Nissan Versa Sedan in four variants – Versa Sedan S (offered in 5MT and 4AT versions), Versa Sedan S Plus (Xtronic only), Versa Sedan SV (Xtronic only) and Versa Sedan SL (Xtronic only).
