2008 Nissan Versa Press Kit: At a Glance
The 2008 Nissan Versa represents a dynamic alternative to current entry-level hatchbacks and sedans. Built on Nissan’s proven B-platform, the stylish Versa offers a spacious cabin with best-in-class head and rear leg room, a high quality interior and a comfortable, stress-free environment. Every 2008 Versa is powered by a standard 122-horsepower 1.8-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine and a choice of three transmissions, including Nissan’s advanced Xtronic CVT™ (Continuously Variable Transmission) that provides smooth shifting and enhanced fuel efficiency.
