The Nissan Cube 2010
The 2010 Nissan Versa Hatchback is a deceptive little vehicle. Deceptive because it’s not that little! From the outside, it appears to be quite compact, but from the inside it’s a whole new ball game. With enough head and legroom to seat five adults comfortably, best in-class horsepower and torque, and 504L (17.8 cu ft) of luggage space it’s no wonder these hatchbacks can be seen zipping all around town.
Introduced to North America in 2006 as a 2007 model, the Versa comes in both sedan and hatchback configurations. The Versa sedan features a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine that produces 107 horsepower and 111 lb-ft of torque, whereas the hatchback gets a larger 1.8L 4-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC enhanced engine that produces 122 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. It’s interesting to note that the hatchback comes with the higher output of the two and the highest in its class, which sets it apart from its competition like the Honda Fit, the Toyota Yaris and Chevrolet Aveo.
Going back to the outside, the Versa is quite pleasing to look at. And with an exterior colour like Matador Red, it’s hard not to notice it. Its front and rear fascia differ from its sedan sibling due to the addition of the Sport Package ($1,900) in SL trim; making it noticeably sportier looking. From the rear end, the “SL” badge indicates that the Versa comes well equipped with such features as cruise control, 4-wheel ABS-enhanced disc brakes, traction control, and P185/65R15 all-season tires on 15” aluminum-alloy wheels.
