2012 Nissan Versa 1.8 SL at Rolling Hills Nissan

The Nissan Versa keeps getting better each year. Available now at Rolling Hills Nissan, this popular sub-compact is poised to set the tone in its category this year. As its name hints, the Versa has outstanding versatility; it achieves a strong balance between affordability, efficiency and practical capability. Here is all that you need to know about the 2012 Nissan Versa 1.8 SL.

The Versa is offered in a number of trims. The 1.6 S, 1.6 SV, 1.6 SL, 1.8 S and 1.8 SL provide a variety of options that cover the gamut in terms of driver needs. The 1.8 SL hatchback is particularly dynamic, offering the right amount of cargo space and performance for an active lifestyle. Its 4-cylinder continuously variable transmission is super-efficient (EPA-estimated 28 mpg city / 34 highway) and sufficiently powerful (122 horsepower). The front-wheel drive Versa’s surprisingly responsive acceleration is refreshing in a category typically characterized by sloth-like performance.

Performance is important when you’re transporting people and cargo, duties intrinsic to a busy lifestyle. The hatchback truly does make a difference, giving you that extra space to stow your things. Cargo capacity, with all seats, is an impressive 17.8 cu.ft (maximum cargo capacity is 50.4 cu.ft). The split-folding rear seatback and storage center armrest give you those extra nooks for the stuff that just won’t fit anywhere else.

Not only does the Versa look and act hip, it feels hip too. The roomy interior includes all of the key features that the modern driver has come to expect. With steering wheel mounted controls, the driver can adjust audio and cruise control settings without taking his eyes off the road. As an added safety feature, volume control is speed sensitive, meaning CDs and auxiliary audio (including iPod integration) won’t ever distract you from getting to your destination safely. To find your way, the SL Navigation Package includes a 5-inch interactive touch screen that’s easy to use and properly placed.

While enjoying vehicular creature comforts, the modern driver expects to be safe, too – at all times. Nissan prides itself on producing one of the safest lines of vehicles on the market today. Here are some of the key safety features of the Versa:
