Default Nissan announes prices for 2007 Versa and Maxima

- All-new Entry-level Nissan Versa Starts at an MSRP of $12,450 -







GARDENA, Calif. (June 23, 2006) - Nissan North America, Inc. today announced pricing on the all-new 2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback, which goes on sale June 23 at Nissan dealers nationwide. The starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the newest addition to the Nissan lineup is $12,450 for the Versa 1.8 S with a standard 122-horsepower 1.8-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed manual transmission.

Three other 2007 Versa Hatchback models are available: the Versa 1.8 S 4-speed automatic transmission (late availability), priced at $13,250; the Versa 1.8 SL 6-speed manual transmission, offered at $14,450; and the Versa 1.8 SL with Nissan’s advanced Xtronic CVT™ (Continuously Variable Transmission), which is priced at $15,450.

The five-passenger Versa represents a dynamic new alternative to current entry-level vehicles. Versa offers a unique combination of class-leading roominess, exceptional interior quality and upscale amenities designed to appeal to a wide range of buyers with a variety of lifestyle needs.

“The all-new 2007 Nissan Versa is a no-compromise subcompact that offers the quality, style, roominess, comfort, performance and amenities that are unexpected in this class and this price range,” said Brad Bradshaw, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division.

“The all-new Versa allows small car drivers to have it all in one attractive, affordable package without sacrificing roominess, comfort, style, performance, fuel efficiency or high quality,” said Brad Bradshaw, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. “Versa provides great value without compromise.”

Available packages for the 2007 Nissan Versa include the Power Package (1.8 S), Convenience Package (1.8 SL), Audio Package (1.8 SL), Sport Package (1.8 SL), Sunroof Package (1.8 SL), Satellite Radio (1.8 SL) and ABS Package (all models).

Personally, I think the Maxima is one of the best looking cars on the road today. I'm curious what the interior changes look like however as that was a big weak part of the car.

I too think Maxima is one of the best looking cars on road today. My only complaint for this car right now is that they had to switch from a 5 speed Automatic Transmision to a CVT. CVT gives me these drowzy affect on me.

Maxima yes, it definately has changed over the years, and not for the worse either. However that other car, doesnt seem that it belongs with the Nissan family....

The current-gen Maxima definitely has grown from a 2GS copycat to a more distinctively good-looking car.

Yeah - I checked it out over at Nissan's website earlier and thought the same thing. But then I built an SE ...

$35,000+ w/ nav ... ARE YOU KIDDING ME ????

There's a long list of vehicles I'd purchase before even considering the Maxima.

Cough - IS, A4, G35, TL, S60, 325i, CTS, Legacy GT ... hell - C230, Passat, Azera, Lucerne, Zephyr, 9-3 sedan, Kia Optima, Ford Fiesta, 5-day-old Chili Dog ...

Really? Well first off, as we know, these cars don't get what they sticker for. That $35K Maxima will be much closer to $30K after a bit. However, cough...
IS - how will you fit people in your back seat?
A4 - see IS comment
G35 - maybe, but you need to wait for the new one - and something tells me that new one will be closer to $40K
TL - great car -hard to argue
S60 - reliability, rear seat room and steering feel (or lack thereof) all come to mind here...
325i - maybe, but it won't have the features of the Maxima for $35K
CTS - RWD vs. FWD - different market segments if you ask me
Legacy GT - really? Great car, but sucks gas like my BMW and is very small inside

Thumbs up

With the Versa relatively late to the game, while it's a welcomed edition to the new breed of sub-compacts, the Yaris & Fit are taking the huge spotlight at the moment. Hopefully the Versa will be able to ride off of all the marketing Toyota & Honda have done. Frankly, if I had to choose between the Yaris, Fit and Versa... the Versa would be my last pick.

On the 2007 Maxima interior shots... I've driven a 1994 Maxima a couple times a few years ago. Holy smokes. I do have to admit though... I've generally liked how the Maxima looks on the outside, especially the recent generation.

Cheers,
Kermee
