With Nissan giving the Versa Note updates for the
2018 and 2018.5 model years, no one expected the 2019 car to bring massive
improvements. And it doesn’t: the only update is the addition of the optional
NissanConnect featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus SiriusXM Satellite
Radio to the SV and SR trim levels.
The pricing for the 2019 Versa Note sees
minor increases across the lineup. The entry-level Versa Note 1.6 S Xtronic now
starts US$ 50 higher at US$ 15,650, while the mid-range SV grade also adds US$ 50 for a
grand total of US$ 16,550. Finally, the top-of-the-line SR model starts at US$ 18,360, which is US$ 260 more than the equivalent 2018.5 model. All prices
exclude an US$ 895 destination and handling fee.
The 2018.5 model year update brought
a standard RearView Monitor and 7.0-inch color audio system touchscreen
display. The 2019 Versa Note carries on with the same 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve
four-cylinder that delivers 109 hp and 144 Nm of torque.
Combined with the Xtronic CVT transmission, the naturally aspirated unit helps
the Versa Note return an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 31 mpg city / 39
mpg highway / 34 mpg combined.
The continuously variable transmission features
D-step Logic Control, a system that simulates shifts for “a natural
acceleration feeling without holding a high rpm constant,” according to Nissan.
The 2019 Versa Note is already on sale at Nissan
dealerships across the United States.
