Yes, don't be shocked! US can have Asian Spec low-powered cars too! The refreshed, new Nissan Sunny, that was launched first in China a few months back and now it will soon be launched in India in early 2012.The road tests are already on. First it was Ford Fiesta that made its way too US, now this less powered Nissan Sunny too is soon to be there. Well its not less powered actually, but the US vehicles are very highly powereful than ours.
In US, the Sunny will be re-badged as Verna and will be powered by the same Asian spec 1.6L four-cylinder engine that features twin continuously vairable timing control, or CVTC. The power comes out to a fairly dismal 109 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 107 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. Nissan will be providing 5-speed manual tansmission on 1.6S variant and X-Tronic CVT on all other variants.
Nissan equipped the 2012 Versa Sedan with a slew of features, including Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) which includes dual-stage front supplemental air bags and front seat side-impact supplemental air bags for chest protection, seat-mounted driver and front passenger side-impact supplemental air bags, and roof-mounted curtain side-impact air bags for front and rear outboard occupant head protection.Also, other safety features like, standard LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system, child safety rear door locks, child seat upper tether anchors and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS) are included.
People's response on various American automobile websites aren't really positive. Someone has commented on a website, "This new Versa looks like a Chinese design from a couple years ago. It’s kinda embarrassing.", Another comment was, "
Wow. That interior side view looks like a 98 corolla."!
Just imagine we accept this kind of cars very happily, because we haven't seen features and specs beyond them anytime here!
