The Nissan Versa hatchback and sedan were completely new for 2007; for 2009, the model lineup expands with the introduction of a new 1.6-liter model. While last year’s entry model started just short of $13,000, the new Base 1.6-liter model starts at just $9,990, making it one of the cheapest vehicles in the U.S. market.
