With Nissan releasing the 2020 Versa sedan today at the "Rock the Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival" in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the automaker has also announced changes to the Versa line-up – specifically, Nissan will discontinue production of the Versa Note compact hatchback at the end of the 2019 model year.
Nissan hasn’t provided an official reason for ceasing the Versa Note; however, a recent article by AutoBlog shows that the Versa's sales dropped 29 percent last year, selling only 75,809 models. Since the automaker doesn’t segment sales by variant, it’s hard to know where the Versa Note falls within those numbers. But, with the launch of the new Versa sedan, there is great hope that the nameplate will rebound back to its former sales glory by focusing on the singular platform.
In the meantime, consumers wanting to get into a new Versa Note will have to act quick – there are reportedly only 300 units available across the country. At Kirkland Nissan, we do have preowned models in our used inventory, which are available for test driving today.
