Though the Nissan Versa was introduced in 2006, it's already starting to get a bit old, especially with fresh new competition like the 2009 Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris five-door. However, a Japanese magazine known as Best Car has come up with a very simple rendering of what the next-generation Versa (in sedan form) could look like. As it stands right now, the Versa is slightly larger than most of its competitors, and this next-generation model could be a worthy competitor for the upcoming 2011 Ford Fiesta.
The new Versa should be arriving sometime in 2010 as a 2011 model and will be built on the Renault Megane's platform. Engine choices should remain the same, though there's no official word if both hatchback and sedan versions will be sold. In any case, there's definitely a lot to like about this rendering. We can see many Renault-inspired cues in the front fascia with a sleeker roofline and more shapely rear end out at the back.
