It looks like Nissan is killing both the Altima and the Versa

When requested a comment, a representative for Nissan told Automotive News that cars “remain an integral part of the company’s product approach, offering advantages throughout a number of qualities, consisting of price of possession,” and that “Nissan is devoted to providing a full lineup of cars that satisfy the requirements of our clients throughout a range of segments.”

Currently, this isn’t the very first time we’ve heard comparable rumors. In 2015 we listened to precisely the same thing, and while Nissan didn’t straight-out reject the report, an agent did mention that the Altima had simply been rejuvenated for 2022, stating, “As we speed up towards realizing Nissan’s Ambition 2030 vision we have numerous amazing plans in development, but we do not have anything to share right now.”

If Automotive News is remaining to listen to the very same rumor that the Versa and Altima are on their way out, we’re much more inclined to think it’s really happening. We won’t really miss out on the Altima, yet at the exact same time, it’s unfortunate to listen to that yet another below-$ 20,000 auto is about to recede, especially given that Nissan supposedly has no plans to replace the Versa and still can’t choose whether to revive the Altima.

While Versa sales were up substantially with the very first half of the year, Altima sales are down around 5 percent, coming in at just under 60,000 cars marketed. The Versa, on the other hand, does not have as much straight competitors however it has defeated the Mitsubishi Mirage this year with a total of 17,812 vehicles marketed versus 9,862.

The Nissan Versa isn’t always the best automobile you can get, yet it is an auto, and with a base rate of $16,680 it’s the least-expensive brand-new automobile that you can get in the United States. It’s additionally seen a massive rise in sales through the first fifty percent of this year, selling 61 percent greater than it performed in the very first half of 2023. And yet, that possibly will not be enough to keep it off the chopping block, as Automotive News reports both the Versa and the Altima are set to be exterminated after the 2025 and 2026 model years, respectively. The Sentra, however, will supposedly survive on.
