2011 Nissan Versa

Rating applies to 2007-12 models

Tested vehicle: 2007 Nissan Versa 1.8 SL 4-door hatchback

The Nissan Versa was introduced in the 2007 model year. The frontal offset crash test ratings apply to both the hatchback and sedan versions of the car through the 2011 model year. Beginning with 2012 models, the sedan was redesigned but the hatchback was not. Therefore the frontal offset ratings detailed below do not apply to the 2012 model sedan.

The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained well.

A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag.

Tested vehicle: 2011 Nissan Versa SL 4-door hatchback with standard front and rear head curtain airbags and standard front seat-mounted torso airbags

The Nissan Versa was introduced in the 2007 model year. Beginning with 2011 models, Nissan made design changes to the side curtain airbags. Side ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Nissan. However, because there were no significant side structural changes, the structure rating of the current model is based on both Nissan's test and an earlier Institute test of a 2007 model.

Note: The side ratings detailed below apply to both the hatchback and sedan versions of the car in the 2011 model year. Beginning with 2012 models, the sedan was redesigned but the hatchback was not. Therefore these ratings do not apply to the 2012 model sedan.
