2012 Nissan Versa Sedan IIHS Ratings

Arlington Virginia, March 8, 2012; The Nissan Versa, a minicar redesigned for 2012, earns the Institute's top award for good performance in front, side, rollover, and rear impact evaluations. The Versa also has electronic stability control, an important crash avoidance feature that is now required by federal regulation.

This is the first time the Versa has earned Top Safety Pick. The redesigned model improves on the 2011 Versa's acceptable ratings for side impact and rollover protection.

Top Safety Pick only applies to the 4-door sedan. The hatchback version has not been redesigned.
