Last Note for Nissan Hatchback in U.S.

Nissan Motor Co. confirms reports that it will discontinue the Versa Note hatchback in North America this year.

The carmaker has only about 300 of the 2019-model hatchbacks left and will not offer a 2020 model, reports CarsDirect. Sales in other markets, where the car is known simply as the Versa, are expected to continue.

Combined demand for the Versa Note and Versa sedan plunged nearly 29% last year in the U.S. Buyers have shifted to Nissan’s crossover vehicles, such as the Rogue, Rogue Sport and all-new Kicks, which offer comparable fuel economy and greater utility, CarsDirect notes.
