The Canada-only Nissan Micra in April, with Nissan hoping to pick up overall market share in The Great White North. But Automotive News reports that one casualty of the Micra's introduction will be the Versa Sedan – hardly a surprise when both compete at the absolute low end of the market.
While the Versa Note will still be sold in Canada, the Sedan will be dropped according to Nissan Canada spokesman Didier Marsaud. Citing Nissan's three subcompact entries, Marsaud told TTAC
"The Nissan Micra has been extensively tailored for Canadians and specifically to complement the Versa Note in Nissan Canada's product lineup. We decided that it is best to focus Nissan Canada and our Dealers' attention on Versa Note and Micra. As a result, we made the decision to discontinue selling Versa Sedan in Canada after the 14 Model Year."
Removing the Versa sedan also gives the Sentra some breathing room, with the Sentra outselling the entire Versa lineup by a couple thousand units in 2013.
