en.Wedoany.com Reported - On the 15th anniversary of its entry into the Mexican market, the Nissan Versa has surpassed 1 million cumulative sales, becoming the best-selling sedan model in Mexico. Since its launch in 2011, this model has been one of the production pillars of Nissan Mexicana.
The production of the Versa is closely tied to Mexico's automotive manufacturing industry. Currently, the model is built at the Aguascalientes A1 plant, which is part of Nissan's global production strategy and has assembled over 8 million vehicles cumulatively. To commemorate this milestone, the company shared the stories of two generations of employees involved in the model's production. Jesús Silva and his son Félix Silva both work at the company's Aguascalientes operations. Jesús Silva joined Nissan in 1994 and has worked in various manufacturing areas, including the early development of the Versa before its launch in Japan. He believed the car would be a success at the time but never imagined it would also become part of his own family history. Influenced by his father, his son Félix Silva chose a career path related to this model and is currently involved in the quality assurance process. Félix Silva stated that understanding every process and detail has deepened his awareness of the responsibility to ensure the quality of cars delivered to thousands of users.
The production of the new 2026 Versa further strengthens Mexico's position in Nissan's global strategy. The Aguascalientes A1 plant employs over 4,800 workers and is supported by a network of 104 Mexican suppliers involved in the model's supply chain. Beyond its industrial importance, the Versa maintains a leading position in the subcompact sedan segment by introducing driver assistance technologies and safety features. Available systems include Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning and Intervention, Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, Cruise Control, and Lane Keep Assist, depending on the trim level. The model is powered by a 1.6-liter engine paired with a CVT transmission and features improvements in sound insulation, wireless connectivity, and interior comfort. For over a decade, the Nissan Versa has been part of the development of Mexico's automotive industry, becoming one of the country's most produced and best-selling models.
