The Nissan Versa was introduced in the United States and Canada in July 2006 as a 2007 model. The hatchback model was introduced first, with the sedan arriving later at the end of the year, both as 2007 models. The Nissan Versa has keyless entry remote fob smart keys that are onboard programmable, meaning a person can program the keyless entry remote fob smart key with no special equipment other than the keyless entry remote fob smart key programming instructions.
