Country music star Kane Brown had a stunning party crasher during his performance at the Rock the Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale today — the 2020 Nissan Versa.

“First impressions are exceptionally important, which is why we are thrilled to introduce the all-new 2020 Versa directly to our customers in such a memorable way,” said Claudia Marquez, vice president of sales operations, Nissan North America, Inc. “The Versa is our first impression into the Nissan family. I believe that when customers see this beautiful new car and all the amazing technology that comes with it for the price, they will be part of the Nissan family for life.”

The 2020 Versa’s redesigned silhouette is longer and sits wider and lower to the ground while signature Nissan design elements like the V-motion grille, floating roof, and boomerang-shaped headlamps create a stunning look for the subcompact car.

“Just as the new Versa democratizes the availability of advanced Nissan Intelligent safety features across the sedan lineup, we’ve done the same with design details construction such as the use of daring and bold body surface treatments that are usually found on vehicles one level up,” said Giovanny Arroba, program design director, Nissan Global Design Center, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. “The new Versa design is more tailored and matured than you’d expect to find in an entry-level vehicle.”

The 2020 Versa doesn’t just sport a new, refined design, though, it boasts innovative tech, including the Nissan Safety Shield 360, which encompasses an extensive suite of driver assist technologies. Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, High Beam Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Automatic Braking are all standard on the high-tech model. Drivers wanting even more advanced assistance can opt for the available systems of Intelligent Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Intelligent Driver Alertness, and Blind Spot Warning.

The 2020 Versa is equipped with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired to either an Xtronic or five-speed manual transmission to generate 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. The all-new, redesigned subcompact car will hit the market this summer.
