In the USA, the last car with a 5-speed “mechanics” was removed from the sale

Nissan stopped the production of Versa sedans with a basic transmission. Now the “state employee” is offered only with the variator, and this is a historical moment: there are no new cars left in the USA with a 5-speed “mechanics”! The once popular gearbox gave way to “six -steam” and machine guns in all niches. The cheapest car went up by 10% to 20.1 thousand dollars.

According to statistics, less than five percent of the Nissan Versa American buyers chose “mechanics”, therefore, from an economic point of view, the rate on the variator is explained. With a manual gearbox, only the basic version for $ 18,330 was available, but buyers preferred to overpay for “senior” configurations. Now the cheapest car in the United States costs from $ 20,130.

Basic configurations: what Cadillac auto giants are silent about, the American special services will manage to manage the “mechanics” Porsche was surprised by the demand for new 911 with “mechanics”

The representative of Nissan confirmed the resignation of the three -poped Versa: only modifications with the variator are collected at the factory in Mexico. However, the completion of sales of a budget family as a whole is not yet about, because the sale of inexpensive cars in the United States on the rise. Although the average American is not ready to ride the “pen”, among the fans of the “mechanics” sports machines is very in demand: in some segments on the other side of the ocean there are three pedals more popular than two!

In Europe, there is no question of resigning a 5-speed “mechanics”: even new Audi are sold with this type of transmission. In Russia, the Pyatokatka remains very popular thanks to AvtoVAZ, but our trend for more modern transmission is obvious: for example, Lada ISKRA will be equipped with Chinese gearboxes in the bulk.
