What engine does the Versa Note use?
A single 1.6-litre HR16DE four-cylinder with about 109 hp, driving the front wheels.
Which years are available used?
The US Versa Note ran from 2014 to 2019, so used cars fall in that range.
Is the CVT a problem?
It can be if neglected. We test it hot and cold and check fluid service history before recommending a car.
Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
How is import VAT treated when importing a Nissan Versa Note?
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Is it worth importing such a cheap car?
It can be for a practical, low-cost runabout, provided you pick a clean, well-maintained example — selection is everything at this price.
Will it pass German TÜV?
Yes, after minor lighting work and an individual approval. It is a simple petrol hatchback.
Does USCar Trader mark up the price?
No. We are an independent broker charging a transparent service fee, not a vehicle margin.
