Nissan Tiida (China)
Interior (Chinese manufactured)
The second generation, C12 series of the Nissan Tiida was unveiled in April 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. Sales in China commenced in June 2011. It is available only as a five-door hatchback, and is notably not sold in Japan. The C11 Tiida sedan was instead replaced by the Nissan Latio (N17) and Nissan Sylphy (B17). The C12 Tiida is in fact heavily related to the Sylphy B17—both base their construction on the Nissan V platform and share substantial mechanicals. The Thai manufactured versions even share the Sylphy B17's interior; the original Chinese and Taiwanese models feature a distinctive design. Powertrains also remain common between C12 and B17 models.
Instead of being sized and marketed as both a subcompact or a compact car depending on the country, the new, noticeably larger Tiida will be marketed as a C-segment worldwide as the March/Micra and Latio will take the place of the B-segment markets.
It is available with the 188 hp turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine, with gasoline direct injection paired with a continuously variable transmission. Other engines will be announced closer to the release date.
Marketing
- Asia
In Thailand, the Tiida hatchback is called the Nissan Pulsar, which went on sale by February 2013. The Tiida hatchback comes with MRA8DE, which it shares with the Nissan Sylphy. In Taiwan, the Tiida hatchback is known as Big Tiida and went on sale in January 2013.
- Australia
In Australia, the Tiida name has been dropped in favour of a return to using Nissan Pulsar, which was a very popular nameplate up to 2005.
The SSS high performance version with 1.6-litre turbocharged arrived in late 2013. It is aimed at the "warm" hatch market which is a category placed between standard and hot hatches. It features a 140 kilowatt turbocharged MR16DDT engine found in the Nissan Pulsar ST-S variant. It is also found in the Nissan Juke ST-S and TI-S. The engine is connected to either a close ratio 6 speed manual gearbox or 6 speed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) automatic. Premium features include push start ignition, keyless entry, dusk sensing headlights, dual climate control and satellite navigation.
- Middle East
In the Middle East it is available with a 1.6 or 1.8-litre engine.
