The main competitive advantage of the new Nissan Tiida hatchback is the large cabin length. This has also become the main advantage of the European twin Pulsar, which has long since entered the Western market. Between the backs of the first and second rows - 692 mm, much more than other C-class hatchbacks. And even in some cars of class "D" it is more cramped.
The secret is in the size of the wheelbase. Its size is 2700 mm, like that of the Nissan Almera sedan, whose spacious interior we admired three years ago, when its production started in Tolyatti. Of the competitors, only Mazda 3 has such a distance between the axles, but it has a lower roof, especially at the rear.
Another secret of the spaciousness of the cabin is the small size of the luggage compartment, under the floor of which lies a full-size spare wheel. But in the back seat of the Tiida, a person of average height can calmly sit cross-legged and even drive for a long time: the novelty has a smooth ride that is not typical for a C-class hatchback.
Of course, the point here is not only the large wheelbase, but also the suspension settings: it works perfectly, allowing you not to be afraid of even large bumps, which are full on Georgian roads. Sometimes it helps a lot ground clearance- 155 mm, like the Sentra single-platform sedan, and 20 mm more than the Pulsar. And, of course, our hatchback does not have a “skirt” under the front bumper, which is so easily and insultingly torn off both in Russian and Georgian “directions”.
"Tiida" differs from "Pulsar" not only in increased ground clearance and the missing "skirt", but also rims, mirror housings and increased depth of door handle recesses. In the rest - the same species, with characteristic for new Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail V-shaped radiator grille, contours rear window and optics. It is interesting that outwardly Tiida is much closer to crossovers than to the same Sentra sedan, although inside, especially in the front of the cabin, they are almost identical.
The quality of finishing materials is at the average level, all buttons are quickly located, there are no questions. The only "but" - inserts, painted aluminum. In my opinion, they are as vulgar as the carbon-look styling in cars that have nothing to do with motorsport. However, this is a matter of taste. And the obvious drawback is the front seats, standing too high, with soft material inside and shortish pillows.
The Tiida has only one engine, the same as the Sentra, a 1.6 petrol that develops 117 hp. and 158 Nm, combined with either a CVT or a 5-speed "mechanics". Already from these introductory notes, it is clear that the car is unlikely to impress with accelerations driving into the backs of the seats. And so it happens: when you press the accelerator pedal, the tachometer needle does not take off, but goes to the 4000 rpm mark. To cheer up the car and get acceptable acceleration, you have to use the CVT sport mode, then the engine spins up faster. And when climbing steep hills, which are enough both in Tbilisi and its environs, I use the L mode, limiting the gear ratio.
On the second day I take the car from mechanical box gears. The ride becomes more fun, but the dynamics are not impressive. And the switching mechanism does not shine with clarity - with a long-stroke clutch pedal, it’s better to forget about a quick change, especially if you don’t want to listen to the crunch of synchronizers.
But both versions, both with "mechanics" and with a variator, please with efficiency. According to the manufacturer's data - 6.4 liters per 100 kilometers in mixed mode, while the real consumption on Georgian roads is about 7 liters. And one more advantage of the car is the silence in the cabin, which is also unusual for a compact-class hatchback. It can be seen (that is, heard) that the designers of "Tiida" did a good job of soundproofing. Although the acoustic comfort was quite high in the previous generation.
The steering settings (the steering wheel is “long”) also make sure that the developers imagined a calm driver behind the wheel, and not a “driver”, which somewhat does not correspond to the portrait “painted” by Nissan’s Russian marketers - an active city dweller or city dweller 30-45 years old. Although, of course, it is clear that they needed to “divorce” the Tiida audience from potential Sentra buyers, who should be practical and respectable people from 35 to 55 years old, mostly men with families.
What they guessed with was the name of the test drive - "Territory of Comfort". And this is not about Georgia, but about the car itself. It’s really comfortable to ride in it, and you don’t even want to rush anywhere - which is incomprehensible to the local population, flying through solid roads even on rusty Zhiguli and Volga, despite the declared severity of the local police. Show-offs are more valuable than money…
The only thing that does not cause a feeling of comfort in Tiida is the price. This car costs from 839,000 rubles. in the “bare” Welcome package, and the price tag of the Tekna version, as on our test drive, exceeds the psychological barrier of a million rubles.
Outcome
Ilya Pimenov, editor:Of course, each fruit has its own vegetable, and Nissan Tiida is able to become the only and indispensable for that very calm head of the family of 35–55 years old, who is no longer chasing anyone or anything. Unless, of course, he is satisfied with the price, by no means the lowest for this class. The same couple of Korean models, Hyundai i30 and Kia cee "d, are cheaper than the "Japanese" in most trim levels - although they are not so spacious inside.
- Sedan.
- Five-door hatchback.
tiida quite original car. Headlights, a radiator grille, a hood that seems to flow down from the A-pillars, as well as a catchy angle of inclination and the shape of the fifth door. It all looks very nice and in addition, this design of the tailgate facilitates access to the rear seat.
Appearance Nissan Tiida Hatchback
Outwardly, the machine looks very compact and at the first moment you start to wonder where is all this promised space, declared by the manufacturer. The high roofline makes it clear that there is much more space inside than it might seem from the outside. From the Nissan Tiida Hatchback may not seem very attractive, but it is smoothed out by other qualities, such as functionality and spaciousness. A car that looks like a compact van actually falls into the hatchback category. The car is not very suitable for the role cool car for which queues line up. This is not a fashion car, it has a pronounced focus on functionality.

All of these manipulations do not require additional forces and skills. Often a situation arises when tall and massive passengers, sitting in the back, rest their knees on the front seats.

Of the additional amenities, there is only a reclining armrest with two cup holders. You will not find a cigarette lighter and ashtrays at the back.

Trunk compartment Nissan Tiida
Nissan Tiida hatchback was designed with conservative buyers in mind, so opening a massive back door, we expect 467 liters of trunk volume, which by the way has a very high height. Almost any suitcase can be placed in an upright position without any problems. Under the raised floor is a full-size spare wheel, as well as compartments for a jack and additional tools. There is a light in the trunk.
Nissan Tiida exterior review - car trunk
The Nissan Tiida is produced at Nissan's Japanese plant in North America. This car has a half-brother focused on the European market - this is Nissan Note. They even have the same wheelbase size, although this car is 20-odd centimeters longer. The increased interior space increases the center of gravity and a rather weak motor should not have the best effect on the behavior of the car. But you will not notice any restrictions, at least without special equipment. On city streets, the car shows itself very positively. Feel the habits passenger car, without any hint of imposingness or insufficient traction.
Nissan Tiida hatchback engine
Engine power 110 Horse power confidently drives a car with low speed and quickly puts the needle to the limiter, which is activated at about 6700 rpm. In general, the engine's capabilities are enough with any gearbox option, including automatic.
If, when driving on a mountain road, you want to always have a tangible margin under the gas pedal, then you can turn off the highest gear (in American Overdrive Off) by pressing a button. The car has good directional stability on a high-speed straight. Timely reactions to steering and confident behavior in corners. At the entrance, you can feel the lack of steering, but as soon as the kinematics of the rear suspension is activated, the nissan tiida clearly finds the desired trajectory of movement.

Handling Nissan Tiida Hatchback
There are no complaints about driving comfort. Management does not require absolutely no getting used to. The steering wheel moves easily, the car responds well to the actions of the driver. The same situation with the reaction to the brake and gas pedal. Excellent visibility from the cabin leaves virtually no dead zones. Good sound insulation for a golf class car, which fails only after 4000 rpm and the engine becomes a little audible in the cabin, but when moderate driving in the cabin does not hear any engine noise or road noise.
Nissan engineers were able to find a solid middle ground between energy efficiency and suspension comfort, so Nissan Tiida has good running smoothness. The front suspension is independent spring, and rear suspension- semi-independent spring. The suspension works out all the bumps very well, without creating discomfort for the driver and passengers. The front wheels are equipped with ventilated disc brakes, and rear wheels just disc brakes. The wheels themselves are 15 inch. alloy wheels and tires measuring 185 by 65 mm.

Automobile Nissan Golf Class The Tiida debuted in Japan in 2004 as a hatchback and sedan (it was called the Tiida Latio). The machine was built on common platform with the first generation Note model, thanks to the large wheelbase and high body, the Tiida had a spacious interior with a sliding rear sofa.
In the Japanese market, the car was offered with a 1.5 engine (109 hp), which was equipped with a four-speed automatic or CVT, as well as a 1.8-liter engine (128 hp) paired with a “mechanics” or CVT. A less powerful modification of the "Tiida" could also be all-wheel drive.
Nissan Tiida was also sold in other countries of Asia (cars were produced in Japan, Thailand, China), Africa, South America, and in the North American market the car was known as Nissan Versa.
In 2007, the model began to be delivered to some European countries and to Russia, these were Mexican-assembled cars. We offered sedans and hatchbacks with 1.6 (110 hp) and 1.8 (126 hp) engines, paired with a 1.6-liter engine for a surcharge, you could order automatic box gears. For European markets, a version equipped with a 1.5-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 105 hp was also prepared. With.
The release of the Nissan Tiida in Japan ended in 2012, at Russian market the car lasted until the summer of 2014 (in eight years we sold 92 thousand cars). The car is still for sale in Mexico.

2nd generation (C12), 2011
The second generation of the Nissan Tiida hatchback debuted in 2011 in the Chinese market. The car, created on a common platform with the Sentra sedan, was also sold under the Pulsar name in other countries in Asia, Australia and Europe, but European version featured a redesigned design.
In early 2015, the production of Nissan Tiida hatchbacks for the Russian market began at a plant in Izhevsk. This car looked like the European Pulsar, but differed in the suspension design: in order to increase ground clearance, the version for Russia was transferred from the Nissan V platform to the older Nissan B platform. The car also received a different interior design - it was borrowed from a sedan already produced in Izhevsk Sentra.
Nissan Tiida for the Russian market was equipped with gasoline engine volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 126 liters. With. in combination with a five-speed manual transmission or CVT. Prices started at 839,000 rubles, but for this amount, buyers received a car in a modest Welcome package, which includes only two airbags, a stabilization system and power windows.
Demand for hatchbacks turned out to be extremely low, and already in August 2015, the production of Tiida in Russia ceased, and dealers sold the produced cars for several months at a discount of 200 thousand rubles. In total, 3428 copies of the model were made in Izhevsk.
Currently, Nissan Tiida hatchbacks are produced in China and sold in the local market.
The first generation Nissan Tiida hatchback debuted in 2004 in Japan ... and it reached Europe and Russia only in 2007.
In 2010, the car went through a planned update, which slightly affected the exterior, interior and degree of equipment.
At home, the five-door was produced until 2012, but on the Russian market it lasted until the summer of 2014.
In design appearance The Nissan Tiida hatchback clearly traces the traditions inherent in many Japanese cars. Characteristic elements of the front are slanted head optics, a strict radiator grille and a rather embossed bumper.
The silhouette of the Japanese "golf" hatchback is devoid of any hint of swiftness or dynamism, and the profile of the car is distinguished only by a large glass area and a high roof. The stern of the Tiida is crowned with compact lanterns and a small tailgate.
The five-door Nissan Tiida does not stand out in anything special from the general stream, although its appearance can be called calm and harmonious, aimed at those people for whom "content is more important than wrapping." In terms of size, the hatchback is a typical representative of the C-class. With a length of 4295 mm, its width and height are respectively 1695 mm and 1535 mm. The wheelbase of the "Japanese" is 2600 mm, and the ground clearance is 165 mm. Depending on the modification, the curb weight of the vehicle varies from 1193 to 1232 kg.
The interior of the Nissan Tiida has a simple and strict design, it is dominated by regular geometric shapes and lacks any design frills.
The almost rectangular center console is ergonomically designed. All controls are located in logical places, the number of buttons and keys is minimized. The devices are enclosed in three "wells", they are not deprived of information, and they are read well.
The interior space of "Tiida" is finished with sufficiently high-quality, but inexpensive finishing materials. The front panel is made mainly of hard plastics, in budget options fabric upholstery is used, and in expensive versions - artificial leather in beige or black. Everything is assembled at a high level - the panels are tightly fitted to each other, the stitching is even everywhere, there are no “crickets” when moving.
The feature of the Nissan Tiida is the organization of the cabin - the car was designed to make it as spacious as possible. The wide front seats are friendly for people of all sizes, and there is enough space in all directions, but there is clearly not enough lateral support. The rear sofa can easily accommodate three adults, while the seat has longitudinal adjustments of a decent 240 mm, so you can change the interior and trunk capacity depending on your needs.
The volume of the luggage compartment of the Nissan Tiida hatchback varies from 272 to 463 liters. The rear seat backrest folds in a 60:40 ratio, which makes it possible to increase free space up to 645 liters and carry luggage up to 2400 mm long. Although the shape of the compartment cannot be called convenient - the wheel arches protrude too much inward, eating up a good share of its volume.
Specifications. In the Russian market, the five-door Nissan Tiida was offered with two naturally aspirated gasoline engines.
The first is a four-cylinder 1.6-liter HR16D unit with an in-line layout of cylinders and a 16-valve intake / exhaust system. It produces 110 horsepower and 153 Nm of maximum torque available at 4400 rpm. A 5-speed “mechanics” or a four-speed torque converter “automatic” rely on it in tandem. The dynamic characteristics of the 110-horsepower "Tiida" are at a very decent level - up to 100 km / h the car accelerates in 11.1 seconds (with automatic transmission - in 12.6 seconds), and the peak speed is set at around 186 km / h (170 km / h). Fuel consumption is not high - with the "mechanics" the hatchback consumes an average of 6.9 liters of gasoline, and with the "automatic" - 7.4 liters.
The second is a 1.8-liter "four" MR18DE, arranged on the same principle as a less powerful engine. Its maximum return is set at around 126 "horses" and 173 Nm of thrust (at 4800 rpm). A non-alternative 6-speed manual transmission was available for him. Starting acceleration to the first hundred in such a "Tiida" takes 10.4 seconds, and the possibilities are limited at around 195 km / h. At the same time, the MR18DE does not differ in voracity - 7.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.
The "first" Nissan Tiida is based on the Renault-Nissan alliance's global "bogie", which also powered the Renault Modus and nissan note. The design of the suspension cannot be called special: in front it is independent with MacPherson struts, and in the back it is semi-independent with a torsion beam.
Options and prices. In 2015 in Russian Nissan Tiida is no longer for sale, but secondary market"fresh" hatchback good condition can be found at a price of 520,000 to 690,000 rubles, depending on the level of equipment.
The car can be found in three trim levels: Comfort, Elegance and Tekna. The initial version of the "Tiida" is equipped with air conditioning, front and side airbags, power windows "in a circle", ABS, standard audio system, fabric interior and heated front seats.
