The first generation Nissan Tiida hatchback debuted in 2004 in Japan ... and it only reached Europe and Russia in 2007.
In 2010, the car went through a planned update, slightly affecting the exterior, interior and equipment.
At home, the five-door was produced until 2012, but on the Russian market it lasted until the summer of 2014.
The design of the appearance of the Nissan Tiida hatchback clearly traces the traditions inherent in many Japanese cars. The characteristic elements of the front end are the slanting head optics, a strict radiator grille and a fairly embossed bumper.
The silhouette of the Japanese "golf" hatchback is devoid of any hint of swiftness or dynamism, and the car's profile is distinguished only by a large glass area and a high roof. The Tiida's stern 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 "the content is more important than the wrapper." 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 Nissan Tiida has a simple and austere design, regular geometric shapes prevail in it and there are no design refinements.
The nearly rectangular center console is ergonomic. 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 content, and they read well.
The interior space of "Tiida" is finished with high-quality, but inexpensive finishing materials. The front panel is made mainly of hard plastics, in budget versions, fabric upholstery is used, and in expensive versions - beige or black artificial leather. Everything is assembled at a high level - the panels are tightly fitted to each other, the stitches are even everywhere, there are no "crickets" when moving.
The trick of the Nissan Tiida is the organization of the interior - the car was designed to make it the most spacious. 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 capacity of the cabin and trunk depending on your needs.
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 the free space to 645 liters and carry luggage up to 2400 mm in length. 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 gasoline naturally aspirated engines.
The first is a four-cylinder 1.6-liter HR16D unit with an in-line arrangement of cylinders and a 16-valve intake / exhaust system. It produces 110 horsepower and 153 Nm of maximum torque available at 4400 rpm. To him in tandem relies a 5-speed "mechanics", or a torque converter "automatic" in four steps. 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 great - with the "mechanics" the hatchback consumes on average 6.9 liters of gasoline, and with the "automatic" - 7.4 liters.
The second is the 1.8-liter "four" MR18DE, arranged on the same principle as the less powerful engine. Its ultimate return is set at 126 "horses" and 173 Nm of thrust (at 4800 rpm). An uncontested 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 gluttony of the MR18DE does not differ - 7.8 liters of fuel per 100 km of run.
The "first" Nissan Tiida is based on the global Renault-Nissan alliance trolley, which also underpinned the Renault Modus and Nissan Note. The design of the suspension cannot be called special: at the front it is independent with MacPherson struts, and at the rear it is semi-independent with a torsion beam.
Options and prices. In 2015, Nissan Tiida is no longer on sale in Russia, but in the secondary market a “fresh” hatchback in 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 "Tiida" is equipped with air conditioning, front and side airbags, electric windows "in a circle", ABS, standard audio system, fabric interior and heated front seats.
