Nissan New Tiida Hatch and
Maxima
This is the face of China’s
new Nissan Tiida compact hatch based on a subtly revised version of the
European market Pulsar. It made its debut today at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show
with the Japanese carmaker to start accepting pre-orders this week.
For the Chinese market,
Nissan turned the Pulsar into the Tiida by gracing it with a new grille similar
in design to the one used on the latest Maxima sedan, together with restyled
bumpers on both ends, while inside, apart from the elevated equipment levels
that include leather surfacing on some editions, it also gets market-specific
7-inch infotainment system.
The Chinese Tiida will
launch only with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine rated for
126 hp and 154 Nm of peak torque, coupled to Nissan’s
Intelligent Start and Stop system and an improved Xtronic CVT, but a more
modern 1.2-liter turbocharged four may join the range next year.
At the Beijing show, Nissan
announced the launch of sales of its new Maxima sedan priced from RMB 234,800
or about US$ 38,000, while it also brought along the IDS Concept from last year’s
Tokyo motor show.
