Nissan has launched facelift versions of the Latio hatchback and sedan in our neighbouring country of Thailand, where the two models are called the Tiida and Tiida Latio respectively. The facelift has already been out for quite sometime actually, on sale in its country of origin Japan and even Singapore.
Basically Nissan has found a grille that ‘works’ along the way of its various experimentation with styling and are now sticking the Nissan Murano’s grille onto pretty much everything they have. Edaran Tan Chong Motor has yet to do anything about its locally assembled Latio and Latio Sport here.
The front grille is differentiated between the sedan and hatchback by its colour – dark and light grey respectively. There is also a new front bumper design. Look after the jump for a gallery of nice images that Nissan Thailand sent over.

Wa de girl damn HAWT
all the uncles gave the thumbs up because of the car or the girls?
Looks like the 1st gen Murano to me…
8.5/10 for the brunette.
7/10 for the other gal.
5.5/10 for the facelift.
Don't really see much lifting.
Yup, HAWT.
WANT that girls
WOWWIE!!!hot girls!!the redhead has mesmerizing eyes,but the brunette has nicer smile.I can't decide which one is better.Haha!!Can't really see the difference in the facelifted Latios.From a distance,it looks like the old Murano's wannabe.
the front looks like grand livina to me…
the cars sucks but those girls are hot
screw the car, i want the girl.
anyway, its minor changes to the exterior and interior, engine wise nothing different. maybe we get ours next year?
latio isnt selling well either way, due to the overrated vios and again, the segment overkiller pug 308.
Are you pretty sure those are real girls…? Not a fake 1..?

nice job girls! paul, do you have the girls pic before they are facelifted?.. cant really tell the differences without the pre-facelift pics.
why every time chicks goes face lifted, they use car in their photo?
@csv – I rather screw the girls..
Whoa! the girls looks wayyyyy better than the cars. Double thumbs up for the car… oopps, i mean the girls!
cheap cars ..
beautiful girls ..
better looking PM …
who doesn't like Thailand ?!?
i think more comments on the girls rather than the car..haha
PT, should change to 'Girls facelifted in Thailand, where's ours?'
Look like the hot girl steal the facelifted latio show..
Thailand,Thailand Thailand!!!
screw the car. Looks like some over priced kampung furniture..
The girls however damn look so fine… brunette smiles like a sweet girl
redhead eyes are so pretty..
The nissan latio looks like gonna bang more money for crappy looks and bad engine.
Though the thick look very hot and gorgeous. ….hmm but wait, it could be a tranny. hohohoho!!!
next time try put men to get the car more attention..hehehe
anyway i only see the gals..
the gals look awesome….
Screw the car! get the chicks instead.
Huh?! What facelift?! Very hard for me to observe (maybe the girls make me cannot concentrate).
So many years Tan Chong has been building boring Nissan locally, this is just another boring lift from previous face. Nonetheless quality wise they are one of the best in CKD form. With high trade-in price and high 2nd hand value, they are still far behind T&H. Would this facelift help?
i wan go thailand nissan to find out this girl, wahahahaha
Maybe they aren't really 'girls'?
i love nissan, but not latio…
kia spectra5 can smoke this latio (dun pronounce lan ch**) easily…
underpowered car?
the front look much better than mine (latio)
wow thumbs up for the hot babes!

hey hey hey, so you're into ….older generation MILF's. that's cool but no need to share that around la.
alo everyone. ya, the lady that presented the Latio looks sweet, thumbs up. oh ya anyway, any info that Navara with 6 speed manual will be on sale here cos I saw Nissan's recent billboard shows new Navara with manual transmission… and also hope to see the new Pathfinder on our road, it seem the Navara looks more handsome with station wagon form.
New Grill or new Girls? Seems like nobody cares about the grills, haha! The headlight is so so so so so so ugly, just the butt is tight, the rest is so saggy. God honest, even the new viva elite is better looking. Nissan is so stingy with their good designs, only put good designs on GTRs and Fairlady. For midsizer, we better go for Vios or City(Honda go all out with their design).
These everyday cars from Nissan are actually quite good to drive but their designs are always so average.
NO MATTER HOW ITS FACE IS LIFT !! its still UGLY!!!! nissan..boring…
