Old cars never die, they just get redressed and become a new model. Such is the case with the Dongfeng Nissan Venucia R50, which will begin selling in the Chinese market from September. It’s essentially a first-generation C11 Tiida/Latio hatchback given a new sheet of exterior metal.
The R50 is the second model to be launched under the Venucia sub-brand following the introduction of the D50 sedan – itself a reskin based on the first-gen Latio/Tiida sedan – in April this year. The company says that the exterior design of the R50 – which is powered by a HR16DE 1.6 litre mill – is representative of the brand’s design concept of “soar.”
The sub-brand, named after the Roman goddess Venus, is hoping to offer five new models by 2015 and generate sales of 300,000 units annually. The D50 hasn’t been doing badly at all – in the first two months since its introduction, sales totaled 12,723 units through June.

Wish to see if Nissan able to bring in the Budget Nissan Micra to Malaysia. It’s very eco friendly with high FC. 375000 baht to 537000 baht @ Thailand.
when it comes to M’sia you must multiply by at least 1.5 to 2 to protect the crony, “provides jobs” and protect the jaguh kampung. Vote for PR for cheaper car and stop enrichment of certain peoples at the expend of our hard earn money.
The old Latio and my EX5 are nicer.
Like said earlier, bring the micra or march in Plz… Dominated by Prius C and jazz and polo…. Bring it on TCM. Commercial nv200 is a hit. Hit the small cars now….
I think this looks better than the old Latio…
