It looks like China is the country to look at when it comes to checking out the latest and greatest stuff from Nissan for the average layman (not the expensive stuff like the 370Z, GT-R, etc). The new Nissan Sunny made its world debut in China, and we also saw a revised design for the Nissan Teana. And now we have this, an all-new Nissan Tiida, known as the Nissan Latio in Malaysia.
These images from Chinese website Auto Sohu show a very attractive looking new Nissan Tiida hatchback, whichh has now become a full fledged C-segment vehicle rather the B/C segment car that was the current generation Tiida. Nissan’s B-segment sedan and hatch offerings are now officially the March and the Sunny.
According to Auto Sohu, wheelbase for the new Tiida is now a Sylphy-matching 2,700mm, one of the longest in the C segment, which should translate into decent interior space. I wonder if this look will translate well onto a sedan body. A sedan based on this platform and wheelbase length can be used to replace the Bluebird Sylphy.
Apparently the Latio will also get a hot hatch version powered by the 1.6 litre turbo engine that you can currently find in the Nissan Juke. The MR16DDT makes 188 horsepower and 240Nm of torque, which will transform the new Tiida into an interesting competitor for the likes of the Golf GTI and the Mazda 3 MPS.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Har, this one got potential to shake the market here!
In local market, it might direct compete with Mazda 3 hatchback and pug 308..
hope the price will slight lower than the rivals then we can get the benefit from it.. =)
look a bit like 4-door megane hatch :-P
1.6 liter turbo engine, 188 HP, can blow off 308T or not?
hhehe
come on la 188bhp only even Kia forte can smoke this easily….
this type of design….even a simple old kia sephia looks stunning parking beside this shit….
u are really good in comment, please comment more in future
Jeezzzz…i wonder how many hp does a 1.6 kia forte have???2000??or 126 which is 60 hp less than the new tiida.
i can smell some jealousy from a 1.6 with 126hp forte owner.
go google la….there’s a special concept edition of the forte….best in class…
Bro… Concept and special edition ah?
You take this to compare with production car ah? Why don’t take F1 to compare with F430?
Proton campro 1.6 turo charge also hit 200+ hp lar, but the question is, std engine boleh tahan ah? will it break to pieces after 10,000 KM? or it build to last for atleast 300,000 KM?
lan ciao….my CPS smoke forte in east-west road…
2.0 also 156hp, 1.6 NA = less than 130 hp…how to taupau?
You are right! The Forte engine wil come out all smoke if try to match with 188hp Turbo engine, really smoke away~~ haha
Smelling fishy over here. I doubt the comment is really from Forte lover or Forte hater.
all trolling here lol
maybe the forte owner jealous because his car is older 4-speeder while those new owners get 6-speeder…lolz :D
Really? In what world? 1.6L with less than 130hp (vs 188hp). The only thing smoking would be your Forte engine trying to keep up
Looks Good.
Knowing TC, this time sure hit 100k or cut down some spec…
really not bad.. so how much is it in China???
the headlamp looks like taken from proton exora
Are u sure? I tot P1 exora taken from Toyota Wish headlamp design..
whilst I thought like caldina… or mini caldina
Exora? What the hell is Exora… Nissan Tiida selling all around the world, from North America to Latin America… from Europe to Middle East… from China to Australia… where the hell are you Exora?
In bolehland and Indo only.
Ha ha ha~ still better than P2… in Bolehland only?
Haha…u r really P1 fans.
frony grill looks very much like lexus is250 while back looks like murano.
if this car is in c-segment then where Nissan want to position Sylphy?
The ‘ugly’ Sylphy should be heading to museum soon…
Can modified into Renault Megan.
2.7m wheelbase hatchback??..wowwweeee..its gonna be spacious i tell ya!
Even the current Latio hatch back is quite spacious at the back… especially when you can slide and tilt the back seat.
nice
Tan Chong pls bring this beauty in Bolehland.Sure will sell like hot cake with 1.6 Turbo 188hp.
they can bring.. but with price 140k..hahaha
most probably they will seize the chance to sell at higher price. the X-grill is the trend, but from side view it does remind me a bit of 308.
Sure Tan Chong will bring….until next generation launch.
the front tilda’s grille has small resemblance with volvo c30..
ugly, 7-series better
more toyota than nissan…
Look a like to Nissan safari partrol
the headlamps are very big i think. it does not compensate with the front grill and overall design. mcm mata yang terbeliak.
The front is nice, but the back is… Hopefully the sedan will looks better. Btw, why everytime spyshot no interior?
This looks great. It makes it more great with the 1.6 Turbo engine…. Wait for more picture especially interior.
The front looks like Lexus. Overall, it’s a nice car.
Come on lah u think ur Kia Engine boleh tahan lama like Nissan ke???
Like Kia the front! its pretty not bad…but..wait, we got so much similar car in here at Proton! Gen2, Neo!! no! PROTONG is the best! dont come here nissan!……
nice! luv the design at the back like Nissan Murano style…the front side has a pinch of Volvo and Lexus looks…but Cool!
Looks good, inoffensive , more evolutionary than revolutionary…
1.6turbo 188hp woow!!!! If additional a choice of manual trans stick,it would be mre perfect~!! and nissan is always low intrest of loan~!!!!!!!! Nissan,pls bring us manual trans also to malaysia plss~!!!
need some bodykits on…. I still prefer cheaper Sunny (Most ppl said for Old Man), but for me is Convenient & affortable car Better……..
Will make Pug Prince engine looks like pussy..1.6 156hp and Nissan 1.6 188hp.
half sister of renault megane
looks like they copied hyundai’s design language
Wow! this looks good 1,6Turbo with 188 Hp and 240Nm ( wonder at what Rpm?)..
will there be a Sedan version just like the Latio in Malaysia? FC should be good with 1.6L.? If this is inexpensive may be serious contender for 2011 Jetta 1,4TSI(122Hp and 200NM) recently launch in Spore..
faster bring in to malaysia to replace the boxy and unattractive latio
…think
Next generation Nissan Tiida (Latio) hatchback spotted in China, and it looks good!
errr..look good?????are u serious dude???
Ok lah, looks wise …. better than the current animal farm design anyway :)
Almost fell off my chair when I read the high horsepower output …. don’t expect that from a Sunny do you ? :)
agreed. 188??? tweak here and there to squeeze that much out ah? 1.6 turbo produces 188horses. reasonable or not?
looks great!!
the front got a bit looks similar to Volvo S60 for me( just my opinion anyway )
overall superior enjine n a well designed car
great job Nissan!
Dont expect the 188bhp car to arrive on our shores. Tan Chong always think that our nissan buyers are uncles thats why bring in slow and uninteresting cars from nissan.
Come on TC they have much more nicer race inspired cars like the R35 GTR. Bring it in and let the people decide whether they want to pay for it and can afford the maintenance or not.
Worse still tanchong is always slow in bringing in cars to malaysia and always too pricey(except for th teana and sylphy).
rear look a bit like scalled down nissan murano.
If the price is right, then I believe this is a good buy, for a 2nd car.
In order for the price is right, maybe we should first remove P1?
Hopefully they won’t ever rebadge it.
is it me only or anyone think it looks like sirocco wif the wide base and a narrow bit top?
belakang view got vw scirocco DNA lar!
Nice design. Hope the sedan and interior will looked better. For 1.6 car with nice design, and the pricing maintain at RM85K – RM95K, it can sell well in here.
No sedan version. New Sunny will replace it.
Icic, no wonder the new sunny front view looked like this new Tiida front view.
looks way better than the current latio
Interior spyshot

instead of turbo, i wish they come out with they Hybrid version.
why when i look at this car..reminds me of some design cue lines from Lexus ct200h? maybe my eyes..
This car looked like VW scirocco + Peugeot 308 + Lexus ct200h.
akhirnya… nissan pandai juga design bagus2..haha
wah better than current latio.. please bring it in malaysia, sure selling like hot cakes.. latio gile buruk… (sorry latio owners, its real truth what)
Yay a Myvi killer!
Proton must rebadge it and just sell it below 60k
Remove the protection and sell it for 55k, no need to rebadge, anytime give you the original badge…
is it my eyes or the colour or the headlamps, that this Latio looks somewhat like Volvo S60?
Anyway, nice design.. guess it will sell well here given the right price and specs… =)
front looks like Lexus CT200h
Nice! When is the this and the sedan model coming out?
TAN CHONG please act quickly and make these models available in the Malaysian market! Pretty please?
Cant wait to see this launched this April. Has similarities with the Mazda3 which is good. Id buy one if properly priced. Nissan needs to bring out something to excite the market. This car’s clean design will attract a lot of buyers.
As usual, never want to improve, C-segment haha, mmm, lacks something, I think it is telescopic steering.
Still 1695mm in width?
BTW do you know which Jap D-segment is paling KURUS in Malaysia? It is…… you know le.
Manual trans stick pls pls pls
this is nice looking car, inside & outside…in term of power, i like!!!
bring it here ETCM!!
