Test drive Nissan Tiida (Versa) Sedan since 2006 sedan

With its charter in a foreign monastery

In various parts of the world, the tastes of customers are very different. For example, a successful car in America in Europe or in the Middle East may tolerate full fiasco. To prevent this from happening, firms are trying to make cars focused on certain sales markets. But in Nissan they decided to act from the contrary. Three years after the start of release, we began to offer a model developed for East Asia.

It is the golf class model that is the basis for well-being for any company producing mass cars. However, Nissan's European flank was bare several years ago. The Almer is outdated, and the Japanese, apparently, could not physically prepare her a worthy replacement. After all, before the merger with Renault, the company was in a very difficult financial situation.
So the decision to adapt the tiid to Europe was not made from a good life. You can not even meddle in the rich countries of the West with such a machine. There, the empty niche of the golf class partially fill the pro-European laptops and Kashkai. Asian to the brain of the bones of the tiid is intended only for Eastern Europe, where buyers are conservative and not too parley.
Nissan marketers soberly assess the potential of tiids and do not hope to see it among the leaders of the Russian golf class. In their opinion, the car will mainly buy the owners of Almer, loyal to the Nissan brand. We will try to orient those who first paid attention to the novelty and do not yet know what kind of fruit it is and what it is eaten with.

What is the price?
Like most Japanese cars, tiid is supplied in several fixed trim levels, in some cases tied to the engine and transmission. You will find the cost of all modifications in the table.
 
    
The hatchback is clearly more harmonious than the sedan, but its appearance is too Japanese

As for the configuration, already in basic comfort there is everything you need. But if funds allow, Eleans also has every right to life. The best decoration of the salon, additional means of comfort and safety are undoubtedly worth the extra 40 thousand. But the top version of Tekna is already excess. A leather salon in a golf-class budget car on the other hand, everyone has its own opinion on this score, and an additional payment of 30,000 rubles. For Sibaritan things, teaks are not so great.
Of the two engines, 1.6-liter is clearly preferable. It is quite powerful, acceptable in price and the only one with which the automatic transmission is possible. One and eight, firstly, roads: 26,000 rubles. For two hundred cubes and the sixth gear in the box is too much. Secondly, other chassis settings are combined with this engine, which, as it turned out, are worse than the standard ones.

  
The Oblain and the Plane of the Salon with a directed light lamps enter the basic package, and the backlight of make -up mirrors appears from the eleganes version

The rear armrest is one of the pleasant trifles of Eleans
 
Depending on the body, transmission and configuration, a 1.6-liter tiaid will cost from 499,900 to 609 500 rubles. That is, somewhat more expensive than Suzuki-Liana close in ideology, about the same price with the new Lancer and a little cheaper than Mazda-3 and the Corolla.
As you can see, the price will not become a decisive argument in her favor. If the tiida has an advantage, this is the lack of queue. The car can be bought on the day of circulation, and most competitors will have to wait from two months to six months.

Outside and inside
But the appearance of the tiida, and this is especially true for a car with a body sedan, let’s say, an amateur. A tall, disproportionate car turned out to be somehow awkward. And heavy food, combined with subtile wheels and a frowning gaze of slanting headlights with reddened turn signals in the corners, create a subjective sensation of some sad concentration.
The hatchback is definitely more interesting. In its swimming rear lights there is even a hint of style, and the absence of a separate trunk visually conceals the disproportionality of forms. And yet, in general, against the background of cars made in Europe or for Europe, the tiid looks alien like a pagoda next to the Catholic Church.
   

In fact, Nissan designers are not guilty of anything. Look at the Japanese automobile catalogs. Many models for the domestic market handsome are worse than tiida-sedan. But if they are bought, then the Japanese find such cars attractive. It’s just that in the east and west the concepts of beauty are very different. And if you go with your charter to a foreign monastery, be prepared for the fact that you may not understand.
But from a practical point of view, the height of a car of 1525 mm has undeniable advantages. In terms of geometry and ease of planting, the tiid is close to compactwane. And this is the first thing that it is favorably different from the almer, which you sit in, as if you are falling on the floor.
An even more pleasant surprise for the owner of Almer will be the space of the salon. If the rear sofa has a real trap in your previous car, now passengers can feel like VIP-punches. In terms of the stock of space in the legs and above the head of the tiid, even the Corolla and the 4-door Megan, which, before its appearance, were considered the most hospitable in golf class. True, in the sedan the back of the sofa is too littered. Passengers will like the hatchback more, in which it can be installed more vertically.
 
  
The adjustment handles of the front seats are carried to the central tunnel. The solution, although unusual, is quite convenient

The folding armrest is conveniently used only if there is automatic transmission. With mechanics, it interferes with gear shift
 
 
Duffel pockets in the doors are roomy and comfortable

It is not true that all cars have become the same. Tiida has the softest door armrests in the world
 

But when you try to sit back, the three of you begin to understand why the tiida looks so disproportionate. The car is not only high, but also narrow only 1695 mm (again the specifics of the Japanese market). Today, even many superminos crossed the milestone of seventy meters, and TIIID classmates rang out in the shoulders until 17501800 mm. As a result, a solid car inside is not felt more spacious than the laptop.
By the level of decoration, the tiid on the head exceeds the almer: strict design, modern materials. The door armrests of such soft feather beds are not especially surprised even in the Mercedes S-class. And with the quality of the assembly, it seems, everything is in order. Although it is too early to draw conclusions. After all, the car is produced at the Nissan Mexican factory, whose reputation is not known for us yet.

Behind the wheel
The tiaid is radically different from Almere with a high stool planting. Of all competitors, perhaps only Auris offers the same pronounced minivan geometry. The seat seems to be good in profile and density of stuffing, but for some reason there is no feeling of comfort. Each of us fidgeted in an armchair and took several times by the handles of adjustments, trying to get comfortable.
But not enough for people above 185 cm, the range of longitudinal movement of the seat and the absence of adjustment by departure of the rudder too covered forward. So before buying a car, it is preferably to try on the go.
In addition, the complaints were caused by an unsuccessfully located computer switch button, the climate control display brushes (the same as on Micre and the laptop), as well as a contactless ignition key. To turn it into the OFF position, you have to press a tight button next to the lock. In general, there are shortcomings for ergonomics in the tiid.
But I really liked the easily readable tidy and convenient to control the radio with a built -in telephone set of blueters. If your pipe supports this protocol, it is enough to introduce it to the car, and conversations on the way will no longer be distracted from the road.
Good and visibility. Thanks to huge mirrors, high landing and large glazing area in a dense stream, you feel quite confident. Although the rear parking sensors in the city crowding, of course, will not hurt.

We load the suitcases
Supposing for the sedan the volume of the trunk of 467 liters, the Japanese are definitely modest. Visually and in rough estimates, the ruler here is at least half a cup. A very capacious chest! Moreover, unlike most sedans, it will not be extended in length, but in height a large road suitcase under the lid freely stands on the rib and still the gap remains.
True, the transformation is poorly thought out. The backs of the sofa, although folded in a ratio of 40:60, but what is the point if a step 25 (!) SMs form on the floor, which overlaps more than half the window between the trunk and the salon. It seems that folding backs also appeared in the process of unforeseen adaptation to Europe. Like, you would like to get it.
The sickle -shaped hinges of the covers, like most Asian sedans, eat part of the internal volume, and on the very lid, only simple upholstery is provided without an internal handle. In dirty weather you will have to get dirty.
 
    
The back of the hatchback is adjustable along the length and angle of the back of the back. When it is moved as much as possible, a large road suitcase can be placed longitudinally
 
    
The trunk of the sedan is very deep, but massive loops eat part of the useful volume, and a high step on the floor covers the hole into the salon

A rare case today when a full -size stock does not reduce the volume of the trunk

In the hatchback, Larchik initially small minimum 297 liters fully correspond to reality. But the sofa moves forward 240 mm. Of course, he can no longer accept passengers in the extreme position. But if you shift it half, the supply of space in the legs will remain acceptable, and the volume of the hold will increase to 340350 liters as in other golf-class hatchbacks. Plus, of course, the ability to transport bulky with a complete transformation.
But the cargo compartment of the tiida is surprisingly untidy, which is especially noticeable in the hatchback. The pile upholstery on the back of the back runs in a wave, the floor carpet at the junction with the sofa also breathes. Weird. Japanese machines for the domestic market, as a rule, are made very carefully. Apparently, in his homeland, the tiaid is considered a budget car.

Safety
Krash tests according to the rules of Euroncap, of course, did not pass. But he was subjected to similar tests in Japan. The JNCAP technique, unlike the European one, does not mean accruing points and assigning stars (protection is estimated only as a percentage), but under the conditions it will be even harder.
In total, with two tiaid safety pillows, it is quite good, at the level of European 4 stars, she protected the driver and passenger with front and lateral strikes. In our country, it is offered with at least 4 pillows (front and front side), and starting with the configuration of Eleans, window curtains are also added. The fact that Nissan in Russia does not save on security is certainly pleasant.
Children can be transported in armchairs both with conventional mounts and with isofixes. The front passenger Air Bag is disconnected, which allows you to install the children's chairs of groups 0 and 0+ in front, deployed forward.
On the roads
A car was built on a common platform with a laptop, and in sled habits this blood relationship is recognized immediately. A clear, albeit slightly synthetic force on the steering wheel. Good exchange rate stability on a high -speed line. Calm, but at the same time quite accurate reactions to control actions and very reliable, adequate behavior in corners. At the entrance, light insufficient rotation, after which it works as elastokinematics of the rear suspension and the machine confidently rises on the trajectory. The skid can only be caused by frankly provocative actions.
There are no special complaints about drilling comfort. Not bad for golf class noise insulation is surrendered only under the pressure of a 1.6-liter engine, which after 3,500 revolutions clearly takes a solo batch. And the smoothness of the course is completely eager to praise. The engineers managed to find the optimal balance between the energy intensity and the comfort of the suspension, although the tiid is still worse than the laptop. And her brakes are too sensitive, which at first requires addiction.
But if the laptop by the standards of Mikroven is just riding, then his sister, with similar sled habits, deserves only the grades well. For a passenger car, she has great rolls in corners and the nature of controllability is fresh. The car on the go is comfortable, adequate, but without the spark of God inherent in the best representatives of the golf class.
Now about the engine. The 110-horsepower engine is very good for its volume of 1.6 liters, it is confidently lucky from the bottom and briskly spins up to the limiter, which triggers at about 6700 rpm. In a word, the engine capabilities are enough with any box. And if the mechanics can still be blamed for excessively stretched gear rates, which slightly dulls the feeling of dynamics, then the machine operates just fine.
But the 1.8-liter unit, oddly enough, liked less. Even with a rapprocheted 6-speed box, he is in no hurry to give out an additional 16 power forces and 2 kilos of torque. Compared to one and six, of course, there is a difference. But it is not so noticeable that overpayment is 26,000 rubles. was unequivocally justified.
But most importantly, the 1.8-liter version is worse than the chassis. A more rigid suspension is strangely combined with softer elastokinematics of the rear beam. As a result, the smoothness of the course is already bordering on discomfort, but this does not make the car more collected. On the contrary, the food wags at every bump, which makes you constantly stealing both a high -speed line and in corners. No, the tiid must be taken with a 1.6-liter engine.
 
Engine

1. Glass washer tank. 2. The cork of the oil -loading neck of the engine. 3. The tank of the main brake cylinder. 4. Battery battery. 5. Block relay and fuses. 6. Radiator traffic jam. 7. Expansion tank of the cooling system. 8. The oil probe of the engine.
 
And without them
By passing the standards of the tiaid, it is well adapted for driving along roads of not better quality. Road clearance in 170 mm, perhaps, record in the classroom. However, during the congress on the primer, not so much the lumen is important as the length of the overhangs and the distance from the ground to the bumper and the thresholds. In this regard, the new Nissan is clearly preferable to Focus or Mazda-3. But alas, alas, is not capable of exploits permitted by high almer-Classic.
But the suspension of a 1.6-liter modification allows you to travel quite confidently and comfortably on the pits. The main thing, from sin to establish the defense of the crankcase.

Operation, service
The guarantee for Nissan is typically Japanese: 3 years or 100,000 km of run. At the same time, the conditions are spelled out quite correctly, without a clear desire to transfer possible problems to the buyer’s wallet. The standard interval is standard (15,000 km), and a network of 44 authorized technical centers in 29 cities of Russia is still coping with the needs of the market. At least in Moscow, the queue for a planned one rarely exceeds 23 days. In the current situation, when they sometimes write down for a month to replace oil, this is an undeniable advantage.
The cost of service at first glance seems high. However, Nissan, unlike some, includes consumables and all the necessary operations. What is the point, if others declare only $ 100 for that, and then it turns out that for this money they only change oil?
True, Nissan's spare parts are really very expensive. But if the car is insured according to autocasco, in the next 23 years, large details for your money are unlikely to have to, and the cost of brake pads and disks will definitely not ruin you.

We decided:
Compared to the outdated tiid almere-classic, it is better in almost everything exactly as much as it is more expensive. At the same time, its main advantages are the smoothness of the course (with a 1.6 engine) and a spacious salon behind. The rest of the car is fresh and too Japanese. The model, focused on the Asian market, largely loses to the analogues created with the sight of Europe.
