Test drive Nissan Tiida (Versa) Sedan since 2011 sedan

The new kind

Nissan Tiida. Price: 499 900 rub. On sale: since the end of 2007
The breeders from Nissan brought a new type of car, which was called Tiida. This model is designed to compete in a crowded segment C. What kind of trump cards come to the market? We check the advantages and disadvantages of the debutant at the Dmitrov Auto Poligon
The Nissan lineup expanded at the expense of another Novika, which was called Tiida. In appearance, this is a completely new class B car, ready to compete not only by other brands, but also inside its own company. We are talking about the closest collections Note and Almera Classic. Among other things, a 25% platform unified by 25% connects from NOTE. Why did the Nissan concern need a new model?
Nissan marketers decided not to display expensive versions of Note and Almera Classic to the market. It is true, each of them found its buyer, who considered the ratio of price-quality ideal. Rise in price can reduce demand. Therefore, it was decided to create a new car, which will already be in the database by a richer equipment and will become a direct competitor to Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Renault Megane.
The appearance of Tiida does not claim the ideal of beauty. The last trends of the brand were weaved in it. In front, the car is something like Teana, and it’s hard to say from behind, but the decision to make the back door of the hatchback of triangular should be recognized as unsuccessful. Access to the luggage compartment has worsened. In the interior decoration, many elements are familiar with Note and Micra models. In general, everything looks harmonious. As for the materials used, the plastic turned out to be quite decent quality. Adjusting the additional decoration of the doors with a cloth. This adds comfort.
What Tiida really boasts is ergonomics. This refers not only to a large range of adjustments, but also by the transformation of the salon. Of course, in this indicator the novelty is inferior to modern compact-wenes who, like transformer robots, are capable of radically change the inner space. But among classmates, Tiida stands out unambiguously. For example, rear passengers can easily increase space for their feet. It is enough to pull the lever, and the sofa will move smoothly back. In addition, you can change the angle of inclination of the back. With the most pushed away chair in the trunk, there is a lot of space for the luggage. So long trips will not become a problem. We experienced this on ourselves, getting to the car police four and transporting test equipment in the trunk.
How does Tiida behave in motion? For our tests, the most popular equipment with a 1.6 l engine with a capacity of 110 hp was chosen among buyers. and automatic transmission.
Immediately note mediocre accelerated indicators. But there is nothing to be surprised here. Few people succeeded, connecting a low -power motor and automatic transmission, achieve excellent dynamics. As a result, up to 100 km/h the car accelerates in 12.2 s. Further acceleration is also not easy. Due to long gear, the motor has to gain momentum for a long time. The maximum Tiida speed is decent 170 km/h. We are talking about real results obtained using test equipment. Do not forget, the speedometer often overstates the indicators.
As for acoustic comfort, the new car cannot be called noisy. At idle, the motor is practically not heard, the noises of the street almost do not penetrate inside. But it is worth the engine to reach 50006000 min-1, as the salon is filled with a mourning rumble. Nissan Tiida steering is good for good information, given the civil purpose of the car. Moderately light steering wheel has good feedback. This largely saves when performing sharp rebuilding, since the suspension is prone to the rolls. From the side they look frightening, but you feel quite confident at the wheel.
Tiida rearrangements are held at the level of closest competitors. A pleasant surprise was the fact that the speed indicators of the exercises in a loaded and unloaded state are slightly different. On the rearrangement of the VDA, the input speed in both cases is 68 km/h, and in the output 53 km/h in an empty version and 51 km/h in coarse. On a long stop, the speed exceeded 120 km/h, amounting to 123.4 km/h and 122.6 km/h. The difference in the passage of 18-meter slalom was generally minimal only 0.4 km/h (62.5 versus 62.1 km/h). Amazing stability. Side effects with emergency maneuvering include a rapidly developing skid, requiring correct and premature intervention. This behavior is largely dictated by the same soft suspension, prone to rolls and excessive wheels.
Praise deserve brakes. In most cars with automatic KP, they quickly heat up. Tiida behaves more than worthy. Having reached the operating temperature, the brake indicators reach a stable good level.
Nissan Tiida is unlike other products of a modern automotive industry. In technical terms, there are practically no complaints about the debutant. An honest car for your money.
The scope of business class
In Nissan Tiida, engineers paid many attention to the rear passengers. The back door opens almost ninety degrees. This not only allows you to easily get to the rear sofa, but also facilitates the installation, for example, a children's chair. Tiida is also different from most of their competitors are an original option. The rear sofa can be shifted by 24 cm. As a result, even a tall person will feel comfortable behind. There are a lot of places in the legs. To reach the knees to the back of the front seats, you still need to try. This transformation allows a minimum of effort to achieve a comfortable time for passengers on the long journey. At the same time, the luggage department of the hatchback is rather big. It is 272 liters with decomposed rear seats. For comparison: in the Nissan Note, the trunk is most 8 liters. The TIIDA cargo compartment provides a developed cargo fastening system. From fixing hooks to nets.
Our assessment
Nissan Tiida has a balanced suspension, a spacious salon. The car has absorbed all the best from its closest brothers in the model range. In this case, the price is fully consistent with the content.
