New Car Nissan Tiida

Nissan has debuted the redesigned Tiida hatchback in Shanghai today. The reason for the premier in China is clear, Nissan sold 85,000 units of the Tiida compact hatch last year and is the best-selling model in the Nissan product line-up. The new Tiida will be a global car, selling in more than 130 countries by 2014, down from the current 165 countries. 

Inside, the far-eastern interior design influence is clear; smooth flowing curves, floating centre console, and numerous use of interior colours and materials feature. Nissan claims the seats will be deeply padded to reduce fatigue and guarantee a stress-free driving experience.

Sales of the Chinese model will start in May 2011, with the car being produced in Guangzhou. Despite the many grey imports of the current Tiida in the UK, it's unlikely sales will commence.
