Wikicars, a place to share your automotive knowledge
The Nissan Tiida is a compact automobile manufactured by Nissan, replacing both the long-running Pulsar and the Sunny models in its home market as of September 30, 2004. The range consists of a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan called the Nissan Tiida Latio. The Tiida is not based on the Nissan C platform like the Renault Mégane, but rather the Nissan B platform with the wheelbase stretched.
Its styling was previewed with the Nissan C-Note show car a year before its launch. The models are characterized by being quite tall, a trend that resurfaced in the late 1990s. In North America, it is called the Versa. North and South American models of the Tiida uses a DOHC 1.8 L engine and is assembled at Nissan's Aguascalientes, Mexico assembly plant.
In China, the Tiida is produced by the Dongfeng Motor Company, a joint venture between Nissan and a local company.
There is a 1.5 liter version of the car offered in Singapore with a 1.5 L I4 QR15DE engine.

Nissan Versa
The Nissan Versa is the North American version of the Tiida, first sold for the 2007 model year. It is available in sedan or hatchback form.[1]
The North American Versa debuted at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in January of the same year. The hatchback model was introduced first,[2] with the sedan arriving later at the end of the year. The Versa is powered by a 1.8 L I4 engine producing 122 hp (91 kW) and 127 ft·lbf (170 N·m). Three transmissions are offered; a 4-speed automatic, a continuously variable transmission, and a 6-speed manual.[3]
The Versa is the only car in its class (in the North American market) to offer bluetooth and a 6-speed transmission as an option. Currently, prices range from US$12,990 to $16,210.
In Canada, the Versa fills the gap in Nissan's lineup since the discontinuation of the Micra in 1991.
