Nissan Tiida

Among the 318 Nissan entries in the MotorJury library, the Nissan Tiida holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2004. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Nissan Tiida properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2000s were the decade of electronics — stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids arrived while platform-sharing consolidated the industry into a handful of giants. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Chrysler Chrysler 300, the Suzuki Motor Corporation Suzuki Swift, the Ford Ford Mustang — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Nissan Tiida reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1.5 L Nissan HR engine#HR15DE / HR15DE Straight-four engine / I4 / 1.6 L Nissan HR engine#HR16DE / HR16DE I4 / 1.8 L Nissan MR engine#MR18D; kerb weight is recorded at 1100 kg; drive goes through 5/6-speed manual / Jatco JF404E 4-speed automatic / CVT; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Nissan story

Within Nissan's own catalogue the Nissan Tiida sits alongside the Nissan N6, the Nissan N7, the Nissan NX8, the DeltaWing. The record names the Nissan Sunny (B15) (Japan) / Nissan Almera/Pulsar/Sentra/Sunny (N16) (Asia/Europe) / Nissan Stanza as its predecessor and the Nissan Note/Versa Note (E12) (C11 hatchback, Asia and Americas) / Nissan Almera/Versa/Sunny/Latio (N17) (C11 sedan, Asia and Americas) as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Assembly is recorded at Japan: Kanda, Fukuoka (Kyushu Plant) / China: Wuhan; Guangzhou (Dongfeng Nissan) / Mexico: Cuernavaca, Morelos; Aguascalientes / Taiwan: Miaoli (Yulon) / Thailand: Samut Prakan / M.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Nissan Tiida was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
