The differences between the 2016 Nissan Tiida and the 2019 Tiida lie in their emission standards: the 2016 Tiida adopts the China V standard, while the 2019 Tiida complies with the China VI standard. The Nissan Tiida is a vehicle produced by Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company, with dimensions of 4393 mm in length, 1766 mm in width, and 1539 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700 mm, and front-wheel drive. In terms of exterior design, the car features more curved lines, giving it a rounder and more stylish appearance. The triangular headlights and front grille lend the front fascia a somewhat aggressive look, while the wavy waistline on the side adds tension and dynamism.
As a three-year owner of the 2016 Tiida, I switched to the 2019 model last year. The most noticeable differences are in the exterior and interior. The 2019 version features a redesigned front bumper with chrome trim added to the fog light positions, giving it a sharper look. On the dashboard, the screen has been relocated above the air vents, reducing the need to look down while using navigation. The steering wheel now has a flat-bottom design. The seat cushioning feels more substantial, making long drives less taxing on the back. Another change is the rearview mirror, which now includes turn signal strips for safer nighttime turns. The key fob has also been updated from the old folding style to a one-piece design with buttons.
I've carefully compared these two generations of cars, and the upgrades in safety features are quite substantial. The 2019 model comes standard with tire pressure monitoring across all trims, while my older version only had it in the top trim. In terms of active safety, the high-end 2019 model adds rear cross-traffic alert, which beeps when detecting electric scooters while reversing in residential areas. The lighting has also been improved—the 2019's low beams are significantly brighter than the 2016's, making nighttime suburban driving more reassuring, plus it now features automatic leveling. The engine remains the HR16, but with reportedly optimized ECU programming, real-world testing shows about 0.5L/100km lower fuel consumption.
