What transmission does the Nissan Tiida use?
2 Answers
Nissan Tiida uses a 5-speed manual and CVT transmission. The functions of the transmission are: 1. Change the transmission ratio; 2. Expand the torque and speed of the driving wheels; 3. Enable the car to drive in reverse; 4. Facilitate gear shifting or power output of the transmission. Taking the 2021 Nissan Tiida as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4393mm, width 1766mm, height 1539mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, and a body weight of 1180kg. The 2021 Nissan Tiida is equipped with a 1.6L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 184PS, maximum torque of 155Nm, maximum power of 90kW, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The transmission of the Tiida depends on the specific model year. Around 2006, the first-generation domestically produced Tiida had different configurations: the 1.6L automatic version was equipped with a 4AT transmission, the manual version had a 5MT, and a sport version even used a 6MT manual transmission. After the 2011 facelift, the mainstream option became the CVT continuously variable transmission, especially for the 1.6L models, which mostly used CVT, known for its smoothness and fuel efficiency. The latest models still continue to use CVT, but it has been upgraded to include a simulated 7-speed function, improving fuel economy even further. If you're buying a used older Tiida, make sure to confirm the transmission type—the early 4AT consumes significantly more fuel than the current CVT. It's recommended to test-drive and experience the acceleration characteristics of the CVT, as its power response during startup differs from traditional AT transmissions.
