Review of the Nissan Tiida 2026 model range: what trim levels are available?

In Russia and CIS countries Nissan Tiida Available in three main trim levels: Comfort, Elegance And Tekna. Each of them has unique features, but all versions are built on a single platform with front-wheel drive and gasoline engines. Let's take a quick look at each:

• 🚗 Comfort — a basic version with a minimal set of options, ideal for those who value simplicity and reliability. Suitable for city driving and budget buyers.
• 💎 Elegance - average level of equipment with improved interior trim, multimedia system and additional security systems. The optimal choice for family use.
• 🌟 Tekna — top-end equipment with maximum comfort, premium materials and advanced technologies. Suitable for those who want to get the best from Tiida.

It is important to note that some regions may offer special editions, e.g. Tiida Sport with modified suspension and exterior, but they are not officially supplied to the Russian market in 2026. It is also worth considering that configurations may differ depending on the year of manufacture - for example, 2022-2023 models had a slightly different set of options.

Technical specifications: engines, transmissions and suspension

All versions Nissan Tiida equipped with gasoline engines 1.6 liters with a distributed fuel injection system. Power varies depending on engine tuning and transmission type. Let's look at the key parameters:

Parameter	Comfort	Elegance	Tekna
Engine	HR16DE (1.6 l, 114 hp)	HR16DE (1.6 l, 114 hp)	HR16DE (1.6 l, 117 hp)*
Transmission	5-st. Manual transmission or 4 speed Automatic transmission	5-st. Manual transmission or 4 speed Automatic transmission	Only 4-st. Automatic transmission
Acceleration 0–100 km/h	11.5 s (manual transmission) / 12.8 s (automatic transmission)	11.5 s (manual transmission) / 12.8 s (automatic transmission)	12.5 s (automatic transmission)
Average fuel consumption	6.2 l/100 km (manual transmission) / 7.1 l (automatic transmission)	6.2 l/100 km (manual transmission) / 7.1 l (automatic transmission)	7.3 l/100 km (automatic)

* In version Tekna The engine has slightly more power due to optimized ECU firmware.

The suspension is identical for all trim levels: front - MacPherson type, rear - semi-independent beam. This strikes a good balance between comfort and handling, but some vibrations can be felt on rough roads. Top version Tekna equipped with softer shock absorbers and reinforced anti-roll bars, which improves the car's behavior at high speeds.

⚠️ Attention: When choosing a transmission, keep in mind that 4-speed automatic transmission on Tiida considered less reliable than mechanics. Owners often complain about jerks when changing gears, especially on runs over 100,000 km. If you plan on active use, it is better to give preference Manual transmission.
