Nissan Tino - comfort, compactness and safety

The car "Nissan Tino" debuted in 1998. Despite the fact that it is a model of the Japanese concern, European designers have worked on its design. In the basis of this car lay the platform, taken from Sunny. In length the machine reaches 4270 mm. But this does not prevent it from being considered one of the most compact in its class.

Exterior and interior

"Nissan Tino" immediately attracts attention with its design. Its distinctive feature is an elegant, streamlined shape, high vertical tail lights and expressive head optics. Still this car has large doors and a high ceiling. Because this feature is typical for any minivan, even if it is compact. By the way, the salon turned out to be very convenient and capable of various variants of transformation. And the first models were pleased with the original distribution of seats. Six people were in front and behind. True, this, oddly enough, was not pleasant to many. Because the developers quickly changed the concept and began to follow the standard allocation of seats: in front - two, and behind - three.

Functionality of the salon

"Nissan Tino" is really very comfortable. In the 5-seat salon, the developers have provided 24 different seating options. And all thanks to the fact that behind is not a single sofa, but three separate chairs. They can be added together or separately. If necessary, it will be easy to move or completely dismantle the seats. Below them is two box-cache and several voluminous boxes. Pockets, shelves, glove boxes, even folding tables inside.

Thanks to a vertical fit and a large glazing area, an excellent view is provided. This is another plus, which can boast of "Nissan". All models of this manufacturer actually have this advantage. Another thing to note is the non-standard architecture of the front panel. She was made as if inclined. It begins near the windshield and goes down to the function block, which combines the navigator, the instrument panel and the audio system. By the way, Nissan Tino is offered in several trim options. These are Comfort, Ambience and Luxuri.

Characteristics

At all times, good and reliable cars produced by the concern "Nissan". All models have decent characteristics. And Tino is no exception. This car is equipped with power units equipped with direct injection of fuel. There are two versions of engines - 1.8 and 2.0 liters. The first produces 120 "horses", and the second - 135 liters. from. The maximum speed is 155 and 165 km / h, respectively. The first of these engines works in tandem with a 5-speed "mechanics". And the second - with the CVT variator.

Years went by, technologies developed: more powerful engines appeared. "Nissan Tino" began to be equipped with 2.2-liter 136-strong "diesels". These cars, produced in the early 2000s, had good dynamics. The maximum speed was already 187 km / h. And even a little fuel was consumed by such a model of Nissan Tino. Diesel is an economical option. And the car with 2.2 DCi spent only 8.6 liters per 100 "urban" kilometers. On the highway, the flow rate was 5.5 liters.

It should be noted that each model is equipped with disc brakes and ABS. An independent McPherson suspension is on the front. And behind - an independent design. They say the suspension is a bit stiff for Russian roads. But she has a plus. Thanks to it the car confidently keeps on the road, does not swing and reacts quickly to the actions of the driver.

Security

This, perhaps, is one of the most important qualities of every car. And many know that the concern "Nissan" observes the so-called concept of triple security. Firstly, the model is distinguished by an excellent overview of the road and a comfortable atmosphere reigning inside the cabin. Secondly, the machine is equipped with everything that provides a quiet and confident ride. A windshield brush, for example, covers about 97% of its surface. So even in the rain the visibility will be maximum.

A complex reflectors, which are equipped with taillights, provide good visibility for the rear of the car. Like the built-in diode brake light. Another machine has a panoramic rear-view window. Therefore, the appearance of "blind zones" is excluded. And, of course, inside there are front and side cushions, pretensioners, active headrests, and also anti-shock bars. And, finally, the body is made of two zones. And one of them was designed so that in case of impact it crumpled, without exerting any strain on the elements inside. Deformation of the cabin is minimal. So, the passengers and the driver will be safe. This is the main advantage of this compact.
