FactNissan forced the Tiida name onto every market including Australia, which fought to keep Pulsar and won it back for the next generation.
Nissan revealed the C-Note concept car in 2003 to preview the styling of the C11 Tiida, a concept hatchback based on the same platform as the Renault Mégane, unveiled at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show. The Tiida hatchback and the Tiida Latio sedan debuted in Japan in 2004 and in some European countries in 2007, based on a stretched-wheelbase variant of the Nissan B platform and manufactured as a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan. It was sold in North America as the Nissan Versa and in Southeast Asia as the Nissan Latio. The C11 sat between the subcompact and compact car classes, an intermediate model between the smaller Micra/March and the larger Sylphy and Sentra. Nissan initially directed every market to adopt the Tiida nameplate despite objections from markets such as Australia, which insisted on the more well-known Pulsar nameplate; the US market chose the Versa, establishing a precedent for Australia to reuse Pulsar for the succeeding C12 generation. In Japan the Tiida replaced the Nissan Sunny (B15) as the smallest sedan.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 1.5 HR15DE trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.
