Exterior: There is so much to love about the Nissan LATIO SPORT. It is sporty, stylish and fun to drive. Besides, it is a hatchback that reflects your personality and tells the world about you. With its vibrant styling, remarkably versatile interior, excellent maneuverability and handling capabilities, the Nissan LATIO SPORT is a car that anticipates the rhythm of your active lifestyle.

Interior: The Latio offers a premium-quality interior that exceeds expectations for cars of this class by making extensive use of soft materials that are combined to create an impression of luxury, without detracting from the unique texture of each material. Special care was given to the selection of high-quality seat fabrics and the quality of the stitching. The Latio also features flexible rear seats that slide up to 240 mm. With the rear seats moved all the way back, the luggage area has a capacity of 289 liters (VDA). Sliding the rear seats forward 240 mm increases the capacity by more than 1.5 times to 463 liters.

Under the hood: The Latio is fitted with the newly developed all-aluminum 1.5-liter HR engine. This advanced, in-line four-cylinder multi-valve engine offers improved fuel economy and acceleration when compared with previous engines of its size. The new all-aluminum HR15DE engine is a front intake/rear exhaust type. Steps were taken to reduce friction, improve thermal efficiency and boost charging efficiency, among other improvements, enabling the engine to deliver greater torque at low to medium speeds, operate more quietly and reduce fuel consumption.

The Latio also features a suspension system derived from the specifications of high-end cars. A strut suspension system is used at the front, and an H-shaped torsion beam suspension is adopted at the rear. The suspension system incorporates internal rebound springs, ripple-control shock absorbers and other features normally found on high-end cars, enabling the Latio to provide outstanding handling and stability combined with supple ride comfort.

With a low 0.29 drag coefficient (Cd) and zero body lift at the front, the Latio also ranks among the best in its class in terms of aerodynamics. The result is that the Latio delivers comfortable and enjoyable driving at all times, from everyday trips to expressway cruising and traveling on upland roads.

Safety: The Latio comes with a high level of standard safety equipment, including front-seat Active Head Restraints and dual SRS airbag systems for the driver and front passenger.  Read less [-]
