Nissan Latio in more detail
More detailed contextWho it suits and how it stacks up
The Nissan Latio emphasizes efficiency, everyday ease, and usable cargo over outright performance or luxury. It aligns with city and compact-family needs while prioritizing consumption, reliability, and practical space.
Efficiency and drive feel
Combined consumption of 5.6 is efficient for its class. With 110 hp, 0–100 km/h in 10 s, and FWD, it offers predictable, city-friendly response. A 180 km/h top speed is adequate for daily use.
Practicality, safety, and value
Five seats and a 400 L trunk cover routine family errands and weekend bags. A 4-star safety rating adds confidence.
Priced around 20,000 with a reliability score of 75, it targets dependable, low-hassle ownership over premium features. If your priorities differ, also consider Nissan Sentra, Nissan Altima Sedan, Ford Focus Sedan, or Ford Mondeo Mk2.
