The exterior styling includes new grilles, front bumpers and headlights at the front, and new taillights and a rear bumper at the rear end. Although better than the outgoing model, the Tiida still looks a little tame.

There is also a new instrument cluster design which features new illumination colours changed to an orange hue and a fuel consumption display function.

From now on, the 1.8-litre engine can be associated with a six-speed manual gearbox while fuel economy has been improved on the in-house continuously variable transmission.
