When Nissan changed the name of their Pulsar to a Tiida they didn’t expect such a plunge in sales. Unfortunately changing a familiar name can affect the sales of your product. The Tiida did appear to have a chunky tall look which deterred potential buyers. To counteract the reduction in sales Nissan reduced the price to try and increase sales. Now Nissan have decided to restyle the Tiida which has been in production since 2006.

The 2010 model has been given a restyling overhaul to attract buyers. The vehicle has been given a sportier look by extending and reshaping the nose. The side skirts are now the same colour as the body and a new radiator grille adds to the sporty look. To further attract buyers Nissan have again reduced the price to make it up to $4,000 cheaper than its Japanese competitors. The standard equipment has been increased on all models and the engine more efficient by now complying with European Stage 4 emission controls.

Mitsubishi have released their latest Outlander SUV. The 2010 model is a revised version of the 2006 model. The latest model boasts a striking brand new shape, which incorporates a redesign of the headlights, bumper, tail lights, mirrors and side sills. With a new grille, which Mitsubishi refer to as a “Jet Fighter” it really stands out from the crowd. The interior of the vehicle is similar with changes only to the trim colours and materials, and some new lighting effects.

The latest Outlander has a revised engine which provides more power and torque yet reducing the fuel consumption and emissions. This a regular feature amongst most manufacturers to keep in line with providing consumers a greener more efficient vehicle. Some Outlander models do provide a third row of seats which are generally more suitable for children, as like most 7 seaters. Whilst an SUV in can certainly be used for some serious off road driving.

We are consistently seeing that car manufacturers are constantly improving their vehicles to provide their consumers with more economical cars. As such Mazda have introduced their first passenger diesel car. The Mazda 3 now comes in a diesel version being the MZR-CD. The latest addition to the Mazda line up is even more attractive to consumers as it has a sporty edge to it. The MZR-CD comes complete with an impressive body kit which includes a front spoiler, side skirts and alloy wheels.

This latest vehicle drives particularly well as it is quiet and relatively smooth. Fuel consumption averages 6 or 7 litres per 100 km. Economic drivers could certainly reduce the fuel consumption to around 5 litres. To ensure such an economic drive the MZR-CD only comes in a manual transmission. Mazda are working on providing an automatic version but a release date is yet to be set.
