Nissan Tino

The Nissan Tino midsized MPV was withdrawn from the market in 2006 without a replacement, although Nissan introduced the Note small MPV in 2006. While the Almera Tino wasn’t as popular or long-lived as some of its rivals, it represented Nissan’s approach to the compact MPV segment in the early 2000s. It found a niche among buyers looking for a practical, reliable, and affordable family vehicle.

Nissan Tino Overview

The Nissan Almera Tino, commonly referred to as the Nissan Tino, was a compact MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) or minivan produced by Nissan. Introduced in the early 2000s, it was largely aimed at the European market. The Almera Tino was introduced in 2000, with production running until around 2006. It was built on the same platform as the Nissan Almera, a compact car also targeted mainly at the European market.

The Tino adopted a typical MPV design with a tall and spacious interior, flexible seating, and a practical layout suitable for families. Depending on the variant, it came with features such as a rear parking camera, which was somewhat innovative for its time and segment. The Tino offered good visibility due to its large windows and high driving position, which was appreciated by many drivers.

Over its production life, the Almera Tino was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines. This included 1.8L and 2.0L petrol engines and a 2.2L diesel option. The vehicle was designed for comfort and practicality over performance. The Almera Tino was part of Nissan’s effort to capture a share of the compact MPV market in Europe, competing against the likes of the Renault Scénic, Ford C-Max, and Opel/Vauxhall Zafira, among others.
