History

The Almera Tino was based on floorpan of the Almera small family car (whose second generation went on to launch at the beginning of 2000), and launched in Europe in May of that year, and was sold until the end of 2006, ceasing production in the February of that year - just before the Almera hatchback and saloon were axed. The car was known as simply Tino in Japan, where it was sold from 1998 to 2003, with the 1.8 and 2.0 petrol engines only. Spanish production began in May 2000 in Barcelona; the Almera Tino's 2.2-litre direct injection turbodiesel engine (YD22DDT) was also built in Spain, in Nissan's Madrid engine plant, while the petrol engines for the European model were built in Sunderland, UK. In Japan as well as in Europe, the 2.0-litre petrol engine was only available coupled to Nissan's Hyper CVT transmission. The 1.8 was only available with a four-speed automatic transmission in Japan, while European buyers could only get this with a five-speed manual transmission (although the automatic became available after the facelift). The diesels were only ever available with manual transmissions, although a six-speed option appeared after the 2003 facelift. Japanese equipment levels were J, G, X, and Aerosports. European buyers received a welter of different equipment levels, with continental markets typically using names, such as Comfort, Tecna, or Acenta, while British buyers got to choose between acronyms (S, SE, SE+, SVE, and many others). Europeans also received a welter of special editions, such as the Twister, DVD, Hurricane, and even a Haribo edition for the French market. The television advertisements for the Almera Tino in Japan in 1999 featured Mr. Bean, a character played by Rowan Atkinson. In April 2003 the Tino Hybrid went on sale in the Japanese market. Th
