Both the sedan and hatchback will cater to different customers’ needs but both models offer class-leading interior comfort and roominess. The Latio’s interior is over 6.0 feet long – the best in its vehicle class – and the materials used and high quality interior finishing give the Latio a quality level not commonly found in vehicles of this segment,” said Mr Toshimitsu Nose, Vice President of Product Planning of Nissan Asia Pacific Pte Ltd.</p><p><img border="0" src="http://www.zerotohundred.com/news/may/nissan_latio/small/nissan_latio_mala%20(17).jpg" width="500" height="332"></p><p>Innovative Latio features include extensive use of soft interior materials and a high-quality feel that exceeds the class standard.
