Yesterday, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/05/report-2012-nissan-versa-to-debut-at-new-york-auto-show">we told you</a> that the 2012 <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/versa/">Nissan Versa</a> is coming to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/new-york-auto-show/">New York Auto Show</a> later this month, and today we can show you exactly what its JDM counterpart will look like. Above is a completely undisguised photo of the Tiida hatchback as it sits in a parking lot in China. The hatch shares a virtually identical front end to that of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2012-versa-sketch/">Versa sketch</a> Nisan showed us back in October. The Tiida also shares a platform with the already in production <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/20/nissan-unveils-all-new-2012-sunny-global-sedan-in-china/2">Sunny</a>, which shows that a sedan variant is also likely.<br />
<br />
The spy photo shows highly stylized headlamps and a grille that is framed in chrome. The lower fascia is agape, framed by a pair of similarly large fog lamp openings. Overall styling of the Tiida appears to be a bit more conservative than competitors like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/fiesta">Ford Fiesta</a>, though it's a clear improvement compared to the outgoing Versa. Another spy photo, which is available on <a href="http://www.autoincar.com/spyshot-2012-nissan-tiida-in-china-before-auto-shanghai-show-2011/">autoincar.com</a>, shows that the Tiida carries a Direct Injection Gas 1.6 liter turbo engine, which currently pumps out 188 horsepower under the hood of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/juke">Juke</a>, though we'd be very surprised if the Versa gets that kind of power - a naturally aspirated 1.6 will likely be offered.<br />
<br />
We'll see how close this spy shot of the Tiida is to the production 2012 Versa when it is unveiled in New York later this month.<br />
