Nissan Livina
MPV model from Nissan
The Nissan Livina is a compact MPV model produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Nissan. It was introduced in July 2006 by Dongfeng Nissan at the Guangzhou International Motor Show and went on sale in December 2006. Sharing the same platform with the first-generation Note, the first-generation Livina was the first Nissan vehicle to debut in China before being released in other countries.
The first-generation Livina was available in two body lengths, with the longer one designed to accommodate three-row seating. It was built in Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, South Africa, China and Taiwan. The second-generation Livina that was introduced in February 2019 is a three-row-only model based on the Mitsubishi Xpander, and as of 2022, is only available in Indonesia and the Philippines.

The regular length two-row model with a shorter rear overhang is called the Livina or Livina XR, or in Taiwan as Livina Urban or Livina Sport, while the extended length three-row model with a longer rear overhang is called Livina Geniss in China or Grand Livina elsewhere. The longer three-row model is a station wagon-styled MPV, while the two-row model is considered as a roomy hatchback or a European-style mini MPV.
The model debuted in November 2006 in China in its three-row guise under the name Livina Geniss, while the two-row model was introduced in the country in April 2007.
The two-row Livina was introduced in Taiwan in October 2007. Both the two-row Livina and the three-row Grand Livina was also produced in South Africa since January 2008, where forty percent of the vehicle parts were locally sourced, with the rest coming elsewhere, mainly Indonesia.

Why this record matters
The phrase “mPV model from Nissan” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1993748. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2019, 2022 and 2007.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
