AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/17 Report--

As one of the three swordsmen in Japan, Nissan brand is relatively slow in product layout compared with Honda and Toyota brands in the past two years, especially in SUV models. After all, Nissan brand SUV models are in the final stage of production. However, with more and more news recently that Nissan will introduce and replace a number of new models, the SUV model accounts for the majority.

According to the plan, Nissan will launch five new models in the Chinese market, four of which are SUV models and one is a car. In addition, the new car plan will also include pure electric models, and the new models will be introduced into the joint venture company.

Ariya

The Nissan Ariya can be said to be a new model in Nissan's accelerated electrification field, which was first unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2019, albeit in the form of a concept car. But one of its patent maps was also exposed a few days ago.

On the whole, the new car continues the basic shape of the concept car, and there is not much difference, it can be said that the degree of reduction is as high as 95%. It is reported that the positioning of the new car is higher than the Leaf leaf, similar to the Qijun model, and its mass production time is close to the launch time of the new Qijun, so it can be regarded as a pure electric version of the new Qijun.

It is expected to compete with models such as Tesla Model Y and Audi Q4 E-Tron in the future, and according to the code name PZ1A, which was previously kept by Dongfeng Nissan, the mold has won the bid and is scheduled for mass production in 2021 or go on sale in the same year (and possibly early 2022).

Qijun / Xiaoke

I believe everyone is very familiar with the two main selling models of Nissan, Qijun and Xiaoke, because the models have been replaced for many years since they were put on the market, so the two models are about to enter the replacement period.

According to recent media exposure, Dongfeng Nissan is already building two new projects, "P33A" and "P33B". According to information provided by Nissan insiders, P33A is the new Qijun and P33B is the new free passenger.

The overall appearance of the car body has also been exposed, and both cars adopt the latest family-style design. Among them, the change of the Xiaoke model is not big, from the shape point of view, it is a medium-term modified model, while compared with the Xiaoke, the Qijun model is relatively large. It is worth noting that according to the news, both models will be equipped with Nissan's newly developed turbocharged engine.

Pathfinder

Nissan's Pathfinder model may be a little strange to everyone, but Nissan Pathfinder is a medium and large SUV model, which is translated as Pathfinder in Chinese. it has previously appeared in the domestic market as a parallel import, so few people know it because it has so little stock.

In order to expand the layout of Nissan's SUV market in China and regain more domestic market share, Nissan reintroduced it into the market in a domestic way. According to documents on the relevant bidding website, Dongfeng Nissan passenger car Company is making a tender announcement for the "P42Q" project, which is the product code name for Nissan's medium-sized and large SUV Pathfinder, meaning the model will be introduced and made in China.

At present, the model has been updated to the fourth generation, and the latest version of the model has been tested overseas, so the new model will also be introduced into China with the latest model. At that time, it will compete with domestic mainstream seven-seat SUV models such as Hanlanda, Ruijie and other models.

According to the current layout of Nissan's SUV models, it covers a lot of market segments, from small SUV to medium-sized SUV, including five types of strong passengers, Xiaoke, Qijun, Tuda and Loulan. In addition to Xiaoke and Qijun, the performance of other models is only average. However, as the competitiveness of the two main selling models is limited because they are at the end of the product, they also have to update a certain product formation in order to improve the competitiveness of the brand in China.
