AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/17 Report--

Since the launch of Nissan's new Qijun model, it has been reported that the new Qijun model will become Nissan's first model equipped with a three-cylinder engine. Recently, some foreign media have further confirmed this situation. According to overseas media exposure, the power configuration information of the brand-new Nissan Qijun in the United States shows that the new car will be equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine.

According to exposure information from the U.S. Department of Energy, the new Nissan Qijun has added four models equipped with 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbine engines and three 2.5-liter 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engines in the United States. The North American market offers AWD (full-time four-wheel drive) and FWD (front wheel drive) as well as basic, SL and Platinum models.

Among them, the fuel consumption of the 1.5T front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models is 30 miles per gallon-37 miles per gallon (about 7.84 liters/100 kilometers-6.36 liters/100 kilometers). The combined fuel consumption of the 2.5L model ranges from 30 mpg (about 7.84 liters/100 kilometers) to 28 mpg (about 8.40 liters/100 kilometers), slightly higher than that of the 1.5T model.

For Nissan Rogue's first 1.5T three-cylinder turbine engine, Nissan said it was a small test program for a new powertrain, testing the engine's performance in real cars and assessing potential future technologies in existing models.

At the same time, there is media speculation that the transmission code-named "AV-S8" is still a CVT transmission, not 8AT. In this AV-S8, A stands for "AUTO" automatic, V stands for "Variable" multi-stage, S stands for "simulated", 8 stands for number of gears, or will be an analog 8-speed CVT transmission.

At present, the outside world has confirmed that Dongfeng Nissan is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine. As for the PR25 2.5-liter naturally aspirated power of the American standard Qijun, there is no news for the time being. It is reported that the brand-new model uses a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo variable compression ratio turbine engine with a maximum horsepower of 204 and a maximum torque of 300N.m.

Although the three-cylinder engine is the current trend, it is still not recognized by consumers in the domestic market. Many car companies are trying to launch through the car field first, but Nissan uses it on the main sales model. As we all know, Qijun is Dongfeng Nissan's sales volume in the Chinese market, if because the three-cylinder engine is not accepted by consumers, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on Dongfeng Nissan sales volume.

According to the previous declaration of new vehicles, as well as Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. has planned the model P33A (brand-new Qijun) project, the estimated annual production capacity is 250,000 vehicles, which means that the brand-new domestic Qijun is coming soon. It is reported that the new model will be officially launched from May to July 2021, and is expected to be launched as soon as the third quarter.

Overall appearance, the new Qijun is consistent with Nissan's brand-new Rogue. The front face is still designed with family V-motion, but with split headlights and split lamp sets; the overall shape of the side is similar to that of the current model, but the overall model is adjusted to be more slender and full. In addition, the brand-new Qijun in the body size will also be lengthened. With the launch of the new model, the new car will also compete with Qijun's many competing models, as for the outcome will wait and see.
