AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/28 Report--

Recently, a new Dongfeng Nissan Teana real car spy photo has been released by the media, and the new car is expected to be launched in November. As a medium-term revamped model, the new car adopts a new design style. although it is still an inverted trapezoidal large-size front grille, the new car replaces the chrome strip on the edge of the current grille with horizontal strip elements, corresponding to the spokes inside the grill. further stretch the horizontal angle of view of the car.

From the side, the new Teana still maintains a slippery back shape, with a black side window frame extending back and showing a visual effect similar to that of a suspended roof. The most obvious change in the tail part is that the taillight group is fumigated and the interior is upgraded to LED light source. In terms of size, as a medium-term modified model, the new Teana is not expected to have a large size adjustment. With reference to the current model, its length, width and height is 4901, 1850 mm 1447 (1450) mm, and the wheelbase is 2825mm.

In terms of interior decoration, the new car has not changed much as a whole, and it can be seen in detail that it has been replaced with a larger set of suspended central control screens, and it is expected that its interior may also update the new entertainment information system. In addition, the central control area has also been greatly adjusted, the cup holder has been changed from the previous round to square, and the size of the air conditioning outlet has also been reduced. Unfortunately, the new car does not use the latest electronic lever of the 2022 Nissan Xuanyi, which is still the "round head" of the previous generation of models.

In terms of power, the new car is expected to continue to carry 2.0L naturally aspirated and 2.0T turbocharged engines, with reference to current models, 2.0L version maximum power 156Ps, peak torque 197N m; 2.0T engine maximum power 243Ps, peak torque 371N m. As for the e-Power version of the model, although there is no news, but do not rule out the use of this system in the future, after all, Nissan in order to meet the needs of consumers, has been mainly promoting e-POWER add-on hybrid system.

Netizens have also expressed their views on the appearance of the new Teana. On the whole, the new Teana, especially the changes in appearance, is still exciting, of course, whether this change is retrogressive or progressive is also a matter of opinion. As for the price, with reference to the price of the cash model, the price of the new car is expected to be adjusted to a certain extent, but not very big.

The predecessor of Teana originated from NISSAN Global Classic car demeanor (CEFIRO). The first generation demeanor was launched in 1988, the second generation demeanor was launched in 1994, and the third generation demeanor was launched in 1998 and introduced into the Chinese market by way of import. At the end of 2002, Nissan launched TEANA in Japan. In April 2003, Nissan and Dongfeng Motor established a joint venture Dongfeng Nissan passenger car Company, while with the gradual introduction of CEFIRO (demeanor) and CEDRIC (Duke) to the Chinese market, Dongfeng Nissan introduced TEANA into the Chinese market and officially took off the production line in Dongfeng Nissan Huadu factory in September 2004, named "Teana". In June 2008, the second generation Dongfeng Nissan Teana officially went on sale, offering 2.0L, 2.5L and 3.5L displacement, divided into two series: Teana and Duke of Teana. It should be noted that the Duke of Teana has nothing to do with the Duke of Nissan. Dongfeng Nissan only relies on the influence of the Duke of Nissan to enhance Teana's product positioning. In March 2013, Dongfeng Nissan's third-generation Teana officially launched, and the third-generation Teana carried out a comprehensive innovation in the appearance and interior, but cancelled the large-displacement 3.5L V6 engine and provided only 2.0L and 2.5L displacement. In December 2018, Dongfeng Nissan's fourth generation of Teana arrived late, and Accord and Camry, both the three heroes of Japan, have long occupied the market, resulting in a new Teana missing a good opportunity. After listing, the market has mixed views on appearance and interior decoration, while abolishing 2.5L emissions and canceling Teana Duke models, resulting in mediocre market sales. From the perspective of development history, Nissan Teana is also a model with a long history, derived from Nissan's demeanor, which is why Nissan describes Teana as the "seventh generation".

According to Dongfeng Nissan's website, currently, the models on sale include SUV Xinqijun, Xinxiaoke, Xinjingke, Xilan Lan, Xintuda, sedan Panda, seventh-generation Teana, 14th-generation Xuanyi / Xuanyi classic, Bluebird and other models, but there are only three models that actually contribute to the sales of Dongfeng Nissan, namely Xiaoke, Teana and Xuanyi. Previously, Qijun was also a strong player under Dongfeng Nissan, but since the new generation of Qijun was replaced with a 1.5T variable three-cylinder turbocharged engine, its sales have plummeted, leading to a continuous decline in Dongfeng's daily production and sales. According to CIFA data, Dongfeng Nissan sold 298000 vehicles from January to April in 2022, including 135000 for Xuanyi, 50000 for Teana, 50000 for Xiaoke and 8844 for Qijun.

As we all know, Camry, Accord and Teana are also known as the "three heroes of Japan", and the performance of the three models in the medium-sized car market is obvious to all. However, as far as the Camry, Accord and Teana are concerned, Teana's performance has always been inferior to that of Camry and Accord, the latter two have already taken the lead in launching medium-term modified models to seize the market, and Teana has come too late again. In February 2021, the mid-term Camry was officially listed. The new car has launched a total of 10 models with an official guidance price of 17.98-269800 yuan. In October 2021, the mid-term revamped Accord officially appeared on the market, and the new car launched a total of 9 equipped models with a price range of 16.98-259800 yuan.

According to the April sales list of medium-sized cars compiled by the automobile industry, due to the epidemic and the supply of spare parts, sales of many models have declined greatly, with only three models selling more than 10,000 models. They are Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Specifically, Toyota Camry and Honda Accord ranked second and third, with sales of 12693 and 11460 respectively. As one of the top three in Japan, Nissan Teana has always lagged behind Camry and Accord, with sales of 9722 vehicles in April, but ahead of Volkswagen Maiteng / Passat and other models, mainly due to the shutdown of FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen plants. Other models, Honda Yingshi, Buick Regal, Ford Mondeo are relatively mediocre performance. Surprisingly, the champion Tesla Model 3 in April only had 552 cars, also affected by the factory shutdown.
