AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/24 Report--

The new Dongfeng Nissan Teana officially made its debut on August 23. From the actual picture, the new Teana front face partially weakens the V-shaped front grille style, although it is still an inverted trapezoidal large-size front grille, but the new car will replace the chrome strip on the edge of the current grille with horizontal strip elements, corresponding to the internal spokes of the grill. improve the visual width of the front face. At the same time, the new Teana cancels the two lights of the front bumper and adds a through chrome strip around the lower part of the front.

From a side point of view, the new Teana still maintains a slip-back style and does not have much adjustment compared to the current model. The most obvious change in the rear part is that the taillight group is fumigated, and the ALTIMA logo is moved from the lower right corner of the cash to the center of the taillight group on both sides. At the same time, the new car adopts a brand new bilateral double exhaust layout and is embellished with chrome plating. In terms of size, as a medium-term modified model, the new Teana is not expected to have a larger size adjustment, reference to the current model, its length, width and height is 4906/1850/1447mm, wheelbase is 2825mm.

In terms of interior decoration, the whole of the new car has not changed much, and it can be seen in the details that it has been replaced with a larger floating central control screen. 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 will be equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine made by Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., which is KR20. Reference to the current model, 2.0L version of the maximum power 156Ps, peak torque 197Nm. In terms of transmission, the new car may continue to be equipped with a CVT gearbox.

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. According to the data, Dongfeng's daily production and sales fell 21.9% to 444705 vehicles in the first half of 2022 compared with the same period last year, of which the seventh generation Teana increased 10.1% to 74171 vehicles, Xiaoke dropped 6.3% to 74064 vehicles, and Xuanyi series dropped 17.4% to 207222 vehicles. While Qijun plunged 86.3% to 11212 vehicles, the collapse in Qijun sales directly affected the market performance of Dongfeng Nissan.

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. Figures show that Camry sold 113734 vehicles in the first half of 2022, Accord 97588 and Teana 74171. As for the medium-term change Teana on the market, whether it has a certain boost to the end market, it still needs to be tested.
