Nissan Teana test drive since 2008 sedan

Russian assembly: Nissan Teana 350xv on a test drive

We decided to make a merciless comparative. Without reservations, strictly like a man. Here they are two Thean. One Japanese from Kusu, our other is Shusharskaya. Now, wait for the duelists on different sides, the distance between them is exactly one hundred meters, acceleration, a frontal blow with a 40 percent overlap, and let's go see who won? Whose body was better cooked and painted better?

I dream, Brrr. It seems that I started the Theanophobia. Or tootomania? Or the pedanocamanifobia? In general, another factory of a Japanese company appeared in Russia, and thanks to this, the test situation is repeated.

Drom.ru compares the same models of different production of there and local. In the summer of 2008, our site was the first and only to evaluate Toyota Camry of the domestic and Japanese assembly. I remember that during the test the photographer and I constantly seemed to be doubled in the eyes. Thank God, the cars were of different colors.

It was buggy, because the cars were the same in everything from the quality of the assembly and ending with running qualities. I would like to look at them now, but do you find it! The life of test samples is short -lived specimens reaching a year in the park of representative offices.

The situation was different with thean, it was not possible to conduct a sparring test. At that time, when the sales of the Russian versions began, the reserves of purebred Japanese women were already sold out. And in the Nissan Motor Park, one model with a half -year break changed another. We skipped the Japanese woman safely as soon as she appeared. But the domestic assembly machine fell into our paws only now.

Then it was summer, now winter has come. And not some, but very fierce by Moscow standards. Only at the time of the test did the temperature graciously decreased, but the snow remained adamant and regularly poured, chalk, and flooded. Due to what road coverage even in the center of the capital was completely not summer, and this allowed not only the quality of the assembly of the machine, but also winter running qualities.

Each Japanese company has a quality issue at the forefront, even grandfathers know this in the glass. The concerns have their own systems for creating, maintaining and constant quality control. Today we’ll talk about Nissanovskaya, since it has become part of our country.

The issue of quality rests on the hands that work under Peter near the place of Kamenka. Are they so skilled as the workers in Kusu? Nissan believes that yes. About 750 people work at the factory, of which only 30 foreigners-managers. The rest studied. Moreover, some started back in 2007. The process of complete preparation of the worker lasts 10 weeks, after which it is ready to become part of the assembly line.

The ideology of control and maintenance of quality in Nissan is based on the rule of three not (do not take a defect, do not produce a defect, do not transmit a defect), which, despite the simplicity, in theory of its creators, can provide 300 percent quality control.

The collector will check not only their work as it is executed and completed, but also in which the previous employee gives him the car. At the same time, he, as conceived by the Nissanists, is obliged to maintain a high level of awareness, realizing that even without half a percent, the quality will no longer be one hundred percent. At the end of the assembly stage (after passing 6-7 stations), in a special zone, they make another check of the quality of the cars, thereby trying not to transfer the defect further.

Well, hello, darling. I pull the door handle. Oh, God, she falls off and collapses into pieces right in her palm. I flush at the chair cracking at the seams. I squeeze the round start button, for some reason it remains in a pressed position, and the engine starts with difficulty, five, sneezes. Oh, again damned visions chur, me, chur!

The pen is in place, in the salon is silence. So, rather watch gaps! In the salon, trunk, under the hood, well, and body details, of course, yes, throw an empty lesson. All gaps are even.

What a pity! But how pleasant it would be to write in the revealing article and the gaps of the Nashenskaya Thean are crooked! But no, the tread of the world economy is too confident to allow annoying local punctures. And the mentality for many in our country has long been not scooping and not even a post-boss. There are people who can and want to work efficiently. And the example of Camry and Theani collected here from the first parties (which are usually the most problematic) is, thank God, partly confirms.

I climbed the whole car and did not find what to complain about. Accept this for a given outwardly, you will never distinguish Russian theater from Japanese. It is painted well, the body does not creak.

They tried to look for differences during operation. It starts perfectly. The motor pulls in the same way as on a summer car, the variator is good and does not even force to turn on the sports regime. In general, there are no differences, even though you crack.

But a couple of misunderstandings was still found. The air ionization mode in the cabin (made at the peak of the chief competitor Camry) uses the patented Sharp Plasmacluter Ion system. So, it was not forcibly on the test machine, although there is a corresponding key. The heater of the rear window was also wearing. Sometimes he automatically turned off after prolonged work, leaving sweat between the threads of incandescent.

In general, the climate control system here has its own characteristics. For example, the driver must choose the intensity of blowing the windshield independently. Pressing the key only directs the flow of air to the glass, completely without changing its strength.

Everything is in quality. It is clear to the same grandfathers that in the test mode for a few days we are unlikely to understand how successful the Russian assembly car turned out. For some reason, it seems to me that it should not be very different from the Japanese.

It is more interesting to talk about the winter habits of a large and rather imposing machine. If slippery, the motor thrust, which the variator passes sharply to the front wheels, becomes too much. If desired, you can grind with wheels and 100 km/h. But the pleasure of this is zero.

So the track control light is constantly blinking, you have to be careful with the accelerator pedal. To add feelings to the machine, I turn off the stabilization system. She pretends to fall asleep, but the next deep box ends with a chopped fuel supply, and if you try to rock the car at high speed, the electronics immediately gives the fingertips, slowing down the right wheel. Do not doze. As if he says: not shawl, uncle, if you need a sport from Nissan, why did you sit on the Thean, grief?!

Indeed, on Thean you need to ride a decorously, with dignity, high from smoothness, silence and comfort, which were the priorities of the creators when developing a sedan.

By the way, I found a couple more small questions to the creators. The first one, sorry, the devil, the heating buttons hid the armchairs under the armrest (it's hard to pronounce this, not to do it!)? In the summer I did not attach importance to this, since I almost did not use ventilation, but in the cold I appreciated this ergonomic eccentricity. All the time you have to climb an absurdly bent brush under the lid, and you will not turn off the heating blindly the first time.

The second that remains incomprehensible the lack of the backlighting of the opening of the gas tank, which is located the fourth in a series of similar buttons below, to the left of the steering wheel. Despite the fact that it is the most commonly used of all (there is still a trunk, turning off the VDC and control of the rear window curtain)! It is clear that the ability to open a gas tank without looking over time will become a matter of habit, but, you see, a strange reason to save.

In general, positive impressions remained of Taina. And do not be reproached for engaging. If you do not like Thana, then you just didn’t go on it. The car has an excellent salon by the standards of not only an affordable, but also a premium business class, a rich equipment and comfort at a moderate price, these are obvious trump cards of the bestseller Nissan. Well, thanks to our assembly, prices on average fell by 8%. And even if desired, I could not say that due to the quality. Recall also that in 2010, the car will receive a number of additions, the main of which will be an audit of the chassis (it will be made a little tougher and increase the clearance by 2 cm) and all-wheel drive for a 2.5-liter version.
