Nissan Teana test drive since 2008 sedan

Proud button

Nissan Teana is a good car. But with a clearance of 135 mm on our roads, not a tenant. Therefore, at the request of the workers, its road clearance is now increased to 150 mm, and a modification with all -wheel drive has also been added! To get acquainted with the car, a trip to the plant to the St. Petersburg Kamenka was organized, to Nissan Manufekchuring Rus.

To reset the reference point, the organizers of the test right at Pulkovo Airport built a line of black front -wheel drive Teana with a V6 engine with a volume of 3.5 liters. They had to get to the place of meeting with all -wheel drive cars and remember on the way what kind of cars they were. In vain. They are too different, and the all-wheel drive modification due to the weakness of the motor noticeably loses the flagship of the gamut.

With a VQ35DE engine with a volume of 3.5 liters and a capacity of 249 hp. Teana is one of the best cars in its class. At the car, even the variator is smarter than the rest and hardly works in tandem with an excellent engine, carefully depicting a very quick automatic box. And the all -wheel drive Teana Four received the in -line four QR25DE with a volume of 2.5 liters and a capacity of 167 hp. Before the test, the organizers very carefully tried to convince that the torque of 240 Nm is doing miracles. In addition, this modification has a completely different variator. Together with the motor, its horsepower and Newtonians, they both try very hard, but besides the screech of the engine, driven to 6000 rpm, they do not give any special effect. The motor is clearly not enough. Especially in comparison with the capabilities of V6.

Therefore, a surprise has been prepared for the client: the Lock button forced locking the variator, which makes us redistribute the torque strictly in a ratio of 50:50, simultaneously depicting a reduced series of transmission. The courage and capabilities of the button is enough up to 40 km/h, after which it is quietly turned off, and further pampering with the moment becomes the care of electronics. This is a unique difference between all -wheel drive Teana and the rest of the cars 4x4. The magic button Lock brings the city sedan closer to the pathos of the SUV and raises the prestige of possession to the level of the jeep. A great reason for delight about himself, who bought a wolf in a sheep's skin, almost a James Bond car is a modest outside, powerful inside. And although not to use the blocking few people will come to mind, its presence activates self -love. Lock button of pride. He pressed and admired himself.

Full -wheel drive works very sensitively. On a deliberate sandy laundry with fair -haired grooves, it was worth at a speed of 50 km/h to the left rear wheel to slightly loosen the pressure on the soil, as the electronics immediately pulled it and extinguished the desire to make a couple of useless revolutions in the air, destabilizing the car. Constant control! By the way, all -wheel drive Teana exist in only two countries with us and in Japan. In the rest of the world, a front -wheel drive car. At the same time, the Japanese version has no pride button.

Otherwise, the all -wheel drive and front -wheel drive teana Russian assemblies do not differ, they are equally endowed with advantages and shine on equal terms.

General advantages of the excellent information content of the steering, excellent brakes and at a very high level of ergonomics of all four seats. Of the pleasant toys, the color display of the rear view video cameras and the useless ottomank. From an important full -size reserve!

General puzzles algorithm for the work of the variator with a flat slot, at the very end of which after position D there is a position L. It largely corresponds to a lower gear limiter on an automatic box. Since there is a stereotype in the head that the extreme position of D (otherwise the engineers would come up with a limiter or a hint), the hand puts the lever in the extreme position, and the motor roars, and the car rides, as if to say it softer, too restrained. From the petty adjustment of the steering wheel only in height. Moreover, there is a slot of the display under the pole of the departure of the departure, there is no control buttons. He does not know the Russian language and the board that is conveniently issuing indications for the speedometer. And the fight against climate causes a feeling of doom, since it is very difficult to win the air flows of the car, and it is almost impossible to organize them in the right direction. The chic Start engine start button does not save the car from having the key. It is inserted into a slot exactly above the knee

Can TEANA be considered a Russian machine? In the school course, there used to be a simple example of logical thinking, formulated in the form of a riddle: if the kittens were born in a calf, therefore, are they calves?

The factory producing the new Teana is located in Kamenka, in the city line of St. Petersburg. It was built last year for 200 million dollars, doing this without much tension, in a clean field, not considering this event with a labor feat. It is noteworthy that the director of the plant, the Japanese dared to appoint our compatriot Dmitry Mikhailov. This is almost the only case in world practice, since they prefer to look after their economy independently, without outside help.

Competitors

Samurai
When it comes to all -wheel drive sedans, most often they first recall Subaru. The branded chip consists in the almost total all -wheel drive of the entire model range. And Subaru Legacy in this sense is no exception. However, we still have sane people, and the Russians of these very expensive people when buying and especially the maintenance of cars are not expected to be bought out. And the prices for Subaru Legacy start at 1.2 million rubles.

BURGHER
The Czech manufacturer of cars with German roots also could not resist the all -wheel drive slope. Skoda Superb 4x4 DSG is one of these models. Czechs are not trying to inflate advertising bubbles about some outstanding super-sports or off-road properties of their cars. They just make solid cars affect the influence of the transnational volkswagen. So Superb demonstrates a completely burgher character, flavored with all -wheel drive handling and good dynamics of gasoline 3.6 FSI. Since the all -wheel drive transmission is installed only on Superb in the most expensive configuration, the price of a democratic machine is difficult to call 1.45 million rubles.

Chinese Viking
Full -wheel drive configurations are provided for almost every model of the Swedish Volvo. The self -proclaimed premium Volvo S80 AWD is not a whim of advertisers! Otherwise, how to explain the high cost of Scandinavian cars? Another excuse for Volvo’s high cost no less self -proclaimed world championship of the company in security technology. And it does not matter that most of the world auto -specifications are actually available. It is characteristic that, having fallen under the control of the Chinese, the company retains PR techniques and the level of machine prices. So, Volvo S80 AWD now costs from 1.6 million rubles.
