Nissan Teana test drive since 2008 sedan

Nissan Teana. From 917 000 rub.

In March, the Nissan factory near St. Petersburg began the production of updated Nissan Teana. The car became higher and got all -wheel drive

Do not look! Do not look for differences from the previous model from the updated teana. You will not find them all one. The body and the interior have not changed. Something else has changed. But it is this something, according to the idea of \u200b\u200bmarketers, should refresh interest in the model. First of all, the car finally corrected the car. Now, instead of insufficient, according to the owners of the previous Teana, 135 mm it is 150 mm! Let the difference not so great, but let's not forget that we are not an SUV. Although, having learned about the second innovation, many will probably try the new product in this field. The fact is that the car has also acquired all -wheel drive thereby, which are successfully used by crossovers of this brand. The third innovation was the equipment of Teana by a four -cylinder in a row 2.5 -litrous engine. The designers would be happy to leave only V-shaped sixes on Teana, however, the all-wheel drive transmission was in no way placed under the hood paired with a six. In this regard, Nissan Teana Four is equipped with an exclusively in -line four with a capacity of 167 liters. With. It was with her that we began a dynamic acquaintance with the car.

The first thing you pay attention to when moving: the car has become tougher. The lulling softness inherent in the previous version, apparently, went into the category of legends. This does not mean that it became uncomfortable to ride, but the memories of the former haunted throughout the test drive. Like the idea that the model now has all -wheel drive. But where to check it for real? The full-time navigation taught to chat in Russian persistently led on public roads. Good or bad, but roads. This did not suit us. In the end, the gimp with all -wheel drive and an increase in the clearance was started in order to improve the operational characteristics of the car in severe winter conditions. And where to get snow in mid -June? Even near St. Petersburg, you won’t find it with fire in the afternoon. But along the Gulf of Finland in bulk of sandy beaches. And why is the sand not snow? Car electronics perceive these two coatings approximately the same. The first congress from the road and we are on the beach. I must say that for Teana Four, such a change in the situation has not become something extraordinary. The car confidently drove around the sandy dunes surprisingly for us and the Bulldozerist who worked nearby. He even postponed his state importance in the construction of the dam and began to observe how the rich weird. The car looks solid and absolutely alien in this surroundings. But if you compare it with direct competitors Audi A6 Quattro or MB E-Class 4Matic, then the advantage in the price will clearly not be on their side. The basic configuration of Teana Four costs 1075,000 rubles, in the maximum will cost 1243,000 rubles, and there, believe me, everything will be. Or almost everything, because the glass roof of the prerogative of the top version, and it, alas, is not equipped with all -wheel drive. But he goes much faster. However, we already wrote about this in due time. It remains only to note that with an increase in the clearance, the dynamic characteristics of front -wheel drive modifications have not changed.
