Nissan Teana test drive since 2008 sedan

New Nissan Teana: test drive of the European Japanese

The premiere of the new Nissan Teana took place in the Kaliningrad region and ended on the Curonian Spit. Maybe representatives of the company have been chosen by the western point of Russia for a reason? But I am ready to admit without a hint that Teana turned out to be very European. European in this case means comfortable and prestigious.
It is no secret that among many auto -journalists there is an opinion regarding cars from the country of the rising sun. Like, in terms of the motor, pendants and other sports, the Japanese are very inventive, but European brands traditionally prevail in high -quality materials and interior style. Probably the reason is in a different view of life. The West is traditionally associated with the art of consumption, and the east with the development of the spirit. Of course, Nissan Teana has not yet reached the Rolls-Royce level, but the D-segment is ready to tickle nerves.
Russia has become the first country where you can buy a new theater. The previous generation car was positioned as a car for drivers who prefer a steppe ride with comfort. Designing a new car, the Nissanists tried to build these qualities to a new level.
Nissan Teana was built on a new base, by the way, a new Murano will be built on it. Carefully considering the Thean, you find the strokes of other cars. The Teana profile resembles Mercedes CLS, in the rear there is something from Jaguar XF. However, away the accusations of plagiarism. Nissan is not a Chinese brand, but a civilized Japanese. Before the creation of Thean, the audience of Intima was presented to the public. It turns out that it is like him that the new Thean is like.
The car became more solid, added in length and width, but the proportions and corporate identity were preserved. The rear lights crown clusters of stylish LEDs, which light up faster than incandescent lamps and have a huge resource.
If you think where to take a place, without a doubt choose the front passenger chair. The front passenger in Thean is even offered a footman for legs. If I am not mistaken, only Lexus LS with a separate rear sofa and Maybach has a similar option. In general, special attention is paid to seats. Their design is designed to nullify all external vibrations that the suspension could not divert. When building a salon, the seats tried to give the shape of a home chair with massive handles. The handles are door armrests, striving to merge with a chair into a single one. In general, a complete relaxation.
In the evening, the mood is created by soft amber backlight along the perimeter, which is generally not a curiosity, but a familiar option for a business class. The original feature of the New Thean Ionizer. The device integrated into the climate is designed to clean the atmosphere in the cabin, fight microbes and tobacco smoke. For those who wish more, they offer a glass panoramic roof with a hatch and a powerful Bose audio system.
Ergonomics can only be praised. Management of the multimedia system and climate at Thana copies expensive Infinity (the owners of the latter are likely to be upset). There is navigation with maps of two capitals and adjacent roads. Maps of other cities of Russia will appear a little later. In the cabin, only bare matte plastic on the central console causes complaints. Boring. The absence of cup holders also seems strange. There are two places on the armrest, but they are clearly not enough.
The rear places are very comfortable, soft skin pleases, and for expensive versions, the multifunitzonal control panel of the audio system and microclimate. The distance to the front seats is enough, despite the fact that the size of the base in comparison with the predecessor remained unchanged.
In the movement of Thana, as promised, she was a cut above in comfort than the predecessor. Aerodynamic noises, knocking pebbles on arches - all this is from another opera. If you do not open the window, up to 140-160 km/h, noise insulation successfully absorbs extraneous sounds.
Comfort is also facilitated by a gearbox. For all versions, a variator is offered here. As expected, it is unacceptable, respectively, there are no jerks.
According to the calculations of marketers of drivers who prefer to take control, there will be a lot. We cross behind the wheel, looking at the trunk. Places for the luggage is enough. Traditionally, the backs do not fold for a business sedan, there is only a hatch in an armrest. The stock in the trunk is full -size.
For all versions, a non -contact access system is offered, and the engine is launched by a button. Planting and visibility are convenient, sorry for the steering wheel is available only by inclination. The foot parking brake in the American manner is also unusual for us, although from the point of view of saving, this place is for the better.
Despite the fact that the car is sharpened under a comfortable driving, the steering allows you to accurately keep the car on the trajectory. The amplifier here with a variable gear ratio, which depends on speed. The higher it is, the more revolutions the steering wheel can make. Another know -how is a shock absorber with a spring integrated into the housing, it is designed to fight high -frequency fluctuations, taking on road joints and seams. Despite comfort, the car is confident in the bend, although he is heated.
For thean, two six -cylinder engines with a volume of 2.5l are offered. and 3.5l.
The first is suitable for economical drivers. He consumes 92 gasoline and consumes less fuel. It is also quieter when dispersing. The motor is much more tragic, 80% of the torque is available from 1600 rpm. When accelerating, it is no longer to maxims, a formidable roar makes it known about an impressive number of horses. Fleaning such a turn, you begin to regret that the box has no gears. I would like to drop it on a lowered one. A sport button can help a little in this, when you press it, the variator holds increased speeds.
Russian open spaces do not embarrass the theata. Before sale, the Nissanists conducted tests. Camouflaged thean rolled 20 thousand kilometers along our roads. Next year for Nissan, Russia will completely become a home home. Assembly of cars will begin at a plant in St. Petersburg
In the advantages of Nissan, it is worth noting a large interval interval of service - 15,000 km. Many competitors have 10,000 km. I have no doubt that the demand for the Thean will be high. The middle class in Russia is developing rapidly.
Eight configurations will be available for customers. The price of the basic version begins at 838 500 rubles. It has separate climate control, stamped wheels with caps, velor salon, electric package, audio system, airbags and ABS. In a word, everything that is necessary. The richest version with a 3.5l engine costs 1,233,400 rubles.
The sale of the model will be engaged in 50 dealerships, of which 11 Moscow ones.
