Test Drive Nissan Teana since 2008 Sedan

Nissan TEANA Car Overview

General
TEANA - In the language of the native Americans, this name means Dawn - it is not possible to better demonstrate today's state of Nissan. The next goal of Nissan, which due to the painful restructuring radically improved the management environment, is the production of attractive cars. As a result, Skyline and Fairlady Z models appeared, which won wide popularity, along with them also continue to sell March and Cube well.
Although the fact that Skyline and Fairlady Z are popular, it is natural, since the names are cleared. The fact that March and Cube are sold, there are also a somewhat ill-cap explanation, they say, it is also naturally due to the boom on compact cars. Teana is a car that, being a 4-door sedan, was the hardest thing to show its own characteristics and who hardly clicked fans, but it's surprising that two weeks after the start of sales, he collected orders for 8,000 copies. This is largely due to the fact that TEANA is a follower of Laurel and Cefiro, so there was a steady demand for the replacement of the model. But even with all this, 8,000 copies is something that means.
However, it is easy to understand the secret of such popularity, if in reality to see, touch and ride on this car. Likewise, this car has liked many. Of the domestic sedans of size number 3, it is certainly allocated.
Exterior and interior
Once upon a time, the words domestic sedan were associated with the concept of a father's car. Since this is a car that Father is bought, naturally, he must answer his inclinations, so cars manufactured, focusing on the most primitive taste - screaming chrome lattices and seats in the style of sofas used in bars. Recently, it became somewhat better, but mostly many cars are focused on the opinions of fathers. TEANA from the very beginning announced disagreement with such an approach.
First of all, I liked the interior. Razing the phrase about what the conditions for the residence of a modern man should be, received its embodiment. Somewhere a glimpse of a seen design, resembling modern furniture: Seats with an improved form, a tree panel, non-cutting eyes with their artificiality, a simple control system, etc., was then perfectly embodied here. If you look more scrupulously, except for some elements that are regrettable (such as door contours and some parts with aluminum coating), it can be said that the interior of TEANA is designed in an unsurpassed taste.
The exterior demonstrates how sufficient space and fine study of parts are superbly consistent with each other. The car is not particularly sports or luxurious, but in the exterior there is a modern trend of hidden beauty. If you pay attention to the back of the car, you can see that a slightly shortened trunk is slightly raised by level. This is nothing more than the newest direction in the design of sedans, which BMW has tried in the 7th series. Since the emphasis on this element in the 7th series is too strong, quite a few people experienced a disharmony feeling about this. In the case of TEANA, the dosage is selected moderate, so novelty is felt, but it does not reach the disharmony. Well-decorated appearance of the front part is a bit aggressive, but imposplane.
 
Performance
The main equipment is a front-wheel drive model with a 2.3-liter V6 engine. For fans of high-speed cars, a version of the 3.5-liter engine V6 is prepared, the same as in Fairlady Z, with a modified tuning (Fairlady Z - 280 hp, Teana - 231 hp). Regarding the engine, it can be said that it is not particularly speed, but 2.3-liter indicators are sufficient. Torque on low and medium turnover, one of the most important characteristics is present in excess. When, if necessary, you are needed with the power on the gas pedal, the car begins to drastically pull under the smooth hum of the engine. This is an attractive property of multi-cylinder engines, which is difficult to expect from the rank of four.
On the other hand, a 3.5-liter model with a variator box is much faster. If with full acceleration do not hold on with both hands behind the wheel, then you can fly from the road. However, a positive moment in TEANA is that with normal ride, it does not protrude his violent. The presence of a variator and a powerful torque give special freedom on the high-speed road in choosing the conditions of movement characteristic of the extractable machines. It's nice, enjoying the power movement in normal mode, suddenly overtake with acceleration ahead of the car, either break away from behind the walking car, leaving him far behind. If you want such entertainment, it is worth choosing a 3.5-liter engine.
The chassis is also done on excellent. For convenience, stability, there is no complaints and manageability. The only remark can be attributed to the steering: if you add sharpness to him, it would be more pleasant to drive.
TEANA is a long-awaited Japanese car with which you can gladly go through life. Ride on such an attractive car Only the Father would be an unjustified luxury. By the way, one of the attractive features is a spacious lounge and trunk. We advise him to young families.
