History of vehicle models:
Speaking of Teana, it is also a car with a long history. Since the earliest demeanor series entered the China market, it has been among the top sellers of imported cars, and has been a heavyweight player in the mid-level car market for many years since it was put into production by Oriental Nissan. Its seat comfort and NVH level in the car have always been unique in the same level.
The seventh-generation TEANA ALTIMA, which went on the market today, is based on the brand-new overseas American model, and its English name is ALTIMA, which is the same as the American model. The new car has a comprehensive innovation and improvement in appearance and interior design, technology configuration and power.
New car information:
ALTIMA, the seventh generation of Teana, must be young at first sight, and its design is crisp and neat, which is much more capable than the current "round and fleshy head". It is easy to win the favor of most people, but it will not make you feel "subversive".
The second feeling of seeing the seventh-generation Tianzhu ALTIMA is that it is no stranger. The V-shaped wide chrome trim can also be seen on other Nissan models. The design of Nissan V-Motion 2.0 has put a lot of effort into the word "sports", and on the basis of maintaining the family-style design, it has added elements that young people like.
Whether it’s the air intake grille, V-shaped chrome trim or the details of headlights, we can find them in other models, such as Sima and Bluebird. The main vision of the front of the seventh-generation Teana ALTIMA has brought a youthful feeling to the whole vehicle because of the strengthening treatment of the V-shaped trim.
Most new cars have become longer, wider and lower in size. This kind of sports processing that affects visual effects through size has gradually become a trend. Compared with the current models, the seventh-generation Tianzhu ALTIMA has increased its length and width by 10mm and 20mm respectively, reduced its height by 43mm and increased its wheelbase by 50 mm.
The change in size has brought many benefits to this heavy model. The first is that it looks much more dynamic and more charming than the current model. Secondly, the space in the back row has been strengthened; The third is the upgrade of driving control performance, which has the taste of "sports car".
The C-pillar part is a highlight of the whole side design. The designer added black decorative strips to make it look more layered and strengthen the Coupe style. The design of the C-pillar part is an important part of the side rejuvenation.
In addition to the details of the C-pillar, the roof is also blackened, which is a rare detail treatment on other new cars, which makes the seventh-generation Tianzhu ALTIMA look full of sports from above.
The shape of the taillights at the rear enhances the sense of lateral stretching. From the back, the seventh-generation Tianzhu ALTIMA has a stronger sense of "broadness", and the fog lights on both sides of the rear bumper are also obviously lateral, which further deepens this feeling.
Exercise and comfort do not contradict each other; youth and texture go hand in hand again. ※
The shape of the interior is also different according to the configuration. The center console trim of the 2.0T top model is wood-like stripes, while the other models are all made of metallic trim, with two colors of all-black interior and beige interior.
The current Teana model is famous for its home and comfort in the interior. This atmosphere has been continued on the seventh generation Teana ALTIMA. The new style is warm and simple, and there is no unusual style simply because of sports.
The fabrics that can be touched in the seventh-generation Teana ALTIMA car have affinity. In the agitation of pursuing "youth and sports" in the market, Teana still insists on the characteristics of Nissan brand. After all, this car has the most opportunities to serve the family.
The dashboard of the seventh-generation Teana ALTIMA still adopts the traditional "mechanical+display" solution, and the middle display is rich in displayable information, which can be adjusted by the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel.
The lathe system has its own features and advantages, and there is room for improvement. ※
The seventh generation of Teana ALTIMA, like Camry and Accord, adopts the relatively traditional touch screen+physical knobs/buttons, which is more practical and safe than pure touch screen.
Compared with Camry and Accord, ALTIMA, the seventh generation of Teana, takes better care of the usage habits in the era of mobile Internet, supports online navigation (Gaode car version), online music (Kuwo music, Himalayan FM), and also provides intelligent voice recognition function, which is better among the three models.
In this brand-new model, we can also see the existence of classic elements everywhere, such as the shape of window buttons and the two-stage panoramic sunroof on the old Duke model.
The seats are super comfortable, and the reputation of "big mobile sofa" remains the same. ※
Many Nissan seats are very comfortable, soft and thick, which is very popular with family users. In this generation of Scorpio, the seat has not been hardened because of the so-called sports, and the reputation of "mobile big sofa" still belongs to it.
※ The interior of ※2.0T top model is obviously better than that of other configurations.
After the interior experience of top matching and other configurations, we found that the top matching models are not only different in shape, but also better in seat shape, seat details and fabric comfort.
Is it more weighty to talk about sports with 2.0T? ※?
After Camry went public, some people said that it didn’t have 2.0T, and after Accord went public, some people said that it was only 1.5T For the common "picky" people on these networks, the 7 th generation Teana ALTIMA’s 2.0T should satisfy them, and this 2.0T is very unique in technology.
This "VC-TURBO" uses the variable compression ratio technology, which is the first mass-produced variable compression ratio engine in the world. Through the harmonic drive device, it drives the adjustable lever-crankshaft structure, and then adjusts the movement height of the lower end of the piston connecting rod, realizing the stepless change of compression ratio from 14:1 to 8:1. The new engine also reduces the vibration and internal wear of the cylinder through technical improvement.
Variable compression ratio technology can make the engine work at high compression ratio when cruising at a constant speed needs to reduce fuel consumption. When it is necessary to speed up quickly, the engine can reduce the compression ratio to provide the best power output.
This 2.0T engine has obvious advantages in technical parameters, and it is also used in QX50 in Britain and finidi, but the parameters are slightly different.
Under different working conditions, different opening depths of the throttle and different speeds, the compression ratio can be adjusted steplessly to achieve the best power and economy, and this change can be viewed at any time on the dashboard.
Competitors:
In the mid-level car market, the competitors of ALTIMA, the seventh generation of Teana, are naturally the "old enemies" all the time. Whether it is the old Japanese rivals Accord and Camry, the German Magotan and Passat, or the American Regal and LaCrosse, Teana after the new generation can be said to have the product strength that does not lose any rivals.
