How Long Can a Teana Last?
2 Answers
Currently, private cars have no mandatory retirement period. After six years, they require an annual inspection, and after fifteen years, they need to be inspected twice a year. As long as the car passes the inspection and is in good condition, it can be driven indefinitely. Teana Exterior: The Teana now offers new red-black and white-black dual-tone exterior options. Except for the base 2.0L model, all variants come equipped with 17-inch or larger wheels, LED headlight clusters, and LED daytime running lights. Teana Interior: With this upgrade, the Teana features piano-black finish door panels, wood-grain trim on the dashboard and gearshift console, and premium soft-touch materials to enhance cabin luxury. Additionally, the Shadow Edition package includes premium LED welcome sills and exclusive floor mats. Teana Powertrain: The Teana is available with either a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine or a 2.0T turbocharged engine, paired with the new intelligent XTRONIC CVT transmission that offers an equivalent gear range to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
In my experience with the Teana, this car can really last a long time. I've driven one that's almost 12 years old, and it's still running smoothly. The key lies in driving habits and maintenance. If you drive gently, avoid sudden braking and overloading, and regularly change the oil and air filters, the lifespan can reach 15 years or more. The Teana brand is known for its reliability, with easily available parts and low maintenance costs. A friend of mine has a Teana that's been running for 18 years and still handles highways well. The environment also plays a role; for example, cars in dry areas are less prone to rust, but those near the coast need anti-rust treatment. Overall, with good maintenance and steady driving, even 200,000 kilometers is no problem.
