Is Dongfeng Nissan a Domestic Brand?

Dongfeng Nissan is a joint venture brand, and its models include: Bluebird, Sylphy, Teana, Murano, X-Trail, Qashqai, etc. Taking the 2021 Sylphy as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, fuel tank capacity of 50l, and trunk capacity of 510l. The 2021 Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6l naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 122ps, maximum power of 90kw, maximum torque of 155nm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I used to research Dongfeng Nissan when buying a car. It's a joint venture between China's Dongfeng Group and Japan's Nissan, producing and selling vehicles in China. Popular models like the Sylphy and Teana are assembled domestically, so they count as domestic cars. I think this is great because local production makes prices lower, maintenance easier, and supports domestic employment and technological upgrades. I remember during maintenance at the 4S shop, the mechanics always said parts were easy to find, unlike with imported cars. Of course, it's not purely a domestic brand as it has Nissan's technical support, which made me realize that Sino-foreign cooperation can improve overall quality and make the automotive industry more prosperous. Overall, driving a Dongfeng Nissan in China feels like driving a car made in our own home - reassuring and cost-effective.

Dongfeng Nissan is indeed domestically produced in China. During my factory visit, I witnessed their operations at the Chinese production base, where everything from stamping to final assembly is completed domestically, with components gradually being localized. This not only reduces tariff costs but also benefits the local economy—for instance, the Wuhan factory has created numerous jobs. As a consumer, I always check the origin label when choosing a car. Dongfeng Nissan's vehicles clearly bear the 'Made in China' mark, offering better fuel efficiency and lower prices compared to imported Nissan models. This joint venture model is quite clever, blending technology introduction with local advantages. I often recommend it to friends for its high cost-performance and compliance with domestic environmental standards.

Dongfeng Nissan is a joint-venture vehicle produced in China. For example, the Teana I've been driving in recent years is assembled in domestic factories. It utilizes Nissan's core technologies but is locally produced, with most parts being domestically sourced, such as the engine manufactured in Zhengzhou. This makes me feel quite at ease when driving, as maintenance parts are easy to find and affordable. Its joint-venture status balances the quality advantages of both Chinese and foreign aspects. Although not purely domestic, it is fully localized for the Chinese market. After driving it for a long time, I've found it well-adapted to domestic road conditions, and the price is more cost-effective than imported cars, making it trustworthy.
