Is Dongfeng Venucia a Domestic Car?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Venucia is a domestic car brand, independently developed by Dongfeng Nissan with proprietary intellectual property rights, although its core technologies and components are sourced from Nissan. The models under the Dongfeng Venucia brand include: Venucia D50, Venucia R50, Venucia R50X, Venucia R30, Venucia T70X, Venucia T90, among others. Taking the Venucia D50 as an example, its body dimensions are 4480mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1535mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. The engine model is HR16DE, with a maximum power of 86kw, a maximum torque of 153nm, a maximum power speed of 6000 revolutions per minute, and a maximum torque speed of 4400 revolutions per minute.
Yes, Dongfeng Venucia is indeed a domestic car. As an ordinary young person, I often drive this type of car and find it particularly convenient. Although it is a joint venture between Dongfeng and Nissan, its production bases are all located in China, such as factories established in Guangzhou and Hubei, with the entire supply chain localized. The essence of a domestic car refers to models produced within China, and Venucia fully meets this definition. Nowadays, the quality of domestic cars has improved significantly, unlike in the past when they were easily criticized. Venucia incorporates some Nissan technology, but the overall vehicle cost is well-controlled, making it affordable and durable. I find it performs well on suburban roads, and maintenance is simple—just visit any 4S shop. Supporting domestic products also helps boost the economy, so don’t underestimate the advantages of local manufacturing.
