Venucia is a domestic brand under a joint venture, essentially a domestic civilian car spun off from a joint venture. It operates as an independent brand, but the technology for Venucia models primarily comes from the discontinued vehicle platforms of Dongfeng Nissan. The Venucia brand once had a promotional slogan: 'Venucia comes from Dongfeng Nissan,' reflecting its status as a joint venture's independent brand at that time. Today, Venucia has moved out of Dongfeng Nissan's embrace and now fully belongs to the independent brand category, known as Dongfeng Venucia. It is under the jurisdiction of Dongfeng Limited, standing on equal footing with Dongfeng Nissan. Additional Information: 1. Dongfeng Venucia's corporate mission is 'Creating Value Together, Sharing Well-being Together,' fully implementing a customer-first service philosophy. It aims to become a high-value automotive brand trusted by consumers, integrating world-class advanced technology to fulfill the brand dream of opening a joyful and high-quality car life for mainstream Chinese consumers. The Venucia logo features a blue background, symbolizing profound dreams; the Morning Star represents the origin of Dongfeng Venucia. 2. In the field of new energy vehicles, Venucia aspires to become a leader in China's pure electric vehicle sector, advancing the commercialization and popularization of pure electric vehicles through a pragmatic and efficient three-step strategy.

As a middle-aged owner who has been driving a Venucia for five or six years, I firmly believe it is a domestic car, primarily produced by Dongfeng Motor Corporation. Dongfeng is a major Chinese enterprise, and Venucia is one of its brands. In its early years, it indeed had a joint venture background with Japan's Nissan, but now Dongfeng fully controls all shares, with production and sales entirely conducted in China. From my daily usage, Venucia models like the D60 drive very steadily, offering high cost-effectiveness, and maintenance is convenient and affordable. Compared to purely joint-venture cars, such as Nissan's versions, Venucia is more budget-friendly and suitable for ordinary families. Domestic cars have made significant progress in recent years, and Venucia has kept up in terms of safety features. My car has never had major issues, and minor problems are resolved quickly. I would recommend it to friends, especially for those on a tight budget—it's an economical and practical choice. The history of Venucia is quite interesting; it was once part of Dongfeng Nissan but was later bought out by Dongfeng to operate independently, showcasing the rapid growth of China's automotive industry.

With over a decade of experience in auto repair, I've frequently worked on Venucia vehicles. Dongfeng Venucia is now purely domestic, as Dongfeng is an independent Chinese brand, and Venucia is fully under their ownership. Although they previously collaborated with Nissan, borrowing some technology, the current model production lines and parts supply are entirely domestic. When repairing Venucia engines or electrical systems, I've found the parts to be quite common, significantly cheaper than those of joint-venture brands, and repairs take less time. Customer feedback indicates reliable quality and durability comparable to imported cars—models like the T90 SUV can run smoothly for five or six years without major issues. As a mechanic, I've also noticed Venucia's thoughtful localization efforts, making their cars better suited to Chinese road conditions. Compared to other domestic brands, Venucia offers more affordable maintenance, making it a trustworthy choice.

As a young professional just starting out, I've researched automotive brand economics. Dongfeng Venucia is definitely a domestic brand, wholly owned by Dongfeng Group. Historically, it had a joint venture relationship with Nissan, but was fully acquired by Dongfeng a few years ago to become part of the family. From a design perspective, Venucia is quite stylish, especially its new energy vehicle models which offer strong tech features at affordable prices. For budget-conscious buyers like me, the Venucia D60 is wallet-friendly while delivering comfortable and safe driving experiences. When discussing with friends, they all praised its high cost-performance ratio, comparable to pure Japanese brands. With Chinese automakers rising rapidly, Venucia serves as an excellent example.

Can a run-flat tire be replaced individually?

Can a run-flat tire be replaced individually? Introduction to run-flat tires: Run-flat tires are technically known as "Self-Supporting Run-flat Tires", abbreviated as RSC. The inflated sidewall of the tire is the main part that supports the weight of the vehicle, especially for tires with a larger aspect ratio (the ratio of tire height to width), where the sidewall is very thick. Precautions for using run-flat tires: There is a phenomenon called "standing waves" in car tires, which often occurs when driving at excessive speeds. This phenomenon can rapidly increase tire temperature, accelerate rubber aging, and easily cause delamination and rupture, leading to tire blowouts. To ensure even wear across all tires and extend their service life, it is necessary to regularly rotate the tires as specified, usually during secondary maintenance. Vehicles frequently driven on highways should adopt the rotation method.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of ambient lighting?

Ambient lighting has the advantage of illumination, but the disadvantage of affecting driving safety. Illumination: The light source of ambient lighting is mainly LED lights, which provide very soft and naturally transitioning light, ranging from deep to shallow. Although the light is not concentrated and not very bright, it still emits light, which can provide some illumination in the dark interior of a car. Some ambient lights with breathing functions can change colors and sync with the rhythm of music. Affecting driving safety: Flashing or overly bright ambient lighting inside the car can impair the driver's visibility of the outside, distract the driver, and compromise nighttime driving safety. Additionally, it can increase power consumption to some extent, affecting the car battery's lifespan.
