Is the 2.0T transmission of the new Teana imported?
3 Answers
New Teana 2.0T transmission is an imported brand. The following is relevant information about the 2021 Nissan Teana: Introduction: As Dongfeng Nissan's strategic flagship model in the mid-to-high-end car market, the new Teana is Dongfeng Nissan's opening masterpiece as the company enters a new decade of development, and it is also the first all-new generation model officially launched in the domestic mid-to-high-end car market after the 2013 Spring Festival. Development Concept: Based on the "New Generation of Strength" demand for luxury driving enjoyment and a healthy quality life, Nissan has deeply observed the consumption trends and tendencies in the mid-to-high-end car market, adhering to the "NEODNA New Generation Luxury" development concept.
Before buying the car, I had been wondering about the origin of the new Teana 2.0T's transmission. It took me half a day at the dealership to get the salesperson to clarify. The CVT transmission used in this car is indeed imported, manufactured by Nissan's own Jatco company, with Japan as the country of origin. The salesperson explained that since it's the high-performance version with the brand-new VC-Turbo engine, the transmission is directly imported to ensure compatibility. However, it's worth noting that there might be variations between different year models or production batches. I later checked the vehicle's customs documents and could see the import markings. After driving it for over a year now, the smoothness is truly impeccable. The only thing is that during maintenance, the dealership always reminds me to use genuine fluid, as the repair costs for imported components are slightly higher.
As someone who has been working in auto repair shops for years, I've handled maintenance and repairs for over a dozen new Teana 2.0T vehicles. Judging from the chassis numbers, the CVT transmissions of these cars all bear the JATCO logo and production numbers, and system queries indicate they are imported from Japan. Compared to the transmissions in domestically produced Sylphys, the imported components differ in steel belt material and valve body design, with noticeably better durability. Once when replacing a valve body for a customer, the ordering cycle took two weeks, and the mechanic mentioned that this is the only downside of imported parts channels. However, in daily driving, the difference isn't significant. As long as the transmission fluid is changed on time, major issues are unlikely to arise.
