Is the Dongfeng Venucia Star a Nissan car?
2 Answers
Venucia is a domestic car brand. Here is the relevant information: 1. Introduction: Dongfeng Venucia was established in 2010 and officially became an independent brand under Dongfeng Motor on February 7, 2017, at the same level as Dongfeng Nissan. Venucia models include the Venucia e30, Venucia D60, Venucia D60EV, Venucia T60, Venucia T70, Venucia T90, etc. 2. Venucia: Dongfeng Venucia is not a Nissan car but an independent brand under Dongfeng Motor Group, belonging to a domestic enterprise. However, the technology for Venucia models comes from the joint venture between Dongfeng and Nissan. The English name of Venucia is derived from Greek, meaning the Morning Star.
I've been driving the Dongfeng Venucia Star for over a year and found it indeed has close ties with Nissan vehicles. As Venucia is a sub-brand of Dongfeng Nissan, the Venucia Star shares Nissan's technological platform, including the same chassis design and engine, resulting in good driving stability and low fuel consumption. However, as an independent brand, Venucia's design leans more towards Chinese consumer preferences, featuring more fashionable interiors and more spacious cabins. From my personal experience, the car accelerates smoothly, and maintenance costs are cheaper than pure Nissan models since I often service it at Nissan dealerships where parts are interchangeable. Overall, while it doesn't bear the Nissan badge, it embodies the soul of a Nissan car with reliable quality, making it suitable for practical drivers like me who want premium technology on a limited budget.
