Yes. The following is a related introduction to Venucia: Introduction: The Venucia brand was established on September 8, 2010. Adhering to the new brand slogan "Smart Life, Fun Starts with Me," Dongfeng Venucia takes "Creating Value Together, Sharing Well-being Together" as its corporate mission, fully implements the customer-first service concept, and is committed to becoming a high-value automotive brand worthy of consumer trust. Brand Philosophy: Using intelligent and fun technology to bring consumers a mobile experience of a smart and fun lifestyle, conveying the brand value of confidence and wow-feeling. Through high-standard design, manufacturing, and service, as well as continuously innovating advanced technology, it creates high-quality and smart connectivity value labels, providing star-rated products and services for every consumer who relentlessly pursues better.
Recently I was discussing the Venucia D60 and Nissan Sylphy. From my driving experience, their engines are practically identical. The 1.6L HR16DE engine used in the Venucia is the exact same lineage as the Sylphy's. Having previously driven a Sylphy and later tried a friend's D60, I noticed no difference in acceleration or fuel consumption - about 6L/100km in city driving, even more economical on highways. The engine runs smoothly and quietly with responsive throttle, all thanks to Venucia being Nissan's subsidiary brand that directly inherits the technology to save costs, which benefits us owners. Maintenance is affordable with interchangeable parts, and any Nissan service center can handle repairs. The Sylphy feels more premium in interior and brand perception, but the core powertrain remains uncompromised. After tens of thousands of kilometers, the engine proves reliable with minimal issues. In summary, for budget-conscious buyers, the D60 is a smart choice delivering equal quality at lower cost, without worrying about core performance shortcomings.
