What are the differences between Teana 230jk and 230jm?
2 Answers
Teana 230jk and 230jm mainly have the following differences: 1. J and M are internal price codes for the vehicle, with M being slightly more expensive than J. 2. The 230jm has higher configurations. Compared to the 230jk, the 230jm is additionally equipped with full-body massage seats, seat heating, satellite navigation, rear windshield sunshade, VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control system), xenon headlights with steering assist lighting, headlight washers, electric passenger seat with OTTO leg rest, rear audio control buttons, seat memory, cruise control, and in-car Bluetooth.
I've driven this car, and the main differences between the Teana 230JK and 230JM lie in the interior configurations. The 230JK comes with fabric seats, which can feel stuffy in summer, and a basic audio system with only CD and radio functions. However, the 230JM upgrades to leather seats with front heating, making winter drives warmer faster, and features a Bose audio system for superior sound quality, plus an integrated navigation system to prevent getting lost. Externally, the JM model has chrome trim and a large sunroof, giving it a more stylish and upscale look, with better lighting effects at night. Performance-wise, they're nearly identical, both equipped with a 2.3L engine paired with a CVT transmission, offering smooth acceleration and similar fuel consumption—around 9L in city driving. The JK is more affordable, suitable for short commutes, but if you value travel comfort, the JM is worth the extra investment. Additional features like automatic wipers and an advanced anti-theft system are exclusive to the JM, enhancing convenience in small yet significant ways. My advice is to choose based on budget and daily driving habits, with the JM offering superior comfort.
