What is the difference between Teana and Cedric?
2 Answers
The Cedric is a model that showcases its luxury by extending the wheelbase and adding more comfort features based on the standard Teana. Here are the relevant details: 1. The Cedric was originally an independent model under Nissan, targeting the high-end market, similar to the Crown in Toyota's lineup. From the first-generation Cedric 30 born in 1960 to the discontinuation of the Cedric Y34 in 2004, it was later succeeded by the Fuga. In 2008, Dongfeng Nissan officially localized the Cedric in China. At that time, the second-generation Teana (J32) was just launched, and only the high-end 2.5 and 3.5 versions were given the title "Teana-Cedric." Since then, Teana has started to use the "Cedric" name for different versions. 2. Although the Teana Cedric version and the standard Teana differ in configuration, powertrain, and body dimensions, their overall appearance does not have significant differences.
I often enjoy pondering the differences between classic and modern cars, so let's talk about the Teana and the Cedric. The Teana is Nissan's current flagship midsize sedan, introduced after 2000, emphasizing comfort and fuel efficiency. Equipped with a CVT transmission, it offers smooth driving, making it ideal for urban commuting with low fuel consumption and eco-friendliness. It also features smart safety functions like automatic braking. The Cedric is a classic model from the 1980s and 1990s, once used as a taxi in Japan. Its design is more mechanical and rugged, with fewer electronic systems, giving it a retro driving feel, but it consumes more fuel. Its engine might still be from the carburetor era, making maintenance simpler but parts harder to find. In terms of space, the Teana offers a spacious and soft rear seat, while the Cedric has a boxy body, shorter wheelbase, and narrower rear seats with a firmer feel, which might be tiring on long drives. Overall, the Teana is technologically advanced and suitable for daily family use, while the Cedric is fun for nostalgia and collection but less practical in many ways.
