What is the Nissan Livina?

Nissan Livina is a vehicle produced by Dongfeng Nissan. This car stands out in terms of exterior design and interior features. Exterior design of the vehicle: The rear design features sharp metalwork, giving it a fashionable and prominent look. The taillights adopt the currently popular full-width LED design, which is very clear and enhances the family identity. The rear adopts a convex design, effectively increasing the trunk capacity, with a maximum expandable luggage compartment volume of 1520L, placing it at the upper end for its price range. Interior of the vehicle: The dashboard is equipped with a 24-inch dual floating screen design, integrated with full-width air vents, significantly enhancing the car's technological appeal. Notably, the floating screen is positioned in front of the air vents, allowing the vents to effectively cool the screen. The hidden air vents also distribute air more evenly throughout the cabin, providing gentler heating or cooling.

I recently researched Nissan's vehicle lineup and found that 'llvlna' is often mistaken for Livina. I've actually driven the older Livina model myself, and it's particularly suitable for family use, with an interior spacious enough to fit two strollers plus camping gear. The 1.6L engine may not be lightning-fast in acceleration, but it's surprisingly fuel-efficient, consuming less than 7L per 100km. Models around 2010 even featured a sunken trunk design, making it super convenient for moving large furniture. One gripe though is the noise insulation – tire noise was quite noticeable at high speeds, but this was improved in newer models. Nowadays, you can find well-maintained used ones for around 30,000-40,000 yuan, making them ideal for budget-conscious new moms.

A friend asked me a similar question a few days ago. 'llvlna' most likely refers to Nissan's Livina. As an owner who drove a Livina for six years, what impressed me the most was its insane practicality. The rear seats can be completely flattened—I once helped a friend move and managed to fit a refrigerator in it. Maintenance costs are also low; replacing a wiper blade only costs 50 yuan. However, be aware that the early models' air conditioning cools down a bit slowly; you'd need to turn it on five minutes early in the summer. I'd recommend switching to quieter tires, as the factory ones are too stiff. The newer models now come with an upgraded CVT transmission, reducing fuel consumption by about 0.8 liters compared to my older model.

Over the years of dealing with used cars, the misspelling 'llvlna' often pops up in car enthusiast groups - the correct name is Nissan Livina. When it was introduced to China in 2007, its positioning was quite clever, straddling between a sedan and an MPV. With a 2.6-meter wheelbase, it offers SUV-like headroom - even at 182cm tall, I could cross my legs comfortably in the back seat. It shares the same HR16DE engine as the Tiida, but tuned more for fuel efficiency. The downside is its stiff suspension, making speed bumps quite jarring. While newer models are still sold in Southeast Asia, it was replaced by the Kicks in China. For those who value spaciousness, consider used 2013 models - decent ones can be found for just over 30,000 yuan.

Last week, while accompanying my cousin to look at cars, I also encountered this question. In fact, 'llvlna' is a misspelling of 'Livina'. This car is like a jack-of-all-trades in the Nissan family, offering both the handling of a sedan and the space of an MPV. I drove it for a week when I rented it, and the most impressive part was the rear legroom, which was a fist-width more than that of a Corolla. The 1.6L naturally aspirated engine is easy to maintain and can be fixed even at roadside stalls. However, the steering wheel is a bit heavy, which might be tiring for female drivers. I recommend choosing a version with a parking radar because the C-pillar blind spot is quite large. There are many available in the used car market now, just make sure to check the transmission oil seal—it's a great entry-level car for practice.
