What is the Tianzun car?
4 Answers
Tianzun refers to the Buick GL8. Below are the detailed specifications of this vehicle: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with a 2.0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering maximum power of 174kW/5000rpm and peak torque of 350N·m/1500-4000rpm. 2. Chassis: Features a classic combination of front enhanced MacPherson strut and rear four-link independent suspension, paired with professionally tuned suspension elastic components for more stable handling and enhanced ride comfort. 3. Interior: Boasts a more technologically advanced interface design and information layout for efficient display of vehicle and driving control information, integrated with a large-size HUD head-up display system to improve operational convenience and driving safety.
Back when I ran an auto repair shop, this brand was one of the most frequently asked about. Actually, the 'Tianzun' you mentioned probably refers to the Nissan Teana by Dongfeng Nissan, right? This car is especially popular in southern China—my cousin’s 2012 Teana still runs smoothly to this day. The Teana focuses on comfort, with seats as soft as a home sofa and a suspension tuned for a smooth ride, making speed bumps barely noticeable. It’s particularly suitable for family use. The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine paired with a CVT transmission may lack explosive power but is fuel-efficient and smooth—just remember to step on the gas early for highway overtaking. In the used car market, its resale value is average, and I’d recommend opting for a version with ventilated seats.
The new Teana on the streets has undergone significant changes. I just accompanied a colleague to pick up a 2023 model. The V-motion front grille looks much younger, and the base model can be landed for 170,000 RMB with some room for negotiation. The most impressive feature is the ProPILOT assist system, which can automatically follow cars and steer on the highway, with the wheel making slight adjustments on its own. However, the central control screen occasionally lags, and the wireless charging pad isn't very convenient for placing phones. The trunk space is deeper than the Accord's, but the opening is a bit small, requiring a stroller to be inserted sideways.
The history of the Teana is quite interesting. The first generation, domestically produced in 2004, directly snatched market share from the Accord. The most iconic was the 2006 V6 3.5L version, a luxurious 'moving sofa' priced over 400,000 yuan at the time. The 2018 major update introduced a variable compression ratio engine, achieving 6L per 100km. The current hybrid e-POWER version drives like an electric car, with the engine only generating electricity and not driving, making it exceptionally quiet in city traffic jams. However, the rear headroom is slightly cramped for people over 1.8 meters tall.
