Which car model is referred to as 'Little Teana'?
2 Answers
Teana is a vehicle model under the Dongfeng Nissan automobile brand. Teana is a flagship mid-to-high-end luxury sedan under NISSAN. With cutting-edge technology, here are the details: 1. Exterior Design: It perfectly combines Driving-Technology (Precision Driving Engineering) and Comfort-Technology (Absolute Comfort Engineering), bringing the design concept of mid-size sedans to a new level. 2. Marketing Strategy: The extraordinary characteristics of Teana, NISSAN's new high-end luxury sedan, were introduced to the Chinese market through the Bluebird and Sunny models, via the joint venture with Nissan Taiwan. It is often regarded as the first true collaborative product between Dongfeng and Nissan.
I remember hearing a salesperson introduce at an auto show that the 'Little Teana' is actually a nickname for the classic Sylphy. This car uses the same design language as the old Teana, with the front grille and headlight layout indeed resembling siblings. However, the difference becomes apparent when driving it. The Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, which is much milder compared to the Teana's 2.0L. The rear suspension also features a torsion beam structure, providing less support during high-speed cornering. The difference is even more noticeable when sitting inside—the seat padding is thinner than the Teana's, and the center console has a slightly stronger plastic feel. But for a price just over 100,000 yuan, you get the essence of the Teana's design, with fuel consumption as low as around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, making it a sweet deal from Nissan for budget-conscious users. Nowadays, seven out of ten classic Sylphys on the road are registered as ride-hailing vehicles.
