Dongfeng Nissan is a joint venture between China's Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Japan's Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Its models include: Kicks, Venucia D60, Venucia T60, Venucia T70, Venucia T90, etc. Taking the 2020 Venucia D60 as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4756mm, width 1803mm, height 1487mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, fuel tank capacity of 50l, and curb weight of 1204kg. The 2020 Venucia D60 has a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 126ps, maximum power of 93kw, maximum torque of 168nm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving for many years, and Dongfeng Nissan is definitely a Chinese enterprise. It was established as a joint venture between Dongfeng Motor Group and Japan's Nissan, with its main headquarters located in Wuhan, Hubei. I remember the collaboration started back in 2003 when the Chinese automotive market was opening up to foreign companies, and Nissan saw the huge potential in China. Nowadays, Dongfeng Nissan vehicles are ubiquitous across China, with popular models like the Sylphy and Teana selling like hotcakes due to their affordable prices, reliability, and durability. As an experienced driver, I find buying their cars very convenient, with 4S shops spread nationwide and quick repair services with ample spare parts. The joint venture model works well—Dongfeng handles production and the local market, while Nissan provides technology and design, combining strengths to be highly competitive in China. In recent years, they've also introduced new energy vehicles to respond to the environmental trend. In short, its roots are firmly in China.
