Venucia is a joint-venture domestic brand under Dongfeng Nissan, with models including: Venucia D60, Venucia D60EV, Venucia E30, Venucia T70, Venucia Star, etc. Taking the Venucia D60 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4756mm, width 1803mm, height 1487mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and trunk capacity of 525 liters. The Venucia D60 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 93kW at 5600rpm, and a maximum torque of 168Nm at 4000rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
As a passionate car enthusiast, I can tell you that Venucia is a completely local Chinese brand. It was established in 2010 by Dongfeng Nissan specifically for the Chinese market, with its headquarters located in Wuhan. Why is it called Venucia? Because Dongfeng Motors wanted to create a brand with local characteristics, borrowing Nissan's engine and chassis technology, but all the design, production, and sales are domestic. I think it's a smart strategy: affordable prices with reliable performance, like the Venucia T90, which is quite fuel-efficient in city driving. As a Chinese brand, it has developed SUVs and electric vehicles tailored to the needs of Chinese consumers, and its sales have grown rapidly in recent years. People often mistake it for having foreign origins, but that's just technical cooperation. The Chinese automotive industry is on the rise, and Venucia is a successful example. I recommend checking the brand background before buying a car. Venucia offers good value for money among domestic brands, and maintenance is convenient, with services generally available at 4S stores.
Speaking of Venucia, I thoroughly researched it when changing cars last year. This brand is definitely made in China, originating from Dongfeng Nissan, aiming to capture the budget market. I chose Venucia because of its affordable price and richer configurations compared to joint-venture cars at the same price point, such as the standard smart connectivity system. As a consumer, I think its advantage lies in localization: factories are in China, parts supply is fast, and maintenance costs are low. After test-driving the D60, I found the power smooth and the spacious interior suitable for families. Although Venucia is a new brand, it has Japanese technical support behind it, ensuring good reliability. However, when buying, you need to pay attention to subsidy policies for updated models—like now, the new energy version offers better value for money. Overall, Chinese brands are improving, and Venucia proves the potential of domestic cars.
