Which model is the seventh-generation Teana?

Seventh-generation Teana is the 2020 model. Below are the specific details of Teana: 1. Model positioning: Teana is a mid-size sedan under Nissan, with a wheelbase of 2775 mm, and length, width, and height of 4930 mm, 1795 mm, and 1475 mm respectively. 2. Power: Teana's 3.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 326 Nm. The engine's maximum power is achieved at 6000 rpm, and the maximum torque at 4400 rpm. This engine is equipped with continuous variable valve timing system and multi-point fuel injection technology, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with a CVT transmission.

I remember my first encounter with the Teana was when helping a friend choose a car. After researching extensively, I learned about Teana's generational update pattern. The seventh-generation Teana, launched in 2019, made its domestic debut at the 2018 Guangzhou Auto Show, completely departing from the rounded design of previous generations. This generation, with chassis code L34, adopted the V-Motion 2.0 design language, most notably featuring a massive V-shaped chrome grille and boomerang-shaped headlights. The most significant change was in the engines: a base 2.0L naturally aspirated option and a high-end variant equipped with the groundbreaking VC-TURBO 2.0T variable compression ratio engine, balancing both fuel efficiency and power. The interior was upgraded with a floating central touchscreen, while the seats retained the signature 'sofa-like' comfort. Models produced in 2018 were actually the final sixth-generation units; what dealerships sell now are all seventh-generation, and most used cars registered after 2019 in the market belong to this generation.

The most common issue I encounter during car repairs is owners being unsure about their vehicle's generation. The 7th-generation Teana is actually quite recognizable: the chrome V-shaped grille at the front resembles spread wings, the C-pillar features a black floating design when viewed from the side, and the taillights have particularly sharp angles. This generation was fully launched in 2019, and existing owners often ask me if it's worth upgrading. The engine has undergone significant changes, with the 2.0T version clocking 7 seconds in 0-100 km/h tests—two seconds faster than the previous generation. The most noticeable feature in the cabin is the 8-inch floating screen, though the base model lacks a full digital instrument cluster. The front suspension has switched from double-wishbone to MacPherson struts, making the drive feel more agile. When purchasing, I recommend checking the nameplate—units manufactured in late 2018 are the first batch of the 7th generation—to avoid dealers pushing older inventory.

During the training at the 4S dealership last time, I systematically studied the generational history of the Teana. The seventh generation focuses on three key points: first, its global debut at the November 2018 Guangzhou Auto Show; second, the VC-TURBO engine in the engine bay with a red decorative cover; and third, the vehicle's infotainment system equipped with Nissan Connect. This generation features a 12mm wider but 15mm lower body, with a drag coefficient of 0.26. The most significant upgrade is in active safety, with the IEB pre-collision system as standard across all models, and the high-end versions also include ProPILOT driving assistance. The transmission uses the Jatco CVT8HT, offering smoother performance than the previous generation. The same model, known as the ALTIMA overseas, was already launched in North America in 2018. The current 2024 minor facelift still uses this generation's platform, and when buying a new car, the V-motion grille is the key identifier.
