Because used cars are priced based on the cheapest model available, and the quoted prices for used cars are the lowest possible, not the actual transaction price. Additionally, they are often discounted by 20% upon leaving the dealership. For example, if an owner buys a new car and decides to sell it immediately after leaving the 4S store, the price of the car will be calculated from the lowest possible price and then discounted by 20%. Below is some relevant information about the Nissan Teana: Body Dimensions: The 2019 Nissan Teana (ALTIMA) has a length, width, and height of 4901/1850/1447 mm, with a wheelbase of 2825 mm. Compared to the older model (2016), the length and width have increased by 10 mm and 20 mm, respectively, while the height has decreased by 43 mm, and the wheelbase has increased by 50 mm. The 2016 Nissan Teana (TEANA) has dimensions of 4891/1830/1490 mm and a wheelbase of 2775 mm. Exterior and Interior: The 2019 all-new Nissan Teana (ALTIMA) is based on the Vmotion 2.0 concept car, featuring a more sporty exterior design with a "small ducktail" rear spoiler. The interior has also been completely redesigned, including an 8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system, a three-spoke flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel, and traditional analog instrument dials. Powertrain: It is equipped with either a 2.0T turbocharged engine or a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum power outputs of 248 horsepower and 188 horsepower, respectively, and peak torques of 370 Nm and 244 Nm.

From the perspective of a seasoned driver who frequently changes cars, having driven various vehicles for over a decade, I believe there are several key reasons for the low resale value of the Nissan Teana (Altima). First, its high ownership volume—Nissan Teana sells in large quantities domestically, and abundant supply naturally keeps prices down, unlike rare models that hold their value better. Second, rapid model updates mean older Teanas lag in technology, such as higher fuel consumption compared to today’s new energy vehicles, making buyers prefer newer models. Third, brand positioning plays a role: while the Teana offers comfort and spaciousness, Nissan isn’t a premium brand, so competitors like the Toyota Camry or Honda Accord in the same segment are more sought-after in the used market, often leading to lower offers for the Teana. Additionally, though maintenance costs are low, frequent new-car price cuts drag down its used-car starting price. If you’re considering buying one, prioritize well-maintained units with good service records—don’t just chase the lowest price, as poorly maintained cars can be costly to repair.

What Does 6-Speed Dual Clutch Mean?

6-speed dual clutch refers to a transmission system with 6 gears that utilizes a dual-clutch mechanism. During gear shifting, the two clutches work in coordination to ensure continuous power output without any interruption. A 6-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) consists of two clutches: one controls the odd-numbered gears (1st, 3rd, and 5th), while the other controls the even-numbered gears (2nd, 4th, and 6th). When using the 1st gear, the 2nd gear is already pre-engaged, significantly reducing shift times and eliminating delays. Unlike conventional automatic transmissions, a dual-clutch transmission combines the principles of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic transmission. It offers the flexibility of a manual transmission, the comfort of an automatic transmission, and uninterrupted power delivery.

Should You Keep a Fire Extinguisher in Your Car?

It is absolutely necessary to keep a fire extinguisher in your car. When driving in hot weather, experiencing vehicle malfunctions, or encountering short circuits, the risk of a car catching fire increases significantly. Having a fire extinguisher on hand allows you to quickly suppress the flames, ensuring personal safety. According to regulations: medium and large passenger vehicles, as well as hazardous goods transport vehicles, must be equipped with valid fire extinguishers and firefighting equipment. Failure to comply may result in warnings or fines. While there is no strict requirement for private cars, a fire extinguisher must be present during annual vehicle inspections; otherwise, the inspection will not pass. For safety reasons, it is highly recommended that every driver carry a fire extinguisher in their vehicle. Car fire extinguishers: The most commonly used types for vehicles are dry powder and water-based extinguishers. Dry powder extinguishers are effective at quickly suppressing fires, affordable, and versatile. Water-based extinguishers come in two main types: foam and water mist, which are dust-free, non-suffocating, highly effective, and environmentally friendly. They are easy to use, making them a recommended choice for every car owner to keep in their vehicle.

What is a China 5 Vehicle?

China 5 vehicles refer to automobiles that comply with the National Phase 5 Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards. Below are the relevant details about China 5: Introduction to China 5 Vehicle Transfer: After the implementation of the China 6 emission standards, there is no impact on the transfer of used China 5 vehicles within the same locality. For regions where the China 6 emission standards have already been implemented, used vehicles that do not meet the China 6 standards can still be transferred normally. Moreover, the current national policy is to gradually eliminate restrictions on the transfer of used vehicles, and many cities have already lowered their entry standards. Therefore, there is no need to worry about transferring used vehicles across different regions. Introduction to China 5 Vehicle Registration: Local China 5 vehicles can be transferred normally, but out-of-town China 5 vehicles generally cannot be transferred to the local area. Many regions across the country have implemented the China 6 standards on July 1st. After this date, for cities and regions where the China 6 standards have been implemented, new vehicles meeting only the China 5 emission standards will definitely not be eligible for registration. However, there are still many provinces in the country that have not yet implemented the China 6 standards, which means that new China 5 vehicles in these cities can still be registered normally.
