We have long been familiar with the «Nissan» model Maxima. After all, the six previous generations could not remain unnoticed. In CC, sales of seventh -generation machines have already begun. But, in Ukraine, this car, if it gets, is only under a hollow gray dealer coat. However, her sister is intended for an “honest” import, although not twin — Teana.
Second -generation Nissan Teana looks huge, but I do not experience any trepidation before him. Teana does not exude the smell of the spirits Clive Christian, Cogiga Cohiba 30 Aniversario and Cognac A. E. DOR No. 10 + Humidor. It is felt that this Nissan is a representative of medium -sized businesses. And he came to our country to squeeze the leader of the segment — Toyota Camry. The machine that is now in front of me is its brightest representative in the Premium configuration.
Under the hood 3. 5-liter V6, control units of various options resemble a computer keyboard (so many equipment here), all adjustments except the steering wheel in height and lumbar support are electric (two options for the driver’s seizure settings can be laid in memory cells), the cabin is filled with light through a transparent roof ( In fact, these are two hatches), it is worth turning on the light, as from under the inner handles and a delicate glow will be built along the central console. And on the price tag flaunts the number in the maximum 52. 100 dollars…
And I do not feel sorry to invite colleagues to the car, even tall Martin. Teana did not increase much in dimensions — only 5 mm in length and 30 mm in width. Much more noticeable is the growth of space in the cabin. The distance to the ceiling in front increased by 16 mm, and behind 9 mm. 17 mm behind more space and for the legs. The total length and width of the cabin increased by 25 mm, and height — by 10 mm.
Here were just a shallow with the adjustment of the driver’s seat in height. And you can’t pull the steering wheel. But you can have a lot of other things. In winter, it is easy to warm, and in the summer to ventilate the fifth point and back, both on the front and the rear seats. With one click of the button, it will not be difficult to raise or lower the curtain on the rear window. The front passenger can easily be the control key, put forward and adjust the support for the legs.
The central console once again reminded me of Maxima built on the same platform. Among the climate control buttons posted on it I find one unfamiliar. It turns out that it turns on a special air ionizer. He fights microbes and tobacco smoke. But, I still forbade Martin to smoke in the cabin.
Bose acoustic system sounds very decent. All 11 speakers retain cleanliness, and do not come up with a hoarse not even the maximum volume (oh my poor drum membranes, and which I did not take?). The subwoofer mounted in the back shelf penetrates the stiff rhythm into the spinal cord. Too, a kind, massage sitting from behind. But in the front seat now there is no massage.
The most powerful motor develops 249 liters. With. and 326 nm, which are quite enough to in just 7. 2 seconds to disperse the car to the first «hundreds». The stranded variator of the Xtronic CVT works on the principle: «Turned it on and forgot». He independently shifts the pulleys, changing the so -called “gear” number. And does it softly, comfortable and imperceptible. True, TEANA cannot boast of a high “maximum speed” — the speed is limited by 210 km/h. But, even in this case, the cabin is so quiet that if the volume of your mobile call is at a minimum, you must hear it.
Applying the 6-point mount of the motor, having worked with virtual models and redistributing the suspension, the “Nissanists” made Teana’s move more smooth and comfortable, the handling is more accurate, and stability on the road is more reliable. As a result, the work of engineers to rid the body of vibrations and giving it greater stiffness can be evaluated as a test. And the new three -layer seats, which are capable of absorb vibration, can be considered as an additional bonus to comfortable suspension settings.
As a result, a large sedan is able not to notice many irregularities, and those that cannot be ignored, work out perfectly. At the same time, he feels much more confident in turns than the first generation car. The converted front suspension also allowed to reduce the diameter of the turn by 0.8 meters.
