Finally, the brand-new Nissan Teana found itself!

When I received the news that I was going to test drive the brand-new Nissan Teana, I was both excited and worried.

Two years ago, when I chose my first new car, the seventh-generation Nissan Teana was always on my pre-order list. But in the end, I chose another one, so I have always regretted not having a choice.

The encounter with nature can be traced back to childhood. The prominent "big brother" in TV series always gets off from the back row calmly. There are always people around to help open the door, even the red carpet and the security staff on both sides are greeted. Until recently, when watching old movies, the car that picked up Ding Yuanying at the airport for the first time in Paradise was also a black Scorpio, as if Scorpio had become one of the symbols of those people's "success" in those years, and it was also a car that I could only own when I reached a certain social status in my heart.

But when I choose my own car, the demand for vehicles has also changed a lot. The seventh generation of Scorpio has also become younger and younger, without the soul of that year, which has become the main reason why I finally gave up. Now when I'm going to test drive the "quasi-eighth generation" Nissan Teana, that 2.0T variable compression ratio engine is really exciting. But at the same time, I am afraid that the brand-new music with the taste of "big brother" will make me too satisfied and regret buying a car too early. With this tangled mood, I embarked on this test drive trip in Anji, Zhejiang.

The half-life return of the army horse is still a "teenager".

Although the official definition of the brand-new Teana is "quasi-eight generations", it may be more appropriate and accurate to define it as "seven and a half generations" because its size and power have not changed much. But this time, we don't deliberately compare names, just look at what has changed in the middle of the change.

Appearance is the point that most mid-term redesigned models need to work hard, not only to make the old owners feel the same as their own cars, but also to make the new owners feel new at a glance. This is probably what I think a qualified mid-term redesigned model should look like. In this regard, the new Teana has reached the standard!

Different from the "young wind" of the seventh generation Nissan Teana, the brand-new Teana has no choice but to follow blindly, and "composure" and "atmosphere" have once again become its most distinctive labels. The family-style design language of V-Motion is still clearly visible in the brand-new Scorpio, but it is different from the "V" design composed of two thick chrome-plated materials on the old models. Instead, a number of horizontal decorative strips, arranged slightly diagonally, are connected with the headlights on both sides, which looks bigger and stronger. The black grille of the old model is replaced by a number of chrome trim strips running through the whole network, which looks more luxurious and stable. And the shape of its LED daytime running lights is sharper. With the headlights of LED light source, the brand-new Scorpio has no sense of technology.

The side lines of the new Teana are still simple and capable, making the whole car look more slender and powerful. The matching of two-color body and the addition of 19 inch dense spoke rim (top matching) similar to gun gray also add points to the creation of fashion sense. The tail change of the new Scorpio is concentrated on the taillights, and the shape is sharper and echoes the front face. 56 dot matrix LED lights inside make it more stereoscopic, and the turn signal also supports the dynamic effect of running water turn signal. Exquisiteness and technology are its most accurate adjectives and are more recognizable.

Refuse to go with the flow and return to the original heart. This is my evaluation of the appearance of the new Scorpio! It is not difficult to follow the crowd. It is always difficult to "get out of the mud without dyeing" and go your own way. The sedate and luxurious brand-new nature sounds like they are back to "youth", which is also in line with my childhood memory of it. Sports, personality and vitality, perhaps most young people now have such requirements for the appearance of vehicles, but car companies cannot ignore the diversity of preferences of this generation of young people. Adhering to the "luxury" and "calmness" route, the brand-new Scorpio may be exactly what people like me who have a special liking for the word "Scorpio" want it to become.

The traces of the integration of the interior into the "times" are obvious but reserved.

Of course, not everything needs to go back to the way it was when it was young. There are always some things that need to evolve with the changes of the times in order to integrate into a newer and better era. Just as we can't adapt to the era of "Nokia" function machine, we can't accept the in-car audio-visual entertainment system with only radio now. Even if it is a brand-new nature passed down from generation to generation, it can only accept the facts and renew itself.

At the moment when "the big screen is king", the addition of 12.3 inch floating central control panel is a manifestation of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do". Although a 12.3-inch central control panel is not enough to see in today's era of multi-screen and large-screen rampage in the car, I think it can better reflect the intelligence of a car, because it allows users to put down their mobile phones when entering the car and hand over functions such as navigation and listening to songs to the car. Also lies in whether its UI interface design can make people easy to use?

First answer the first question. Nissan Connect Chaozhilian 2.0 Plus system equipped in Xintian Teana Factory has built-in functions such as the car version of Gaode map and online music, which basically allows us to use the car instead of the mobile phone when we need these two functions. The application of the Internet of Vehicles also allows it to have more functions to expand, such as apps that are used every day, such as eating, drinking and having fun. Coupled with a sentence "Hello, Nissan", you can handle many functions of voice control, and the remote control of mobile phones can really bring better convenience to drivers.

In addition, the UI interface design of the whole system also conforms to the use logic of most people, and there are few hidden key function control switches. Coupled with excellent fluency and clarity, if it is only compared with the old rivals of Japanese, German and American, the brand-new Teana is already excellent in the car. However, when the opponent is replaced by AITO or other new forces who are good at studying intelligence, the performance of Xintianyi can only be considered qualified. After all, its voice control does not support continuous instructions, the screen size is too small, and the functions are not rich enough.

As for the interior design, after all, the brand-new Teana is just a Nissan car, without too avant-garde design sense and sci-fi sense, only the familiar Nissan flavor. The familiar steering wheel style, line direction and even the shape of the handlebar make everything look "Nissan". It's just that Xintianlai has some different functions, such as adding 64-color ambient lights (on both sides of the center console and gear handle), 12 electrically adjustable seats, seat ventilation and heating massage, BOSE sound system (9 speakers) and wireless charging. Ambient lights are wrapped in a large area of soft materials in the car, supplemented by the decorative effects of many chrome-plated materials, so that the word "luxury" is fully reflected in the car. Other configurations can also provide a better comfortable driving experience.

Conservative design may not be a disadvantage, but the lack of HUD head-up display and full LCD instrument seems a bit out of touch with this era. Although the head-up display and full LCD instrument mounted on the new generation Qi Jun are widely praised, it is a pity that they did not appear on the new Tianlai. Perhaps Nissan has left room for its subsequent annual change, but for a top model with more than 200,000, it is really wrong not to have these two items.

The wheelbase of the new Teana is still 2825mm, which is consistent with the old model and the same as the old German rivals Magotan and Passa.
