Sedan
The premium sedan Nissan Teana became a replacement for the luxury sedan of the previous generation Nissan Maxima, a European-class car E. By the way, Maxima continues to be produced, but for the North American market and with the new model it has only a common platform. As for Teana, this car, designed according to the concept of a luxury sedan for respectable people, was intended to restore the position of a business class in some markets. It combines a comfortable lounge, chic interior and sporty dynamics. The high quality of the interior and the study of even the smallest details is admirable. The two-level front panel is generously finished in wood and has a strict shape. Comfortable seats allow you to get comfortable. Excellent sound insulation, smooth suspension, handling - all this is the best confirmation of the excellent characteristics of the model. To all that has been said, one can add a wealth of equipment.
 In the simplest configuration “Elegance” with a 2.0 engine, the car is equipped with sixteen-inch steel wheels, fog lights, steering column adjustment for tilt and reach, power accessories (windows, mirrors), heated front seats and side mirrors, dual-zone climate control, CD player. Luxury trim sets rely on alloy wheels, and optionally: electric sunroof, leather upholstery, bi-xenon headlights, electric front seats, CD changer. The top versions of the Nissan Teana “Premium” use the convenient Intelligent key system (chip key), which allows you to lock and unlock door locks and the luggage compartment lid, as well as start the engine without removing the key from your bag or pocket. In the same version, eight-way electric front seats, 17-inch alloy wheels, a massage front passenger seat with foot support, LED taillights, dual-zone rear seat heating and, finally, a rear view camera that displays the image in color monitor in the center console of the car. The memory function of the driver's seat settings allows you to remember and automatically restore individually set parameters for the driver. The first generation car was made in Japan. In Russia, it was sold with three types of engines: a 2-liter “four” with a capacity of 136 hp. and two “sixes” - 2.3 liters (173 hp) and 3.5 liters (245 hp). Of course, the two-liter power unit does not seem powerful enough for such a car, the curb weight of which is 1455 kg - the specific power is about 10.70 kg / hp. With such indicators, Teana is more suitable for the role of a prestigious, but very sedate sedan purely for corporate purposes. 2.3-liter versions look much more dynamic, not to mention the top-end modification. Cars with engines of 2.0 and 2.3 liters are aggregated only by an automatic transmission, and the version with a 3.5 liter engine is equipped only with an XTRONIC CVT-M6 variator with the ability to manually shift gears (six fixed gear ratios).

 Nissan Teana front suspension - like McPherson. Rear - multi-link. Everything seems to be normal, but a large wheelbase and a wide gauge do their job - the car floats along the road, almost without feeling the bumps and vibrations from the suspension, keeps its course perfectly, but also enters the corners confidently, despite permissible heels (nevertheless “ barge ”is a“ barge ”). The dimensions of the platform also became the key to a large supply of space for drivers and passengers. Steering - with a variable speed depending on the speed. In the basic configuration, the car is equipped with six airbags, ABS, EBD, Nissan Brake Assist, VDC systems. The ESP system, together with active head restraints, is already available in the Luxury package. In the top version of Premium, the light sensor automatically turns on the headlights at dusk or at the entrance to the tunnel and allows the driver not to be distracted from driving. The headlight system with AFS function facilitates movement in the dark: when turning the steering wheel, side lights are additionally turned on. In the first generation, Nissan Teana had yet to compete for its new name and for a place in the business class car segment. Nevertheless, the car has received recognition, which is evidenced by the large number of cars sold, and the Teana with left-hand drive, if inferior to right-hand drive cars on offer in the secondary market, is very insignificant, another thing is that the choice is limited only by front-wheel drive. The main share is made up of cars with an engine of 2.3 liters, while the rest, but also with a good choice, are divided equally between versions with 2-liter and 3.5-liter engines.
