Overview

The Japanese automobile manufacturer Nissan Motors had launched its second product, the Teana, in India in 2007. Nissan previously, in 2004, launched the most fuel-efficient SUV in India known as the X-TRAIL. Now in an attempt to expand its hold on the Indian market, Nissan brings out the facelifted Teana with a refreshed look and a powerful engine.
The new Teana pools amazingly advanced technology with a streamlined body design and a powerful engine. Teana is a luxury sedan that is designed to attract stares and awe its passengers. It holds mechanisms and parts that have been imported from Japan and the difference in road performance is noticeable.
Teana now comes in two petrol variants: XL and XV. The two variants are powered by a reputed Nissan VQ series engines. The new Nissan Teana is out to give tough competition to the Skoda Superb and Toyota Camry.

Powertrain & Performance


Under the hood of the face lifted Teana lays a robust and smooth 2496cc VQ25DE V6 petrol engine that has been acclaimed as one of the “Ten Best Engines” by Ward‚s Auto World magazine for 15 consecutive years. This engine produces a massive power of 179.5 bhp@6000 rpm and a torque of 228 Nm@4400 rpm giving you the lightning streak pick-up on highways and clearing the roads for you in cities.
This power is coupled with a smooth shifting XTRONIC CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that you can govern with the touch of a single finger. An ECCS Electronic Fuel Injection Control allows for the optimal power generation in the engine, thereby improving its fuel-economy. It rides on independent struts of ball-joint type suspension in the front and multi-link type suspension in the rear which can absorb all kinds of road irregularities.
The new Teana comes with 17-inch tyres and aluminium alloy wheels as standard fitment and it has a revolutionary multilink suspension that smoothens out the most stubborn of bumps. Extra legroom allows you to stretch and relax while enjoying a long drive.

Build & Styling


New Nissan Teana Car - Interior
Luxury is just one word that can define the Teana. Its leather upholstery and 8-way electronically powered front driver's seat will have you enjoying a relaxing drive all day long. It has a turning radius of 5.3 meters that gives you absolute control over the car. The Teana is longer than most cars in its segment and it has a wide wheelbase that improves its interior space and stability. However, it has a lower ground clearance that may make it difficult to speed over large bumps.
The new Teana sports retractable stylish glass sunroof with UV protection, which lets the rear seat passengers enjoy the sun, filling the cabin with an open air ambience. The sophisticated wooden interiors and the stylish dashboard caress you like a luxury suite of a 5-star hotel. The cockpit is not only visually appealing but also carefully designed to deliver ultimate convenience and ease of use to the driver and all passengers concerned. The information console provides you with complete visual confirmation of air conditioning settings, outside temperature, audio system and time, as well as it allows you to monitor the drive computer. A well designed visual instrumentation with high-contrast white illumination assures maximum visibility. The large speedometer is further enhanced by a silver-coloured ring that cannot escape your notice. A one-of-its-kind rear power sunshade keeps the sunlight and glare away from rear passengers without blocking the driver's rear vision while also maintaining the temperature you set within the cabin of the car. There is a LED indirect illumination on the center console, front passenger and rear door grips that shines softly to create a more welcoming interior ambience. The soft-touch buttons and the pampering ottoman-style leg-rest on the front seats to support the lower legs take driving luxury to the next level. The boot consists of 476 litres of space that will not keep you wanting.
The revised Nissan Teana’s exterior is a balance of beauty and elegance. It has wheel arches that fit perfectly over the wheels and add to its aura of panache. It has high-projector headlamps, designed to light up the road, placed on either side of a stylish chrome grill. It also consists of high mounted LED rear stop lamps and LED rear lamps that will make sure that you catch everyone's eye when you decide to break. All wheel disc brakes along with ABS and EBD make sure that you have control of the car even in unforeseeable circumstances.
Teana is designed to absorb impact. It features crushable zones and a safety restraint zone that work together with multiple Supplemental Restraint System airbags to avoid or reduce injuries, in case of an accident. Wearing seatbelts at all times is advisable. In a collision, active head restraints instantly move forward to support the head and reduce impact on the neck.
