In the hardcore off-road field, there are not only Toyota products such as Prado and Land Cruiser, Nissan Tourle has also gained a foothold with good off-road performance and modification space and ultra-high cost performance. But it has to be said that there is still a big gap between absolute strength and the old rival Land Cruiser. Nowadays, the Land Cruiser has ushered in a new generation of models, and Tule seems to have failed to keep up with its rivals, and on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the birth of Tule models, only a small remodel based on 22 models has been launched, officially called the 70th Anniversary Edition, but it is currently limited to the Middle East.
The redesigned model basically maintains the same shape as the 22 models, Nissan's new family design language can be applied, the double C-shaped headlight lighting effect is more powerful, the dot matrix grille sets off a good sense of luxury, plus a large area of chrome decoration and tall front, the overall visual effect is very good. However, compared with the old model, it does not bring about a qualitative improvement, more like the official modification kit, and aesthetic fatigue will inevitably occur over time. The side basically can not see any changes, but for the wheel hub has been routinely changed, the double color of the dense wheel design is more complicated, but in order to retain the off-road ability, the wheel size is not very large, the visual effect is a lot of discounts.
In terms of the rear, there are still few changes. After the tail light is lit, it is also a double C shape, and the headlights echo, and the full LED lighting effect is more colorful, in line with its value and positioning. This is accompanied by large areas of chrome decoration at any cost. It is worth mentioning that the new model is equipped with a tow hook as standard, which is in line with their car habits for Middle Eastern buyers and has improved its practicality.
In terms of interior, the central control design still retains the original silhouette, continuing the overall style of the 22 models. A large area of piano paint is used in the air-conditioned area, and the texture of the keys is significantly improved. At the same time, the car machine system has also been upgraded, the floating central control screen is more in line with the current fashion trend, and the rear row also provides two large screens, which can also be regarded as keeping pace with the times.
In terms of powertrain, it is still equipped with two naturally aspirated engines, 4.0L and 5.6L, with a maximum power of 275 and 400 hp, a maximum torque of 394 N·m and 560 N·m, respectively, and a gearbox of 7AT with a full-time four-wheel drive system, which has not changed. Although equipped with a large-displacement engine, it can bring good smoothness and calmness, but the power and torque tuning are low, the power level performance is average, coupled with the 2.5 tons of self-weight, the fuel consumption performance will not be too friendly.
It is not difficult to see that the commemorative model is only a symbolic minor repair, 22 Tule in the Middle East price of 199,900 dirhams, about 350,000 yuan, the commemorative model should not change too much, this price for domestic consumers should be beyond reach, the previous generation of Tule imports to the domestic price has reached more than 550,000, but in the face of toyota Land Cruiser millions of prices, Tule is relatively "close to the people" a lot. But then again, the Land Cruiser has just been replaced, using a new architecture to create it, not only retains a strong off-road attribute, power performance, electrification, etc. have been greatly upgraded, Tule wants to fight it is difficult.
