When the domestic two-child and three-child policies were liberalized, many MPV models have emerged, and both independent brands and joint venture brands are expanding the layout of this field, but Nissan Motor, which is also performing strongly in China, does not seem to have such a fanfare plan to carry out this field as Honda and Toyota.
Even if the brand has excellent MPV models in overseas markets, there are no plans to introduce them in China for the time being, including Nissan's new medium and large MPV - Elgrand.
Recently, it was reported that the new generation of ELGRAND (Domestic Sovereign) new car plan has been exposed, the new car is expected to be unveiled in 2023, and there are new car modeling drawings have been exposed.
Specifically, the new car has been replaced with a new Nissan family V-Motion model, and the more extreme mid-net design with a split light group makes the new car have a more fashionable vision than the old model, after all, the current model is a 2010 design, and the overall shape is slightly backward.
It is reported that the car has a certain relationship with the domestic Guishi, and it can also be regarded as the prototype of the Guishi, but the model is sold in the North American and Chinese markets as quest (Guishi). thereinto. ELGRAND is mainly high-end positioning, while Guishi is more inclined to the home market, and ELGRAND is also the "pioneer" of luxury MPV.
It is worth mentioning that Elgrand has also been named "Junjue" and appeared in the domestic market through imports.
In terms of size, elgrand's length, width and height are 4965/1850/1815 mm, and the wheelbase is 3000 mm, which is similar to Toyota Alpha, so it is a medium and large MPV.
In view of the fact that this generation of models is already a product of a slight age, the interior style is relatively retro, which can be seen to be in the design style of the previous generations of Nissan.
However, the rear layout is still a leading performance in the same level of the market, after all, Nissan has the reputation of "mobile large sofa".
The rear of the new car is presented in the form of 2+2+3, but there are also 2+3+2 layout forms that meet the household attributes.
In terms of power, the current overseas version is equipped with two self-priming engines of 2.5L and 3.5L, matching the CVT stepless transmission, and supporting an optional 4WD system.
With the current layout of Nissan's accelerated electrification route, it is believed that the new model will join Nissan's e-POWER hybrid system to ensure that Japanese brands can pursue economic applicability while ensuring sufficient power.
From the perspective of Nissan's positioning in the North American market, the competitors are mainly Honda Odyssey (North American version) and Toyota Syna, while the car is benchmarked against Alpha in Japan, after all, Alpha is also a nanny car in the local market.

Toyota Xena
Guidance price: 30.98-40.58 million yuan
Although the third generation of Elgrand has been launched for more than 10 years since its launch in 2010, and it currently has a good market performance in overseas markets, this generation of products has a relatively long cycle, and the model iteration plan will be gradually carried out.
However, now Toyota has made the Xena model domestic, and Nissan has not only stopped all imported MPV models in China, but also has no plans for domestic MPV models, which means that in the short term, Nissan cannot share a piece of the domestic MPV field, even if Nissan still has market competitiveness in China.
