Official guidance price: 181,900-262,900 yuan
To say that the most controversial new car will be listed in 2021, Dongfeng Nissan's new generation of X-Trail will definitely have one. Since its listing in July 2021, the controversy about the new generation of X-Trail has been continuous, and a large number of public opinions have pointed the spearhead at the "three-cylinder engine" of the new car, and few people have paid attention to its real efforts in engine technology.
In fact, the new generation of X-Trail's 1.5T VC-TURBO super variable engine + the new generation of CVT intelligent stepless transmission achieves variable compression ratio and is effective in the suppression of engine jitter. At the same time, the new generation of X-Trail is equipped with the second-generation 4×4-i intelligent all-mode four-wheel drive system, which is still the off-road master in urban SUVs.

There are still many MPV models on the market in 2021, but the hottest model is still GAC Toyota Xena. Before the listing, there was a hot discussion, and the heat has only increased. I think there are a lot of friends in this car just started to wait for the news of domestic production. After the price was announced, many consumers said that the pricing was more expensive than they expected, and the dealer had to increase the price, and he couldn't stand it.
To say that the strength of Xena is still there, from the Toyota TNGA architecture, the large size, flexible and abundant internal space, the new generation of hybrid to bring low fuel consumption, etc. are all advantages, reaching the standard of mid-to-high-end MPV. But to say that the price increase of tens of thousands must be bought? After all, there are many excellent products at the same level, and now the consumption of the Chinese people is more and more rational, and no one is willing to be a leek.
