Although the presence in the SUV market is not strong, it is undeniable that Venucia T60 has grown into the sales of venucia brand, and the sales volume of the whole year of 2021 is slightly behind venucia D60 and Venucia star, ranking third among the brands. The reason why this small SUV with a flat appearance can be sold well is not only related to its cross-level configuration and leading the size of the same class, but more importantly, it is equipped with a mature power system derived from Nissan, which occupies obvious advantages in reliability and fuel economy, so it is favored by home users.
Recently, Dongfeng Nissan Venucia has launched the annual redesign of venucia T60, the new car in the continuation of the original design style at the same time for the model configuration has been optimized and adjusted, the number of models reduced to 4 models, the configuration has also been slightly changed, the price remains unchanged, still 8.68-11.28 million yuan. For ordinary home users, which model of the 2022 Venucia T60 is more worth buying? This issue of the "Car Buying Guide" will be analyzed in detail for you.
First, a brief description of the model
The 2022 Venucia T60 does not use the latest V-Galaxy starry sky front face, and the overall shape still continues the previous founder's tough design style, highlighting practicality and power. The grille combines two decorative elements of black mesh and chrome, and the sharp metal border makes the visual effect extremely sharp. The special-shaped headlights are uniquely shaped, with a dual lens combination inside, and the high-end model also provides an LED light source. The vertical LED daytime running lights on both sides of the front bumper are like fangs, increasing the recognition of the vehicle. The front bracket is tougher, and the honeycomb-shaped lower grille creates a hint of movement.
The sides are outlined with a large number of straight lines, and the front and rear wheel arches are also designed with raised rib lines to add a bit of muscle. In terms of size, Venucia T60 has a length, width and height of 4412mm/1820mm/1679mm, and a wheelbase of 2640mm, which has a certain advantage over the same level of models. The rear is highly layered, the two-color tail light group adopts a forked design, and provides a light strip LED light group, which has an excellent visual effect after lighting.
The 2022 Venucia T60 series is equipped with 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels as standard, divided into two shapes, the three models with low and medium use of conventional double five-spoke design, the fine texture is good; the top model adopts a two-color matte texture, and the shape is more dynamic. In terms of tires, Dunlop and Yokohama are available, mainly energy-saving and comfortable, and the tire specifications are unified at 215/60 R17.
In terms of body color, the 2022 Venucia T60 provides 7 color schemes, including two-color car paints of pearlescent white/obsidian black, blazing red/obsidian black, and 5 monochrome car paints of pearlescent white, tungsten steel gray, blazing red, obsidian black and clear sky blue. Among them, the two-color car paint is more personalized, while the monochrome car paint has a stronger sense of fashion.
Compared with the design-inspired exterior, the interior of the 2022 Venucia T60 is slightly decent. The interior adopts the traditional wrap-around layout, with a suspended central control screen and touch air-conditioning panels creating a strong technical atmosphere, while the large-area imitation carbon fiber trim panels add a sense of sport. In terms of configuration, the 2022 Venucia T60 series is equipped with reversing images as standard, a panoramic sunroof that can be opened, keyless entry + one-button start, online navigation, intelligent voice control, induction wipers, etc., and the recommended models also provide cruise control and automatic parking.
In terms of power, the 2022 Venucia T60 continues to be powered by a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine from Nissan, with a maximum power of 126 horsepower and a maximum torque of 168 Nm. The drivetrain is mated to either the XTRONIC CVT transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission.
Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations
The 1.6L Manual Zhiguan Edition is the entry model for the entire 2022 Venucia T60 series and the only model equipped with a manual transmission. From the configuration point of view, the overall performance of the entry-level model has basically reached the expectations, especially in terms of the convenience and multimedia configuration with high daily use frequency, providing keyless entry + one-key start, multi-function steering wheel, 8-inch central control touch screen, online navigation, intelligent voice control, speed-sensitive wiper and other functions, which can meet the needs of daily use. However, considering that the manual transmission is not conducive to driving in urban congestion, combined with its price of 86,800 yuan, the comprehensive cost-effective advantage is not large, so it is not recommended.
Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis
Among the three models equipped with CVT transmissions, the editors recommended the 1.6L CVT Zhixing Edition, which was priced at 10,000 yuan more than the entry-level model, and obtained the Nissan XTRONIC CVT gearbox, while the configuration also increased the two practical functions of cruise control and automatic parking, and upgraded to an electronic handbrake. Although the recommended model is still not perfect in terms of passive safety and lighting system, considering its price of less than 100,000 yuan and the relatively limited configuration improvement of the two models, the 1.6L CVT Zhixing version is a reasonable choice.
Highly equipped with two models 1.6L CVT smart version and 1.6L CVT smart version, priced at 10.58 and 112,800 yuan respectively, both have exceeded the 100,000 yuan mark, but the configuration improvement is not high. Among them, the more practical ones include reversing radar and the Internet of Vehicles, but these configurations can be completely achieved by post-installation; as for the 8-inch full LCD instrument, the larger 10-inch central control screen and the daytime running lights and other functions, the use experience is not a qualitative leap compared to the recommended models; in addition, the top model also enjoys some driver assistance functions, remote start, and electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, considering that the daily use frequency of these configurations is not high, and it is not necessary to configure. Therefore, the 1.6L CVT Zhixing Edition, which is priced at less than 100,000 yuan and can meet daily needs in terms of configuration, has a higher cost performance in the 2022 Venucia T60 series of models, and it is recommended to give priority when buying a car.
