As a pickup truck product created on the same platform as Navarre, Ruiqi 6 had a lot of attention when it was launched, but it was immediately reduced to mediocrity. In October 2020, the model was officially renamed the Palazzo, and its naming was inspired by Mount Panassos, which means that the new car is famous, of outstanding quality and pure blood, although it looks like a certain gimmick, but the attention of the car has not been greatly improved.
Recently, the 2022 Nissan Palazzo new model was officially launched, and the new car was launched with two configurations, with a price range of 160,800 to 162,800 yuan. As an annual redesign model, the main changes in the new car are reflected in the configuration, the design and power of the whole vehicle have not been changed, let's understand the specific performance of the car.
Exterior design
Zhengzhou Nissan Palazzo is a typical 6-figure scalpel, this type of product is classified in passenger cars, due to the change of identity so that such models get rid of 15 years of mandatory scrapping, annual inspection, road restrictions, holiday highway is not free, can not enter the city and a series of restrictions. The new model remains the same in terms of exterior design, with a hexagonal grille at the front of the car, a blackened mesh inside, and a thick chrome trim in the middle, which makes the car look hard. In addition, the square headlight group on the left and right sides is connected to the central network, ensuring the integrity of the front face design.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of this model are 5277×1864×1989 mm, and the wheelbase is 3150 mm. The body side design of the new model has obvious 6-figure head pickup characteristics, and after coming to the C-pillar, the roof line is sharply raised, and the large bulge looks very unnatural, so many riders also call them the pickup truck with the cargo compartment sealed.
The tail design of Palazzo is relatively simple, the vertical taillights on the left and right sides are larger in size, the internal structure is slightly simple, and the visual effect after lighting is not how amazing. The rear enclosure retains the design of the foot pedals, while there is a huge storage space in the car, which can be used as a minivan.
Interior design
The interior part of Palazzo adopts a two-color design, the shape is relatively simple, the workmanship and materials meet the mainstream standards of the same level, and the overall performance is decent. Among them, this model is equipped with a common double circular style dashboard, with average fuel consumption, mileage and other information, although the function is not rich, but the picture is clearer, and the reading is also very simple and clear. The embedded touch LCD screen on the center console has a size of 9 inches, and the size is considerable, but the internal UI interface design is relatively old, and there is no obvious advantage compared with the mainstream models on the market, and it lacks the functions we commonly use such as the Internet of Vehicles and OTA upgrades.
The interior seats of the new models are wrapped in imitation leather fabric, and only regular manual adjustments are supported in terms of functions. The interior of the front seats of the new car is filled with moderate softness and hardness, the seat surface is wide, the backrest is close to the human body and the wings on both sides have a certain prominence, and the comfort and wrapping are relatively good.
The rear seats of the new car are of the same level as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, the seat back supports 4/6 ratio reclining, the spatial flexibility is not a problem, and the cushion filling is soft, which is a very comfortable category in the same class.
dynamical system
The new Parasole model is still matched with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum output of 231 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, it is matched by a 6-speed manual transmission.

Uncle Che summed up
Overall, Zhengzhou Nissan Palazzo is a medium-sized SUV with strong off-road capabilities and loading capacity, while the price is relatively affordable. The new models launched by the car this time are mainly for the function upgrade, and in the two new configurations, the 2022 1.8T two-wheel drive Zhizun edition, which belongs to the top configuration, has a more perfect intelligent function under the premise that the price increase is not large, which can better meet the daily demand for the car, and the overall cost performance is higher. For 6-character scalpels such as palazzo, the transformation of identity allows them to have a greater scope of application, but it also further limits their multi-functional attributes, because the cargo compartment is completely closed, the game of changing space in the car is greatly reduced, and the operating space of the modification enthusiast is limited, which has no coordinated aesthetics and loses the expansion attributes of the function. And for those who prefer non-loader hardcore SUV models, the figure 6 head pickup is not the best choice for IKEA, and the hardcore off-road model is obviously more attractive to them.
