The car we're talking about today is the Nissan Palazzo. Nissan Paraso's cumulative sales in 2021 are only 1,041 units, with an average monthly sales of less than 87 units; although the market sales performance is not good, the strength of this car is still remarkable. In November of the previous year, Zhengzhou Nissan Palazzo was first listed, and the lowest model was only sold for 129,800 yuan.
From the front of the car, the hanging is the logo of Dongfeng, and the overall front face contour is quite hard, which creates a tough guy feeling for us. If you want to buy a Toyota Land Cruiser, but you're on a budget, this Palazzo's front face should impress you, and the new car has enough ground clearance.
From the side, many friends think that this Palazzo is particularly strange, like a pickup truck with a cover, which looks very awkward, especially the part between the C-pillars. But this uplift design also has the advantage that the space inside the car is quite spacious.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Palazzo were 5277×1864/1989 mm, the wheelbase was 3150 mm, the curb weight was 1852/1933 kg (2WD/4WD), and the total mass was 2501/2582 kg. That is to say, the maximum load of both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive is 649 kg.
In the interior part, the new car follows the design of the Ruiqi 6, and the overall shape is simple, which is the appearance of this type of SUV, just like the air conditioner outlet of the frog's eye is very recognizable. In terms of configuration, the four-wheel drive version has added 18-inch rims, reversing radar, 9-inch central control screen, Eaton automatic differential lock and other configurations.
Seeing the design of the tail, the friends feel that this is a pickup truck, why do you say so? The taillights of the Palazzo are vertical and have a short chrome trim strip under the logo, which is also a common operation in pickup trucks. In addition, there are pedals under the license plate frame, so there is no doubt that this is a medium-sized new car with both pickup truck and off-road functions. Of course, this is also the manufacturer's definition of it, because the Paraso was originally a passenger version of the Ruiqi 6.
In terms of power, the Palazzo is equipped with a 1.8T gasoline engine model CE18, with a maximum power of 231 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 Nm, which meets the national SIX emissions, and the transmission matches a 6-speed manual transmission.
