With its large, thick, softly filled ergonomic seats, Tianlai has been crowned by many netizens as the "comfort king" of Japanese mid-level cars. In the past two years, the car has also won a good sales result because of the large terminal discount, so that many home users now include it in the scope of alternatives. But then again, is this car worth starting in the end, and which configuration is more cost-effective? Today we will talk in detail.
At present, Nissan Tianlai has a total of six models on sale, with a price span of 179,800-269,800, which is the mainstream level of the joint venture mid-level car. So which model is more recommended? Let's take a look at the basic information of the car first. (Note: The models in this article are all 2.0L XL Comfort Edition)
In terms of appearance, Nissan Tianlai, which adopts the V-Motion family design language, looks more stylish overall, and the stout "V-shaped" chrome decorative parts are matched with a large-size forward air mesh to strengthen the visual impact of the front face. The chic headlights also further enrich the visual effect. But the fly in the ointment is that the entry-level version of Tianlai is only equipped with halogen headlights, as well as halogen front fog lights, fortunately, the rest of the models are LED light sources.
On the side, the styling design of the six tianlai is not much different, and the suspension roof is equipped with a 4901mm length, and the body shape is relatively slender. The six models are 1850mm wide and have a wheelbase of 2825mm. However, in terms of body height, the 2.0L XE fashion version is 1450mm, and the rest of the models are 1447mm, although there is a difference but the impact is not large.
In the wheel segment, the 2.0L XE Fashion Edition is equipped with a set of 205/65 R16 tires, a set of 235/40 R19 tires, and the rest of the models are equipped with a set of 215/55 R17 tires.
In the rear part of the car, the entire tail line of Tianlai is relatively soothing, the shape is flat, but the taillight group with sharp corners brings a touch of personality to the whole car. In terms of appearance alone, tianlai vehicle is mainly fashionable, which is relatively atmospheric and can cater to the aesthetics of many young consumers.
In the interior part, Tianlai's family atmosphere is strong, and the layered center console uses "V-shaped" line elements to make it look more personal. In terms of decorative materials, a lot of soft materials are used in the Tianlai car, and then chrome-plated and imitation wood grain trim panels are used, and the sense of grade is relatively in place.
However, in the intelligent network part, the 2.0L XE fashion version only uses a 7-inch touch LCD screen, which supports Bluetooth/car phones. The rest of the models use an 8-inch touch LCD screen, which supports voice recognition control, Internet of Vehicles, OTA, navigation and other functions.
In the seat part, the 2.0L XE fashion version of Tianlai is equipped with a set of fabric seats, and the rest of the models are equipped with a set of leather seats, although the two seat materials are different, but the wide cushions are quite comfortable to sit on. However, in terms of functionality, the seat electric adjustment is only available in the sub-low-end models and above, while the seat heating function is only available in the 2.0L top-mounted and 2.0T high-end models.
Space part, to the height of 174cm experiencer as an example, the front row of seats adjusted the sitting posture after the head space remains 4 fingers, keep the seat position unchanged Experiencer came to the back row, at this time the head space remains 3 fingers, leg space super 2 punches, the overall performance is quite good.
In the trunk part, the internal space of the tianlai is relatively regular, the conventional depth is 1090mm, the inner width is the narrowest 1040mm, the widest is 1390mm, the internal height is 520mm, and the volume is about 586 liters, which is a more mainstream level. However, what is slightly deficient is that the rear seats of Tianlai do not support reclining, which is true of all six models, which has a certain impact on practicality.
Power part, 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 115kW, the maximum torque of 197N·m, matched with a CVT stepless gearbox, the medium test 100 km acceleration of about 10 seconds, NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption as low as 5.9L/100km; 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 179kW, the maximum torque of 371N·m, matched with a CVT (analog 8-gear) gearbox, media measurement of 100 km acceleration in the 7 second range, NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption as low as 6.6L/ 100km。
In the configuration part, Tianlai is equipped with 6 airbags in terms of active/passive safety configuration, as well as basic safety configurations such as tire pressure display, ABS, ESP and so on. Intelligent safety features such as parallel assist, lane departure warning, active braking, lane keeping, etc., only 2.0L top-equipped and 2.0T high-end models are given. In terms of auxiliary/control configuration, the 2.0L XL Comfort Edition gives a cruise control + reversing image, which is enough to meet the needs of daily use, as for the high-end full-speed adaptive cruise is only available in the three "AD1 models", and the 360-degree panoramic image is only available in the 2.0L and 2.0T respective top models.
In terms of comfort configuration, in the 2.0L Comfort Edition and above, it is equipped with a segmented electric sunroof, front row keyless entry, remote start, leather steering wheel, built-in driving recorder, dual temperature zone automatic air conditioning, etc. It is worth mentioning that the top model also has BOSE audio + monochrome atmosphere lights, which further emphasizes the riding atmosphere.
In general, through the above aspects, the differences between the six models of the tianlai series are mainly reflected in the configuration and power. From a home point of view, the 2.0L XL Comfort Version with reversing image + cruise control, leather steering wheel/seat, and dual temperature zone automatic air conditioner can already meet the needs of daily use, and it is also a cost-effective model in the car series. Of course, if you have a pursuit of performance, that low-end 2.0T XL Upper AD1 Smart Pilot Edition is also very good, compared to the top configuration is only less dispensable configuration, but the price is 40,000 cheaper, the starting value is higher.
