As the main model of Dongfeng Nissan, Tianlai has sold well in the domestic market. However, since the launch of the sixth generation of Tianlai in 2018, there has been no renewal. Only recently, foreign media exposed the road test spy photos of the new Tianlai for the first time. It is reported that the new Tianlai will be officially released in the second half of the year as soon as possible, and it is expected to be listed for sale in 2023.
As can be seen from the spy photos, the new Tianlai basically continues the current vehicle shape, the design style is similar, but the front of the front of the car is added with a dense camouflage coating, which can be judged that the new car will have a relatively large change in this area.
Although the front part of the car is mostly covered by camouflage coating, some changes can be faintly seen. The front bumper and air intakes have been enlarged, and a new dot-type structure has been added to the interior of the grille. The LED light clusters on both sides look more slender, and the internal structure is expected to change as well.
In the side part, the overall silhouette is almost the same as the current model, and the double waistline design is still maintained. The wheel shape was replaced, and the multi-width wheels after blackening showed the sporty atmosphere.
Coming to the rear, the new car added a new spoiler design, the light group did not change too much, and still used a bilateral double exhaust device. However, it covers the car logo and the wordmarks on both sides, which seems to be a hidden mystery.
In the interior part, the new car adopts a new infotainment system, the size of the central control screen is further increased, and new switchgear and air conditioning vents are added under the display.
In the power part, only overseas version information is flowing out, and it is expected that there will be two versions of the 2.5L self-priming engine with a maximum power of 140kW and the 2.0T four-cylinder turbo engine with a maximum power of 176kW. At that time, the new Tianlai will continue to compete with the Accord, Camry and other similar models.
