Friends familiar with Nissan should know that the reason why the brand will be called "Japanese Sanjie" in China is not only because of its high achievements in the field of cars and hardcore off-road, once built by Zhengzhou Nissan commercial MPV NV200, but also with low price and high durability, both Nissan version of the name of "Wuling Hongguang", but also won the favor of many consumers. But unfortunately, because the NV200 has not been substantially updated for a long time, it is difficult to escape the fate of suspension. However, in order to make up for the gap after the NV200 was discontinued, Nissan took the lead in bringing a successor model of the NV200 in parts of Europe and the United States. And this car is the Townstar.
Recently, some overseas netizens gave a set of real photos of the new Nissan Townstar. Can this product really take over the role of the NV200? Let's take a look.
First of all, from the appearance point of view, the Townstar, which uses the latest design language of the family, is undoubtedly closer to the times than the NV200. Its front face has added a lot of blackening elements, with a three-dimensional visual effect of the grille and a luminous LOGO and full LED headlights, not only more stylish, but also quite sharp.
The side part of the body, after all, is still a work that can be called Nissan's "Wuling Hongguang", and its overall side face will also follow the trend of low before and after high. The semicircular bulging waist line, with the front and rear fenders, can not only refract the visual effect of light and shadow, but also strengthen the sense of strength.
The rear part of the car, although there is no exposed exhaust layout, but the extension is obvious and the high spoiler of the high brake lights is added, and with the rear enveloping tooth guard plate, it can also create some hard school beauty.
Eyes turn to the interior of the car, and since it's only an entry-level commercial MPV, its interior design doesn't have much to show. However, in the T-shaped layout, a floating central control screen and a brushed metal panel are added to embellish it so that it will not be out of step with the times.
Of course, as a commercial MPV, its spatial performance should be the focus of people's attention. The new car not only uses bilateral sliding doors, but also has a 2+3+2 seat layout. In addition, the rear seats have a maximum load capacity of 800 kg and a load space of 4.3 cubic meters after being proportionally receded.
In terms of power, the Nissan Townstar is equipped with a 1.3T four-cylinder turbo engine with a maximum power of 131 horsepower and a maximum torque of 240 Nm, and is mated to a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission. It is reported that the engine also has a comprehensive fuel consumption performance of 7.7 liters per 100 kilometers. In addition, the new car will also provide a comprehensive range of more than 300 kilometers of pure electric models.
Overall, Nissan Townstar is undoubtedly significantly stronger than the original NV200 in terms of practicality and internal/external design performance. So, if the car has the opportunity to enter domestic sales in the form of domestic production in the future, will you consider it?
