To meet the new emission standard, the "King of the Desert" American version of Nissan Tule is coming, with a 5.6L V8 engine

Mention nissan a few years ago, many people will definitely think of Nissan Shenche Xuanyi, or GTR, Tule these classic models. But in recent years, Nissan's biggest slot point should be the three-cylinder Qijun and driving the three-cylinder Qijun to play in the desert. Compared with Toyota and Honda in recent years, Nissan has a relatively bleak presence in the domestic market. In addition to Xuanyi is still struggling to support, many of its models in the same level of market are no longer brave.

But after all, we have to admit that Nissan still has some models that can be used, such as Tule who can really play sand in the desert, this has "King of the Desert" and "Little Prince of the Desert", playing sand is still enough. In fact, in the domestic off-road market, in the early years, Tule is still good in the off-road circle, especially some Middle Eastern and American models often have a price increase to pick up the car. But later, with the upgrading and strictness of emission standards, Tule, which was stuck in the emissions, could only circulate in the second-hand car market. Coupled with the popularity of domestic off-road SUVs such as Haval H9 and Tank 300, the popularity of this car of Tule and Wrangler is not as good as before.

However, for off-road enthusiasts, there has been a good news recently. The author learned from relevant channels that the current import of Tule (US version) has passed the National Motor Vehicle Product Quality Inspection and Testing Center GB 18352.6-2016 standard testing, what does this mean? This also means that the car has met the current strict National VI B emission standards, which also means that Nissan's new Tule will once again enter the Chinese market as an imported car, which is a good news.

It should be known that under normal circumstances, after the vehicle passes the National VI environmental impact assessment test, it can obtain 3C certification in 2-4 weeks, and can be officially sold in the market after obtaining 3C certification. This also means that the American version of Tule that we are talking about this time is expected to usher in the official listing around June.

"King of the Desert" Nissan Tourer, which is very famous in the global off-road circle, this large land beast born in the 1950s (1951) has a history of more than 70 years, and Toyota Land Cruiser and other hardcore off-road vehicles, especially in North America and the Middle East is very popular, and in the domestic market in the first few years, this car is also very popular. So let's take a brief look at this classic hardcore off-road.

The new American version of Tule is not a small change from the previous generation model, the new car adopts a new family design language, and the entire front face looks more wild. The large V-Motion family-style front grille creates a strong visual impact, and is highly recognizable with front fog lights and dual C headlights. After lighting, the headlights have a strong sense of vision, which also shows full domineering.

The side of the body is not large, but the multi-width wheels with large tires look very sporty. In terms of the rear, although the through-type taillights are not used, the similar C-type taillights that echo the headlights are connected with chrome decorative strips, which is also very eye-catching. The entire rear bumper looks very heavy, and the invisible exhaust design makes the entire rear look more solid and powerful.

The new car is positioned as a large off-road SUV with body sizes of 5165/1995/1940mm and a wheelbase of more than 3 meters, reaching 3075mm. As a hardcore off-road SUV, the ground clearance of the new car has reached 273mm, which maximizes its passability, and is tall and powerful and domineering.

In terms of interior, the new American version of Tule has changed a lot compared with the previous version, and the sense of technology has been further improved, such as the new car adopts a floating central control large screen and is equipped with 360-degree panoramic images. In order to create comfort, the new car uses diamond-shaped leather seats, but the instrument panel is still mechanical, rather than the current popular full LCD instrument.

In addition, the multi-function leather steering wheel, the mahogany-like lever operation table, and the knob function buttons look very good. To highlight its off-road performance, New Touring retains a large number of physical buttons inside.

In terms of power, consumers are also most concerned, and from the exposure information we have obtained, the new car is produced in California, usa, and will enter the Chinese market in parallel imports. The new car will be equipped with a 5.6L V8 naturally aspirated engine code-named VK56, with a maximum power of 298 kW, a maximum horsepower of 400 hp and a peak torque of 555 Nm. In terms of transmission, it is matched by a 7-speed automatic transmission. It is worth mentioning that this year's latest model is expected to be equipped with the latest style of 3.6T turbocharged engine, and the gearbox will also be upgraded to 9AT, which is also worth looking forward to.

As for the price of the car, we have not gotten more news, but its current sales starting price in overseas markets is equivalent to about 320,000 yuan, the author expects the starting price of the new car in China, it will definitely be more than 500,000, if you add factors such as price increases, it is estimated that the new car landing is basically 700,000 yuan away. For such a big guy who weighs nearly 3 tons, the fuel consumption will be at least 17-18L/100 km. Such a car is destined to be a big toy for a few people.

At present, there are similar products in the domestic market, that is, the current hot tank 500, this benchmark Toyota Cruiser tank 500, in terms of product strength compared to Tule, in many aspects have a lot of advantages, cost-effective aspects are not to say. In general, in the current market, oil tigers such as Tule are no longer suitable for Chinese consumers, and even if there are, they are very few.
