Can it continue the honor of the crown of family car sales? Dynamic experience of the new Xuanyi 1.6L fuel version

This time it's not one person, one car, one SLR, one backpack... On the contrary, Dongfeng Nissan also invited the parents of the participants to Xiamen for a test drive experience. Not only has it brought the family closer together, but it has also been together in a different way. During the day of test drive full of happiness, we checked in together Xiamen Wuyuan Bay, Huandao Road, vegetarian food, sea view, and also completed interactive experiences and family photos together. also experienced Dongfeng Nissan's new Xuanyi and super-hybrid electric drive Xuanyi e-POWER in a more comprehensive way, and felt the happy time brought by the new model.

I believe that when mentioning Dongfeng Nissan Xuanyi, the impression of "family car sales crown" will flash in everyone's mind. That's right, this sedan has sold nearly 5 million units cumulatively. Inheriting a deep historical origin, Xuanyi has evolved to the 14th generation model, and also gave birth to a hybrid model - super-hybrid electric drive Xuanyi. The model tested this time is a mid-term facelift of the 14th generation (current model), and two models are also available: fuel version and e-POWER super-hybrid electric drive. Our family was fortunate enough to be assigned the all-new Xuanyi 1.6L fuel version.

The key word of this Xuanyi family test drive activity is "happiness", and happiness is not only looking down, but also looking upwards, and caring more about their parents. As a happy family car, Xuanyi pays attention to the feelings of every family member, especially the emotional needs of parents, so there is this test drive experience activity to travel with parents, the purpose is to create opportunities to accompany each other and talk to each other, promote the communication and sublimation of each other's emotions, and convey the concept of happiness advocated by Xuanyi to more users, as well as the confidence and strength to protect family happiness.

The all-new Xuanyi is a mid-term facelift model that will be launched on March 10, and the starting price will still be around 120,000 yuan, which is basically the same as the current model. The new cars continue the overall styling of the current model, but the details have been upgraded. The front face adopts Nissan's new V-Motion family design language, of which the fuel version model is a newly upgraded V-Motion wingspan grille, which looks younger. The headlight groups on both sides are also integrated with lens-type LED headlights and flowing LED turn signals, and the overall visual effect is more technological.

The side styling of the body is also smooth and dynamic, with the new Xuanyi 4652mm/1815mm/1450mm in length, width and height respectively, and a wheelbase of 2712mm, which is slightly longer and higher than the current model. The design of the rear has not changed much, only a circle of chrome decoration is used in the rear surround to enhance the sense of style.

In terms of interior, the biggest change of the new Xuanyi is in the interior part, the most eye-catching is the floating central control touch screen upgraded to 12.3 inches, which integrates Nissan Connec super intelligent CCS2.0+. Among them, voice interaction function and APP application are the biggest highlights. At the same time, the fuel version of the model has also upgraded the foot brake to an electronic handbrake, and the USB interface of the whole car has also been upgraded to a Type-C interface. Interior details also add interior colors, trim patterns and blue mood lights to enhance the texture.

In terms of power, the new Xuanyi fuel version model is still equipped with the third-generation HR16 engine, which is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission. Among them, the maximum power of the engine is 99kW (139Ps), the peak torque is 169Nm, and the official comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.9L.

The all-new Xuanyi e-POWER model is equipped with the second-generation e-POWER hybrid system, in which the drive motor adopts the same electric motor as the Nissan LEAF, with a maximum power of 100kW and a peak torque of 300Nm. It is worth mentioning that this powertrain is completely driven by an electric motor, and the internal combustion engine is used only as a power unit dedicated to power generation. In daily driving, the internal combustion engine is only responsible for generating electricity and does not participate in the drive.

Full text summary: Although the new Xuanyi tested this time is only a mid-term facelift model, the changes in appearance and interior are not large, but it has been changed with the times, such as: the fuel version upgrades the foot brake to an electronic handbrake, and the USB interface upgrades to a Type-C interface. It can be said to be an upgrade of Xuanyi itself. Horizontally placed in the joint venture entry-level family car market, the overall strength is still good.

However, compared with the breakthrough new energy model (BYD Qin PLUS DM-i), the latter has more obvious advantages in configuration after the launch of the 2023 model, especially the configuration of the entry-level model is almost the same as the new Xuanyi, so even if the new Xuanyi has the two advantages of comfort and reliability, if the subsequent pricing is not accurate, it will also face greater pressure.

In this happy companion journey, the new Xuanyi has indeed won the full affirmation of the experiencers and their parents and families with its excellent performance of comfort, intelligence and reliability. At the same time, the activity also launched the stage of happiness examination, which really opened up the emotional channel between parents and children, and deepened each other's understanding and perception of happiness.
