Really hard-core off-road, 2.0T + 8AT + three locks, 160,000 level!
Most of Nissan's new cars have a large preferential margin, and it is even difficult to find a Nissan that is not preferential, but there is a new car that is extremely special, which originally belonged to Nissan, but now it is classified under the Dongfeng banner, the new car sales are quite good, and it has many supporters, this model is Paladin.
Paladin completed the facelift in August this year, a total of four different configuration models were launched, the manufacturer's guide price is 169,800-239,800, the new car is not in the terminal without any preferential margin, quite hard, and also uses the latest leaf shape LOGO.
Paladin's power system is quite excellent, the whole system is equipped with a 2.0T+8-speed manual automatic transmission, and this 2.0T engine is still a high-power version, with a maximum power of 228 horsepower and a peak torque of 360N·m. It is worth mentioning that this engine is from Mitsubishi, it is very durable, and it only requires 92 gasoline. As a new car with off-road pedigree, Paladin adopts in-cylinder direct injection technology, all-aluminum engine, ideal fuel economy, and can take into account off-road and practicality.
The chassis design is also very sincere, except for the entry-level model, all models are equipped with time-sharing four-wheel drive as standard, and are equipped with electric power assist and non-load-bearing body. In addition, it is also equipped with three locks, and has the off-road genes that only hardcore SUVs can have, such as low-speed four-wheel drive and tank U-turns.
Paladin's minimum clearance from the ground with full load reaches 215mm, and the SUV used in the general city is only about 170mm, with an approach angle of 32 degrees and a departure angle of 27 degrees, supporting wading, and the maximum depth of wading reaches 700mm.
The exterior design is actually a bit of a small Patrol's visual sense, matching mechanical pedals, 18-inch wheels, the exterior design is more traditional, and even the halogen light source is used on low-end models.
There are some upgrades to the interior design, and there are also certain highlights, such as a double-color brown interior, an electronic gear knob, a leather steering wheel, a maximum of 12-inch floating LCD screen, and the middle and high-end models also have a 4G network signal, but if you buy a low-end model, the screen size will be reduced to 10 inches, without any car machine system.
As for the ride comfort, considering that Paladin is a hard off-road vehicle, so the ride comfort is more general, the length, width and height of the new car are 4882/1850/1875mm, the wheelbase is 2850mm, the whole system is a large five-seat design, matched with an electric sunroof, the vehicle seat is more sufficient, but the comfort and angle control is not particularly good.
The biggest advantage of this Paladin is that it is cheap, and the three pieces are very hardcore, which is also the first hard-core off-road vehicle that many young consumers go out to drive. The intelligence of the new car and the relatively low configuration are indeed the biggest shortcoming.
