Brothers and sisters, do you know that the Nissan Jinke is finally going to change its look.
Recently, Nissan confirmed that the new Jinke will be officially unveiled at this year's New York International Auto Show. However, the official picture of the new car has been released in advance, and we will take a sneak peek in this article to see if you like the appearance of the new Jinke?
At the front, the V-Motion grille of the new Jinke is finally gone, replaced by a horizontal spoke design, and the new style is very similar to the previous Tanlu launched in China. However, the inverted trapezoidal air intakes are faintly visible from the inside of the grille, and the daytime running lights of the headlights on both sides form a whole with the spoke grille.
The body contour of the old Jinke is rounded and rounded, while the body contour of the new Jinke has more straight lines, especially the waistline is very straight, extending from the headlights to the rear.
The rear of the new Jinke is still interesting, with a floating roof, a black finish in the C-pillar area, and a vertical taillight design, which is connected in series with black trim parts. The rear has a hidden exhaust design, and the rear bumper is designed with gray trim to add a sporty look.
The size of the new Nissan Jinke is larger, but Nissan has not yet announced the size, and we will know when it is unveiled at the New York Auto Show on March 29. According to Nissan, the rear seats can be adjusted to a backrest angle, and if the rear seat backrests are straightened, the trunk volume can be up to 850 liters, and if the rear seats are reversed, the space can be expanded to 1,700 liters. Nissan says the new Jinke will have the best luggage space in its class.
As a small SUV, the good use of space will be favored by consumers. In addition, if the cockpit can be moved closer to digitalization, it will further attract more young consumers. This time, the new Jinke front center control area is equipped with a 12.3-inch dual screen, which supports 360-degree panoramic images, and the audio system has also been upgraded to BOSE 10 speaker audio, and the car supports Apple wireless CarPlay and Android wireless mobile phone interconnection. Of course, in the future, the localized rear vehicle system will also be adjusted accordingly according to the Chinese market.
This time there is also its powertrain. The new Jinke is equipped with a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder self-aspirated engine with a maximum power of 141 hp and a maximum torque of 190 Nm, mated to a CVT gearbox, as well as Nissan's new intelligent all-wheel drive system, and a new snow mode in the driving mode. This leaves suspense for the future domestic new Jinke power, the current domestic Jinke power is 1.5L four-cylinder self-priming, so the new Jinke will continue to 1.5L self-priming or replace with the same 1.2L three-cylinder e-Power system as Sylphy, or directly introduce 2.0L self-priming?
The new Jinke has also upgraded the intelligent driving system, equipped with ProPilot, compared with the old intelligent driving system, the new system has added a steering assistance system. Other features include AEB active braking, rear collision warning, lane departure warning, and more.
It is expected that the new models in overseas regions will be launched this summer, and the new domestic Jinke will also be just around the corner, so if you like the new look, you might as well wait patiently.
