Dongfeng Nissan Venucia Grand V

I am satisfied with the Dongfeng Nissan Venucia Grand V. It offers good comfort with soft seats, ensuring relaxation even on long drives. The driving stability is impressive, with a chassis that feels as refined as those in 200,000-yuan class vehicles, providing excellent support at both low and high speeds. The exterior is霸气, featuring a large grille and sharp headlights for high recognition, and the rear design is stylish. The 1.5T engine delivers strong acceleration, and paired with the CVT transmission, it ensures fuel efficiency on highways. However, there are some drawbacks: the interior隔音 is average, with tire noise being prominent at high speeds, requiring music to mask it. The interior has a relatively strong odor, which is acceptable for a 100,000-yuan car. The paint is thin and prone to chipping, which is disappointing. Additionally, fuel consumption is higher in urban areas due to frequent starts and stops. The NEDC combined fuel consumption is 6.6L/100km, while the actual daily combined consumption is 9.4L/100km.

I think the Dongfeng Nissan Venucia Grand V is the best-looking model in Venucia's current lineup. Its overall exterior design is very avant-garde, with a large front grille for high辨识度 and a coupe-like body shape exuding a sporty vibe. The interior takes a tech-forward route, featuring a clean design with almost no physical buttons, making the 24-inch integrated large display on the dashboard stand out. The infotainment system, co-developed by Venucia and Baidu, integrates practical functions like Baidu Maps, CarLife, voice interaction, QQ Music, iQiyi, and remote control, well meeting daily information and entertainment needs. In terms of space, the front headroom is approximately 1 fist and 3 fingers, rear headroom and legroom are about 4 fingers and 1 fist and 4 fingers respectively, and the trunk is spacious, flat, and supports 4:6 split-folding rear seats for excellent expandability. Powered by a Mitsubishi-sourced 1.5T engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, it delivers 190 horsepower and 260 N・m of torque, offering quick acceleration, good smoothness without annoying顿挫, and fuel-efficient performance with around 7-8 L/100km in daily driving and about 6 L/100km on highways, close to official data.

In recent years, self-owned brand car companies have made significant progress in design, and their exterior and interior performance is no worse than joint venture brands. Even Chinese-style design concepts and elements are influencing joint venture cars, which can be seen from the comparison of the exterior design of the Dongfeng Nissan Venucia Grand V with a number of joint venture veterans such as Honda XR-V, Hyundai ix35, and Volkswagen T-Roc. In a head-to-head emergency lane change timed race testing short-distance acceleration, emergency lane change chassis stability and mid-to-late acceleration, the Dongfeng Nissan Venucia Grand V with 1.5T and 7-speed dry dual-clutch had fast power response, stable posture without understeer or tail slide in the elk test area, and won with a total time of 13.12 seconds. The Volkswagen T-Roc with 1.4T and 7-speed dry dual-clutch had slightly weaker power, slight tail slide and body bounce, finishing in 13.32 seconds. The Honda XR-V with 1.5T+CVT and torsion beam non-independent rear suspension had worse acceleration, large body roll and hit a cone, taking 13.80 seconds. The Hyundai ix35 with 1.4T (140 hp) was明显 slower, with obvious left front suspension compression, slight tail slide and roll, finishing in 14.33 seconds. The Venucia Grand V had better acceleration in the first 100 meters, higher lane change speed and smoother posture, maintaining speed advantage to finish first.
