Nissan Palazzo

I'm most satisfied with the Nissan Palazzo because it retains a pickup's loading capacity while having a mid-to-large SUV identity, allowing unrestricted city access. It also benefits from policies like no mandatory scrappage and six-year免检, which are very appealing. Built on the same platform as the Navara, it features a pickup-based chassis with high ground clearance, large wheels, long suspension travel, and a leaf spring rear suspension for strong load-bearing capacity, though the rear suspension is optimized for better ride comfort. The interior has a premium feel with soft materials, double stitching, a 10-inch HD screen, and no cheap-looking trim. It comes standard with keyless entry and push-button start, plus fixed grab handles for all four seats. Power-wise, it has a 4K31 turbo engine with 168kW and 360N·m, paired with the ZF 8AT transmission, making it easy for more people to drive. It also has standard four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. The trunk offers 2.15m³ of space with a脚踏板 for easy loading, and its密封性 is better than a pickup's tonneau cover.

【Pros】
The Nissan Palazzo, defined as a mid-large SUV, has an imposing presence due to its large size (5277*1864*1989mm, 3150mm wheelbase). Its front features a hexagonal grille, sharp headlights, and chrome accents, giving a refined look. The spacious interior comfortably fits three adults in the back, with angled rear seats for better leg support and anti-slip. Even the base model has leather seats, ensuring decent comfort. Powered by a 1.8T turbo engine (231hp, 300N·m) paired with a 6-speed manual, it runs on 92-octane fuel and delivers strong load-carrying capability, though acceleration is slow and the steering is heavy.

【Cons】
The interior uses excessive hard plastic with an outdated, low-quality design and poor sound insulation.

Summary: A practical, spacious SUV with good cargo capacity, ideal for those prioritizing affordability, durability, and space over luxury or texture.

Just got my Nissan Palazzo today. First impressions: The trunk is huge—perfect for hauling work supplies (since it's unrestricted in the city) and converting into a camper for trips. The Nissan seats are really comfortable, though the ride feels stiff, especially over speed bumps. Current city fuel consumption is 12.7L/100km; hoping it drops after the break-in period. Cab space is great, and the interior, though very basic, seems better than the Terra to me. It's the manual 4WD base model with minimal features—I’ll upgrade the infotainment and reverse radar later. Total cost with tax, insurance, and registration is around 170,000 RMB.
