The new "Teana" (third generation) was shown at the end of February 2012 in China. There Teana is a bestseller. In 2004-2013, more than 700 thousand cars of this model were sold in China. And Teana 3 locally produced has already been on sale since March. It will go on sale in Russia in the first half of 2014 (to be more precise, say, the representative office keeps the information secret). A sedan should be produced by a Russian plant located in St. Petersburg.

It will be the same Teana as in China, and almost a copy of the American Altima. Chinese and American cars differ slightly in optics and body decor. The car became 9 mm longer (4859 mm) with the same wheelbase - 2775 mm. Trunk volume was slightly reduced - from 488 to 436 liters, and became 4 mm less body height. Weight decreased by 54 kg. Designers made extensive use of new high-strength steel and aluminum. The front suspension remained basically the same, and the rear - a new, multi-link. The Chinese car is equipped with a 2.5-liter 185-horsepower engine with an Xtronic variator, the Russian can be with a 273-horsepower V6 with a volume of 3 liters. One way or another, we'll find out later.
Nissan Tiida
Tiida C12 debuted in Shanghai in 2011 and has long been sold in China (pictured in a circle). Compared to its predecessor, it has a large wheelbase (+100 mm). European sales of this car under the name Almera and with a “face” changed in accordance with the current corporate identity will start in 2014. Nissan is still hiding the car under camouflage. However, our artist managed to draw her from spy photos. We already have a large Almera sedan, therefore, most likely, the usual name Tiida will be left to the compact hatchback, as well as a 110-horsepower aspirated 1.6 with a variator (or 5-speed “mechanics”), to which 1.2 and 1 supercharged engines will be added, 6 l.

A couple of X-Trail and Qashqai made on the new modular platform of the Nissan-Renault Alliance, designed for 14 models! The first was shown in September in Frankfurt, the second on November 7 in London, since the British market for Qashqai is one of the main ones. Developed this car in the UK, produced in Sunderland. We will build the assembly in St. Petersburg. The new Qashqai is so similar to the X-Trail that some readers, having read the material about the London presentation of the model, suspected that Nissan is replacing the X-Trail with the previous Qashqai + 2. But X-Trail is now offered in Europe in both a seven-seater and a five-seater version. Crossovers are very close in design, while varying significantly in size. The new Qashqai, although 49 mm longer than the previous one, does not reach the X-Trail as much as 280 mm. It has become wider by 20 mm, but still the X-Trail is 50 mm wider. It is 15 mm lower than the previous, X-Trail 70 mm higher.
