Nissan Teana — A sedan built to impress

- By Wilfred Pilo reporters@theborneop­ost.com

KUCHING: A fi rst glance at the Nissan Teana clearly indicates that it is a car built to impress. The 2.5L XV CVT is equipped with a host of innovative technologi­es set to facilitate smoother manoeuvrin­g for the driver, and comfort for the passengers.

It starts with ignition – all at the push of a button to get the Twin CVTC engine roaring, ready for a safe and smooth cruising. The ‘Intelligen­t Key’ (i-Key) lets driver lock and unlock the door and the trunk while it stays in the pocket or handbag.

Once on the road, the model’s ‘ Vehicle Dynamic Control’ and ‘Traction Control’ systems, as well as the ‘ Electro-hydraulic Power Steering make sure that handling corners and turning into junctions would not only be a breeze, but also safe. The anti-lock braking system and electronic brakeforce are in place to reinforce the stops, especially the rear brakes when there are additional weights inside the car.

Space-wise, the seats are adjustable to suit the driver and the passengers. The air- conditioni­ng is easily controlled but should the occupants want a whiff of fresh air to come in, the sunroof can be opened apart from the windows.

The rear sunshade provides the protection against harsh sunlight, minimising glare.

Additional­ly, the Bose Premium audio system and nine inbuilt speakers are installed as well to provide occupants with a true music experience. The Teana is also easy on the eyes too, with its sporty aerodynami­c design that not only draws attention but also help in fuel savings.

A recent test- drive proved that throughout the almost 100km cruise, the sedan only consumed less than half-tank. The Nissan Teana 2.5L XV CVT goes for RM173.560.51 (On-The-Road).
