Qi Jun was born in 2000. With its handsome and energetic appearance, it quickly won the attention and love of many consumers around the world. In 2008, the second generation Qi Jun went public. Although the styling design still takes a tough route, it also injects simple and elegant elements, further improving the comfort, versatility and convenience of the vehicle.
In China, it was also introduced from the second generation of Qi Jun, and was officially listed in early October of 2008/kloc-0. Besides continuing the tough style of the first generation, the second generation Qi Jun also continued its excellent four-wheel drive performance. It can be said that in this car, Qi Jun is superior to other pure urban SUVs such as CR-V and RAV4. Excellent four-wheel drive performance makes Qi Jun a bit "wild" in "personality".
In 20 14, the third-generation car was listed in Qi Jun, which is the first-generation car currently on sale in China. Compared with the previous two generations, the sleek and full design is "harmless to people and animals" and positioned as "all-round family car", which further moves closer to the pure urban SUV; Compared with the wider body of the same class, it is indeed more suitable for home use. But in his bones, the third-generation Qi Jun still retains the original gene, that is, the performance of four-wheel drive is better than that of its peers. Therefore, even at the end of the replacement, Qi Jun still has the confidence to compete with other rivals at the same level who have completed the replacement. But from the design point of view, monotonous surfaces and lines are really out of date today.
The fourth generation Qi Jun has been officially released in North America. Compared with the third-generation Qi Jun, the new-generation models have changed a lot in temperament, returning to the hard-core style of the first-generation and second-generation models in tonality, and the degree of "hard" is even worse. Alfonso Albaisa, Senior Vice President of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.) and Nissan Executive Design Director Tian (? The new generation design concept expounded by Tai is: dynamic, powerful and adventurous.
As the best-selling SUV model in the world and the most representative model of Nissan, it is obvious that the new generation of Qi Jun is not allowed to make any mistakes. But is the return to hard core design popular with consumers? Is the new design technique adopted by Nissan in the new generation of Qi Jun keeping up with the trend or finding another way?
Urban SUVs are generally "hard", and the new generation of Qi Jun is no exception.
In fact, if you look closely, you will find that the design styles of "softness", "roundness" and "fullness" that were popular in the automobile circle in previous years have been adjusted in the newly introduced or replaced urban SUVs in recent years, becoming angular and independent, and most of them tend to be "hard-core", such as Volkswagen Tuyue/Tan Yue, Toyota RAV4/ Willanda, Beijing Hyundai Tucson and so on. The new generation of Qi Jun is "hard" this time, but also more personalized. In addition to following the design language of Nissan Vmotion, more recognizable split headlights also appeared on the new generation of Qi Jun, making the new generation of Qi Jun look quite individual. However, this design is also risky, mainly on the issue of user acceptance.
Through the straight modeling elements that can be seen everywhere, including the roof, waistline and raised wheels, it highlights the "wildness" and sense of strength of the new generation of Qi Jun; Through the concave surface designed between the waistline and the wheels, we have successfully achieved "slimming", changing the bloated state of Qi Jun from "broad-minded and fat" to "delicate muscle feeling". In addition, the rear of the car also enhances the layering, and the application of a large number of wide straight lines makes the rear of the car look more "strong".
The car still emphasizes the design of "family center", but it has made great progress compared with the current models in terms of layout, workmanship, materials and sense of technology. I hope that the new generation of Qi Jun can maintain this taste and texture after it is introduced to China. In addition, according to Nissan's official statement, the proportion of high-strength steel in the new generation Qi Jun car body born on the new CMF-C/D platform has increased from the original 19% to 30%, thus improving the car body rigidity by 27%. In addition, engineers also optimized the vehicle chassis and suspension system. The four doors and two covers are made of aluminum alloy, and the new car is 20kg lighter than the previous generation. These improvements can give drivers a more confident control feeling.
In addition, the new generation of Qi Jun has also been fully upgraded in active and passive security. All North American models come standard with 65,438+00 airbags, longer collision buffer, and Nissan brand-new safety? Shield? 360 active security system, in the security level is done in place. These safety devices are expected to be equipped on domestic models.
However, in terms of power, it is still a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine. The expected 2.0T variable engine is not carried on the new generation Qi Jun. However, it is not known whether China's new generation Qi Jun will be equipped with this engine.
In addition, there is no further information about the performance of Qi Jun four-wheel drive, but I believe that compared with the current models and the previous two generations, the performance will not be weakened. After all, this is also a bright spot that distinguishes Qi Jun from other competitors. In addition, the new generation of Qi Jun has become so hard-core in styling design that it does not deserve an excellent four-wheel drive system. How can it make sense?
Written at the end: After six years, Nissan's new generation of Qi Jun is finally going to be replaced. With the new generation of Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 firmly established, the new generation of Qi Jun seems to be a little late, but "a good meal is not afraid of being late", and the new generation of Qi Jun has also come up with a killer weapon, especially a more hard-core appearance. In addition, the more textured interior and excellent safety configuration are additional items of the new generation of Qi Jun. As for the sales volume, there is no need to worry about it.
