● new Qi Chuntime to market: the first half of 2017
new car features: new appearance, configuration and interior upgrade significantly

　　In September 2016 , Nissan released the new version of the new version of the odd Chun 's official map. Then, we received from the Ministry of Industry and the official website of the new Nissan Qi Chun 's declaration map, the new car and overseas version consistent, using Nissan's latest family design language. According to previous news, the new car is expected to be listed in the first half of 2017.

　　According to the latest report to see, the new Qi Jun 's forward air grille size and cash models compared to significantly larger, and the middle of the V-chrome trim is also more sturdy. The overall style and Loulan is more like. At the same time, the car's front bumper and fog lamp shape has also been adjusted, fog lamp from the cash round to the new rectangle. Car length and breadth were 4675/1820 / 1722mm, wheelbase is 2706mm, compared to the current increase of body length 32mm.

　　Edit Comment: Nissan Qi Chun from the market in 2014 until today, in the sales of the results have been the same level of the car in the crowd. As a medium-term facelift SUV models, the new car appearance change is not large, compared to appearance, interior and configuration upgrades is the biggest bright spot, the control design is more young, technology configuration and security configuration more and more rich, This will further enhance its competitiveness.

　　But once the main space of the X-Trail , in the face of Ang Kewei , Tiguan L even Cody Senanayake and other cross- level of the mid-sized SUV , the number will become bloated, and it is currently used leapfrog other form of joint-venture brands to expand their market practices One, the future odd Chun can keep their own in the same level of advantage, we will wait and see.

Similar to the Renault Koleos 2.0L performance test

have to say, all these years the level of China's automotive consumers still improve a lot, so I pretend Koleos these days the owner, the most asked question is, "This is the car with the X-Trail What's the difference !? ". Faced with such a sharp problem, in addition to my incarnation of intimate sister, talk to them about the French style, the really have to come up with real things, so I sorted out the following points, only prospective owners to deal with ulterior motives Pharaoh next door.

Model introduction

　　A new generation of Koleos is still dominated by the Renault Samsung R & D, but production moved from South Korea to China, Wuhan , it is also why it can be lowered to 17.98-26.98 million price range, and we tested the price is 20.58 million Yuan 2.0L two drive luxury, in terms of price or configuration point of view, this car has become the main sales model potential.

　　Prior to our colleagues have been on the Koleos 2.0L and 2.5L models for a detailed experience, if you do not understand this car can click on the previous article to read, this article will focus on driving performance and performance aspects .

power system

　　Koleos proud of the use of the 2.0L engine and exactly the same as Chun , even the parameters are exactly right. Maximum power of 150 horsepower, maximum torque of 200 Nm, with direct injection and start and stop technology, while the transmission system is a 7-speed analog CVT continuously variable transmission.

Driving experience

　　Although the same platform with the Nissan Qi Jun , the parameters of performance is exactly the same, but even twins, more or less will be somewhat different , and this Kelao proud of the difference with the odd Jun , from the moment the throttle, you can appreciate. Compared to the odd Chun , Correa proud of the throttle adjustment more soothing, and strive to create a relaxed driving atmosphere, suitable for control in the congested road conditions.

　　2.0L naturally aspirated engine of low torque performance worthy of recognition, driving nearly 1.6 tons of body is not laborious, and power output is very linear, even to the middle or to maintain a good momentum. But this engine in response to the same as the throttle is not very active, so when some overtaking procrastination.

　　 CVT gearbox is like the annual summer TV put "Journey to the West" with the "Dragon", although a bit boring, but still be able to stop and see, after all, this year's dual-clutch gearbox can become Anti-Japanese opera, it would be better to a CVT is, at least, ride comfort and fuel economy can be guaranteed.

　　Steering wheel feedback intensity is relatively light, this advantage is no matter rubbing library library you will not feel laborious, and I believe that not many people bored to want to drive from a SUV to find fun.

　　Completely biased to the comfortable chassis tuning to let the odd-Jun open up feeling some "flicker", and Koleos in order to avoid this situation specifically for the suspension by adding a bit toughness, but overall little effect, daily driving or chassis is not solid , But in excess of vibration control, Koleosi to be better.

Renault Grand Scenic review: better than a Volkswagen Touran?

The new Renault Grand Scenic looks good, but is it too cramped to be class leader?

•  Chris Knapman 

4 JANUARY 2017 • 12:02PM

Renault’s fightback in the people carrier category is a two-pronged attack. For smaller families there’s the five-seat Scenic, while those with a bigger brood will need this seven-seat Grand Scenic version.

With the Espace no longer available in the UK, this car represents Renault’s most commodious people mover, and like the regular Scenic it is available with either petrol or diesel engines and manual or automatic gearboxes.

The Grand Scenic’s many rivals include the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, Volkswagen Touran, Vauxhall Zafira Tourer and Ford Grand C-Max.

Space  6/10

Rear seats are just too small

The Grand Scenic is 23cm longer than the regular Scenic, resulting in a bigger boot and enough space in the back to add a pair of third-row seats that fold out of the floor.

However, in order to get anybody into these extra seats means sliding the middle row forward to the point that only children will fit comfortably, and the interior is also too narrow to accommodate three child seats side-by-side. A Citroen Grand C4 Picasso and Volkswagen Touran not only offer more space, but also much easier easier access to the third row.

On the plus side, the Grand Scenic’s boot is enormous, with a good square opening and flat load lip, and the option of storing the parcel shelf under the floor when all seven seats are in use. The remote seat folding on all but the entry-level model is a neat touch.

And space in the front is good, with a light and airy feel. A medium-sized glovebox and door pockets all round help with storage, but the optional sliding central tunnel between the driver and passenger seems like a gimmick, and is rather flimsy, too.

Comfort  7/10

Smoother than the smaller Scenic

Considering it is only available with 20-inch wheels, the Grand Scenic has a surprisingly smooth ride; better even than the five-seat Scenic. True, it’s still a little firm over bigger bumps compared with the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, but it does a good job of ironing out smaller ruts and undulations.

Road and wind noise are entirely acceptable, and whether you go for the 1.2-litre petrol or one of the diesels (1.5- and 1.6-litre options are available) they are as quiet as anything you can buy in the Renault’s rivals.

The comfortable seats have plenty of adjustment, as does the steering wheel, so you shouldn’t struggle to find a good driving position.

Dashboard layout  7/10

Portrait touchscreen looks neat, but could be slicker to use

The Grand Scenic uses a digital screen instead of traditional dials. It looks smart, although the graphics aren’t as slick as you’ll find in an Audi or Volkswagen. The same can be said of the central touchscreen, which is used to operate most of the car’s functions, including the satnav and stereo. Go for one of the top-spec models and its portrait layout helps it to stand out from the crowd, although again it’s not as slick to use as the best in class. Unlike Citroen, Renault has at least included separate buttons for most of the heater controls.

Build quality feels generally good, although some of the plastics lower down in the car are fairly scratchy to the touch.

Easy to drive 7/10

Performs solidly here

The Grand Scenic’s bold design results in restricted over-the-shoulder visibility, so the optional blind spot monitors are a sensible upgrade. The view out of the front is much better thanks to the split windscreen pillars, and the controls are reasonably weighted, including a well-defined biting point for the clutch.

The 1.2-litre petrol engine is fine for driving around town, but runs out of puff a little too easily with the car fully loaded on the motorway. As such, we’d recommend one of the diesels, which allow you to make decent progress. For the most part the optional automatic gearbox works smoothly enough for you not to notice it, but can occasionally be slow to respond when you put your foot down.
