Default 2008/2009 All New Nissan Teana

Nissan Launches New Teana Luxury Sedan

TOKYO (June 2, 2008)


The new Teana offers a number of significant “firsts” – including being the first Nissan model in the Japanese market to utilize the newly developed “D” platform and the first in its class to feature a stylish glass roof.
  • Graceful, Elegant Exterior Styling
    Bi-xenon headlights and Active AFS (Adaptive Front lighting System) are offered as a factory-installed option on the Teana 250XV and 350XV models.

    The Teana is offered in a choice of six attractive exterior colors, including the addition of Deep Amethyst Gray as an all-new Nissan color. All Teana body colors come standard with Nissan's Scratch Shield, which self-repairs minor scratch marks in the paint surface.
    A Relaxing, Artistic Interior With Wave-like Design Themes

    The seats feature a vibrational absorption urethane cushion material and are shaped so that the occupant's entire body is uniformly supported for enhanced ride comfort. The driver's seat incorporates an adjustable lumbar support mechanism that reduces the feeling of fatigue on long drives, while the front-passenger seat continues to offer the power ottoman that has been a popular comfort feature on the first-generation Teana.
    Teana’s new instrument panel design is highlighted by soft padding, which appears to “float” above the wood-grain paneling. The center cluster panel is integrated with the instrument panel, and the new center console design, which combines slope and wavelike cues, projects a rich three-dimensional image. Even the door trim imparts a comfortable, sofa-like image, while the armrest design projects the impression of abundant size and unity with the seats.
    Indirect lighting is thoughtfully provided in the center console and the door assist grips (excluding the driver's door) to illuminate the surrounding area. Even the door assist grips, while based on ergonomic principles, incorporate a wave-like line for a distinctly fresh look.
    Other interior features created for enhanced passenger relaxation include a front-seat ventilation system and large rear-seat headrests. (The front-seat ventilation system and large rear-seat headrests are factory-installed options, offered in a set together with genuine leather seats on the Teana 250XV and 350XV.)
    Teana is the first in its class to feature a stylish glass roof, extending the open, airy feeling of the interior to the rear-seat area. The new roof is made completely of glass and incorporates a flexible opening/closing mechanism. The front seat have a power glass roof and inner sunshades over both the front and rear seats open/close by motor power (standard on the 350XV and a factory-installed option on the 250XV, 250XL and 250XL FOUR.)
    In addition, Teana comes with an intelligent air-conditioning system featuring a one-touch clean air filtering function for improving the interior air quality at the touch of a button (standard on the 250XV and 350XV and a factory-installed option on all other models).
    Teana’s new Bose surround sound audio system is designed to deliver concert-hall-like sound quality. The multiple channels of this Bose-original digital surround sound system reproduce the sounds of musical instruments and singing voices with real, three-dimensional quality – as if listening to a live performance. Bose Centerpoint™* signal processing circuitry also reproduces two-channel asynchronous sound sources such as conventional CDs and DVDs in a 5.1-channel surround sound format for listening quality comparable to that of home theater systems.
  • Significantly Enhanced Performance and a Flat, Comfortable Ride
    The fundamental attributes of the new VQ25DE engine and the VQ35DE V6 engines have been thoroughly enhanced to deliver class-leading performance. The 2.5-liter VQ25DE engine generates maximum power of 136 kW (185 PS) at 6000 rpm and maximum torque of 232 N-m (23.7 kgm) at 4400 rpm.
    The larger 3.5-liter VQ35DE engine produces maximum power of 185 kW (252 PS) at 6000 rpm and maximum torque of 335 N-m (34.2 kgm) at 4400 rpm. Both of these VQ engines deliver 80% of their maximum torque at 1600 rpm for exceptional driving ease, combined with smooth, effortless revving to 6000 rpm for acceleration performance.
    The VQ engines utilize a six-point engine mounting system that better disperses engine torque-induced vibration and has lower spring constants for reduced engine noise during start-off acceleration.
    Both the VQ25DE and QR25DE engines operate on regular gasoline in consideration of better economy.
    All Teana models are fitted with Nissan's new XTRONIC CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) incorporating Adaptive Shift Control (ASC), a newly developed shift control system. ASC controls the shift timing according to the driver's personal driving style and the driving environment in order to optimize both power performance and fuel economy. The XTRONIC CVT used on the 3.5-liter-equipped models also includes a six-speed manual shift mode and features a synchro-rev control system that controls the throttle during a downshift to synchronize the engine speed with the transmission for smooth, responsive shifting.
    To help ensure high body stiffness, the Teana adopts an X-shaped cowl top structure for increased coupling stiffness with the instrument panel and a new joint member structure for greater coupling stiffness between the upper and lower structures. Along with the extensive use of a high grade of ultra-high tensile steel (980 MPa class), the body has a multiple load path construction that better absorbs and disperses impact energy. This further evolution of Nissan's high-strength Zone Body achieves both enhanced crashworthiness and weight savings.
    Teana’s newly developed front suspension incorporates shock absorbers with built-in rebound springs that suppress the extension stroke during body roll to provide stable cornering performance. A newly developed multi-link suspension is used at the rear. Additionally, the shock absorbers are positioned closer to the tires to provide excellent driving stability, even at a lower level of damping force.
    Extra attention was also paid to the control of noise, vibration and harshness. Low interior noise levels are achieved through effective isolation of noise outside the cabin by applying paint sealer and foam materials to block tiny holes and gaps in the body structure and by optimally positioning sound-absorbing materials.
  • Advanced Safety and Environmental Technologies
    The new Teana utilizes a number of advanced safety and environmental technologies. For enhanced driving convenience, the Teana comes with a side blind-spot monitor, which helps provides visual assistance by reducing the left front blind spot when positioning the car alongside the curb, parking or meeting oncoming traffic on a narrow road. Teana also features a back-view monitor, which uses a small CCD camera to take a color picture of the area behind the car for display on the navigation system monitor. Both monitor systems are standard on the 250XV and 350 XV and are offered in a set with the navigation system as a factory-installed option on all other models.
    Teana’s advanced safety systems include:
    • VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) including TCS (Traction Control System) functionality (standard on 350XV and a factory-installed option on the 250XV)
    • Low-friction seatbelts in all seat positions
    • Three-point ELR rear seatbelts for three passengers (with self-standing buckles)
    • Driver's seatbelt with double pretensioners (shoulder/lap belts)
    • Front seatbelt with pretensioner and two-stage load limiter
    • High-strength Zone Body construction for high safety
    • Impact-energy-absorbing body structure for mitigating pedestrian injuries
    • SRS air bag systems for the driver and front passenger
    • SRS side air bag systems for the driver and front passenger*1
    • SRS curtain air bag systems*2
    • Front-seat Active Head Restraints
    Teana is also designed with an awareness and sensitivity toward the environment. For example:
    • QR25DE engine models achieve fuel economy 5% higher than Japan's 2010 fuel economy standards
    • VQ25DE engine models achieve fuel economy 5% higher than Japan's 2010 fuel economy standards when fitted with optional equipment so that the vehicle weight is 1,520 kg
    • U-LEV certification is achieved for all models by emitting 50% fewer exhaust emissions than Japan's 2005 exhaust emission standards
    • Achieves a recyclability rate of more than 95% by weight (as calculated according to the guideline adopted by Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. in 1998 concerning the definition and calculation method of the recyclability rate of new cars)
    • A reduction of interior volatile organic compounds (VOC)
    • A fuel economy indication function

  • Hopefully Nissan Motor Philippines would release this model here EARLY(and not LATER by 2 years or so) to have a competent and able challenger against the ALL NEW MAZDA 6, ALL NEW HONDA ACCORD, and the TOYOTA CAMRY.

You're right! Let's have our fingers crossed.

Anyway, the second generation teana looks nice, I mean, the glass roof looks unique! Bet the 2.5 variant is gonna be enough, but the 3.5 variant should be great.

Knowing NMPI, they probably have no intention to bring this car anytime soon.... I mean, look at the X-Trail. The new model has been out for quite a while now yet, they continue to market the previous gen model here.

It's quite a pity really, as a J31 Nissan Teana owner, i can attest that it's a great car. I've seen the new Teana in Japan... It can readily compete amongst the likes of the Camry and Accord in terms of comfort, design, and perhaps performance.

There's a left hand drive version of the new Teana that's being sold in Ukraine and Russia - CBU from Japan. Why can't Nissan bring it here?

NMPI will surely release a new sentra next year, but about the new Teana... there are still no news. Mas maganda kapag binago nila ang line up nila next year, surely marami na agad ang magninissan. Dapat din nilang dagdagan ang mga accesory sa interior, masyado kasing blond....

OT: is that confirmed that NMPI will release a new Sentra? based on track record, Yulon designs ang fina-follow ng NMPI kaya wala tayo ng C platform series.. Where did you get the news?

ah ok.. just got my Sentra last August and the SA says they don't see any plans of release anytime soon, due to the fact that newer models would be more pricey and given our economic status, which may become worse next year, they may continue with the current model indefinitely.

Also, the Teana will reman as it is for a long time. It's fairly new in the Philippine market and they said that it may stay as it is for the next year or two.

Sourced from Japan ang current Teana rito kaya possible na palitan na nila to..

Yung Sentra GX will stay but the Sentra will be replaced by two new cars which is the Tiida Sedan and Slyphy..
