It appears that the Nissan Teana will not be replacing the aging Nissan Cefiro after all. Edaran Tan Chong Motor is somehow placing the Teana in the top of the line Japanese D-segment CBU segment, occupied currently by the lone Honda Accord 3.0 V6. The Nissan Teana will be fully imported from Thailand and will go for RM230,000 OTR.
RM230,000 will buy you a generally nice looking car, however it seems overpriced for what it is. The Toyota Camry 2.4, also a CBU from Thailand, goes for only RM168,303.00, making it seem like a bargain. It also makes you wonder why the Teana has to be priced the way it is now, when Toyota can get the Camry in for much cheaper.
The Honda Accord 3.0 V6 CBU also comes from Thailand, and goes for RM212,800, even cheaper than the Teana V6 2.3L! It also has bigger and more powerful engine, plus a sunroof, but the Teana has 6 airbags while the Accord 3.0 V6 only has 4. However, the Teana also still uses a 4-speed auto, while rivals have gone 5 speeds.
The Teana could give it’s competitors an edge and end up being somewhat worth it in terms of ride and handling though, but I can’t exactly do a comparison looking at spec sheets so we’ll have to leave it at this for the moment. There must be some reason why the Teana ended up being priced like this, but I don’t know why.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments largely express disappointment and skepticism about the RM230,000 price tag for the Nissan Teana, with many feeling it is overpriced compared to similar models like Camry, Accord, and Azera. Several commenters mention that the car is outdated in design and technology, and some believe Nissan Malaysia's pricing strategy is aimed at targeting corporate or high-end buyers rather than regular consumers. Others compare the Teana unfavorably to cheaper or more modern competitors and criticize the lack of promotion and late market entry. A few users appreciate the car's engine performance from tests in Taiwan and China but feel its high price diminishes its value. Overall, the sentiment is that the Teana is not a good buy at its current price, with many predicting poor sales.
