Our fourth set of local spyshots of the yet-to-be-launched L33 Nissan Teana comes from reader Wan Rafiuddin, who spotted the sleek D-segment sedan in Kota Damansara, casually parked in the open.
Like the covered car sighted in Melaka a full year ago, this one’s wearing 215/55 R17 alloys. The cars we saw in Rawang and near Sungai Choh both had 215/60 R16 five-twin spoke alloys. Looks like there’ll be two variants for us.
Tan Chong has confirmed five new Nissan models for this year, and the Teana is set to be one of them. You should be able to choose between a 136 hp/190 Nm 2.0 litre MR20DE and a 173 hp/234 Nm 2.5 litre QR25DE – both four-cylinder engines are mated to a CVT. Yup, no more V6.
While we await its launch with bated breath, see the Thai-market car, and read our brief driving impressions of the Teana 2.5 from the Nissan 360 event in California.
