Dongfeng Nissan a new generation? Qijun will be made in China next year, and as another main SUV model of Nissan, hackers will soon be replaced.

hacker is one of the best-selling SUV models of Dongfeng Nissan in China market. Although its model has a short history and only experienced two generations of development, it has made important sales contributions to Dongfeng Nissan.

data show that the cumulative sales volume of Dongfeng Nissan from January to September 22 was 87,594 vehicles, down 1.8% year-on-year. Among them, the cumulative sales volume of hackers from January to September was 12,728 vehicles, down 2.6% year-on-year; Qijun's cumulative sales volume from January to September was 114,85 vehicles, down 28% year-on-year. The cumulative sales volume of Sylphy from January to September was 357,325 vehicles, up 12.5% year-on-year. It can be seen that the decline in sales of Dongfeng Nissan is not unrelated to the weakness of hackers and Qijun.

in p>219, the sales of hacker and Qijun remained stable in the top five of the joint venture SUV sales list. The most direct relationship between their double decline in 22 is that the product life cycle has come to an end, and the comprehensive product strength is not enough to counter the competing products that have been updated one after another.

Dongfeng Nissan Hacker, which is currently sold in China, is a second-generation model. It has been six years since it was listed in the European market in 214. According to the faster and faster replacement cycle of automobile products, a new generation of hacker models is coming soon. Recently, the imaginary map of the new generation of Nissan hackers and various road test spy photos have been launched. According to the news, the new generation of Nissan hackers is expected to be released in the first half of next year, and Nissan Motor has also made a product preview for the new generation of hackers.

before talking about the new generation of Nissan hackers, let's clarify the naming relationship of hackers. Hackers are named Qashqai in the European market and Rouge in the North American market. Sport。 Dongfeng Nissan hacker's English name is Qashqai, so the hackers currently sold are closer to European models. However, with Nissan cutting its product line and introducing more global models, the product planning of a new generation of hackers began to change slightly. Its shape design will continue the design of the American standard Nissan Rouge, because Rouge and Rouge? Sport belongs to the same product line. Qijun adopts the English name of X-TRAIL products in European and China markets, and the new generation models have been identified as the new generation Rouge of American regulations. Therefore, in appearance, a new generation of hackers will continue the design style of a new generation of Qijun. Instead of the current Dongfeng Nissan Qijun and hacker, you can clearly distinguish the two cars at a glance.

By comparing the imaginary pictures of the new generation of Nissan hackers drawn by different overseas media and the spy photos of the new car road test, we can basically draw a conclusion. The new generation of hackers will adopt the "arrow-shaped" headlight shape, and the design style is very similar to that of the new generation of Qijun. At the same time, the front net will continue to use Nissan V-Motion? 2. design language style.

if you don't look at the taillights, I believe it will be difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish the difference between a new generation of hackers and a new generation of Qijun (the picture below shows a new generation of Qijun).

In the interior part, judging from the spy photos that have already flowed out, the new generation of hackers will also copy the interior layout of the new generation of Qijun.

in terms of configuration, the new car will have a dual-screen configuration, and it is expected that the high-profile model will be equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, and the standard size of the central control touch screen is 8 inches. Low-profile models will adopt the combination of traditional mechanical instrument panel and driving computer display screen. The new car will be equipped with the latest car system, which will support voice control, online navigation, the interconnection of Apple Carplay and Android Auto phones, multi-color indoor atmosphere lights, wireless charging and other configurations.

Like the new generation of Qijun, the new generation of hackers will be built on the CMF-C/D modular platform of Renault-Nissan Alliance, and the newly upgraded platform will bring better body rigidity and reduce weight to the new car.

in terms of body size, the new generation of hackers is expected to increase in size, and the wheelbase is expected to increase to about 268mm.

in terms of active safety, a new generation of Qijun will be equipped with Nissan ProPILOT? Assist driver assistance system, automatic emergency braking system, lane departure assistance, blind spot warning, ACC adaptive cruise system and other functions will be available.

In terms of power, the new generation of hackers will continue to use the combination of 2.L naturally aspirated engine and +CVT transmission, but the overseas version will add a 48V micro-hybrid system to slightly improve the power. The new generation of domestic hackers may still use the current powertrain, and CVT transmission will still become its weakness. In addition, a new generation of hackers is expected to have hybrid models equipped with Nissan e-POWER system.

In recent years, Nissan's business has experienced a sharp decline. In fiscal year 219, Nissan suffered a huge loss of 671.2 billion yen (about 44.5 billion yuan). After a series of internal chaos such as Carlos Ghosn's rebellion and Nishikawa Hiroshi's class, Nissan's performance has not changed. In the first quarter of fiscal year 22, Nissan's global sales fell by 5.5% year-on-year to 1.1741 trillion yen (about 77.3 billion yuan); The net loss was 285.6 billion yen (about 18.9 billion yuan).

The decline in sales volume is the main reason for Nissan's large losses in the first quarter of fiscal year 22. From April to June 22, Nissan's global sales volume was 643, vehicles, down 47.7% year-on-year. Among them, in North America, one of Nissan's two most important automobile markets, Nissan sold 177, vehicles, down 49.5% year-on-year; Japan, down 33.7%; Compared with the global sales of 4.93 million vehicles in 219 (down 1.6% from 218), the sales decline of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. in 22 has an expanding trend.

Nissan has regarded the China market as the last straw, and announced that it will increase its production capacity in China by 3% in 221. Nissan plans to establish new production lines with its joint venture partner Dongfeng Motor in Wuhan and Changzhou, Jiangsu, and expand its production base in China from the current four to six. This move will help Nissan increase its annual production capacity in China from the current 1.4 million to 1.8 million, thus surpassing Toyota and Honda, both fellow Japanese. In addition, Nissan plans to launch seven new models in the China market before 222, including the electric car Ariya.

At present, Nissan's main sales contribution in China market comes from Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy, which accounts for more than 4% of Dongfeng Nissan's total sales. Once the sales of Sylphy decline, it will be a disaster for Dongfeng Nissan's performance. Therefore, the performance of a new generation of hackers and a new generation of Qijun will determine Nissan's future development momentum in the China market. (Text: Louis9, He Wei)
