BEIJING — Nissan has pulled the wraps off its redesigned Teana at the 2008 Beijing Auto Show. It's a premium sedan that was previewed at last fall's Tokyo show in the Intima concept. The new Teana goes on sale later this year in China, Japan and other Asian markets.
The big front-wheel-drive, five-passenger sedan is being offered in most markets with a choice of two DOHC V6 engines, displacing 2.5 and 3.5 liters, respectively, and mated to Nissan's Xtronic continuously variable transmission. For China, the Teana also can be ordered with a DOHC 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.
It appears that Nissan has no immediate plans to market the Teana in North America, which gets a redesigned Maxima sedan later this year.
What this means to you: This gorgeous sedan is so ritzy, it would probably make a better Infiniti — if only the power went to the rear wheels. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
