In terms of Japanese 7-seat SUV, GAC Toyota Highlander is absolutely the "overlord". Even its "close brother", FAW Toyota Crown Lufang, should be respected. However, a new challenger has entered the arena. It is Dongfeng Nissan Land Exploration. Whether it's design, power, size, space, number of seats, or even brand power, they are all pointed at each other. How about the daily practicability of the 2024 Dongfeng Nissan Land Rover (hereinafter referred to as Nissan Land Rover)? This issue of Daily Practicality Test Report is for you.
Test vehicle: 2024 Dongfeng Nissan Tanlu 380VC-TURBO two drive smart version, 7 seats
Official guide price: 259800 yuan
1、 Functional configuration test link
The evaluation vehicle is equipped with front keyless entry function. According to the actual measurement, the driver needs to carry the key, and then reach the door handle to sense the unlocking. After several tests, this function is sensitive and has no failure. The one button start button in the car is set in front of the electronic gear lever, and the position is reasonable, so it is not easy to touch by mistake.
The rear compartment supports in car keys, outside car keys and remote key for electric opening. It also supports the memory function of the rear compartment position, which is highly practical. However, because this evaluation vehicle is a medium and low configuration vehicle, the induction opening function is not provided.
The opening switch of the engine compartment lid is located at the left lower part of the front of the driver's seat. When opening the engine compartment lid, you need to pull the switch inside the vehicle once, then pull the switch inside the engine compartment lid and lift it in the same direction. During the operation, the engine compartment cover is supported by bilateral hydraulic rods, which is stable and labor-saving.
For consumers, the threshold height to a certain extent determines the convenience of getting on and off. According to the measured results, the Nissan land detection threshold is 470 mm above the ground, which makes it a little difficult for drivers and passengers to get on and off the bus every day.
2、 Comfort configuration test link
In terms of seats, the key for electric adjustment of the front seat of Nissan Land Exploration is located on the side of the seat, and the position is reasonable. At the same time, the front seats of the evaluation vehicle provide a 3-gear seat heating function.
In the test of the driver's seat, the distance between the front end and the end of the driver's seat of Nissan Land Rover is 250mm, which is at the average level of the same level. The adjustable travel of the seat is wide.
The multi-function steering wheel supports manual up and down+fore and aft adjustment, the adjustable angle reaches 12.6 °, and the data level is at the upstream level of the same level; The front and rear adjustable distance is 40mm, and the data level is at the middle and downstream levels of the same level.
The second row seats and the third row seats of Nissan Land Rover are equipped with head restraints. Although the middle head restraints of the second row seats are low, they can be adjusted high and low. The third row seat headrests do not support adjustment, but the high longitudinal height ensures that it can provide adequate head support for passengers of different statures.
The front central armrest of Nissan Land Exploration is wrapped with leather, which is soft to touch. At the same time, although the armrest does not support adjustment, due to its large area, it can still provide sufficient support to the driver's elbow during driving, which shows good practicability.
3、 Multimedia configuration test link
In terms of the USB interface in the car, the front and rear seats of the Nissan Land Rover are equipped with two USB Type-C interfaces, the number of which is moderate, but the type of USB interface is slightly single. At the same time, the whole vehicle is also equipped with a 12V power supply, which is located in the front storage slot.
In addition, we tested the voltage and current of the USB interface. The voltage and current of the front/rear USB Type-C interface are roughly the same, which can reach about 5V and 1.9A respectively. The charging efficiency of the whole vehicle is excellent.
With the increasing popularity of intelligent car machines, more and more cars are equipped with intelligent voice assistants. For "intelligent voice system", we will judge the performance of voice interaction system in terms of voice recognition rate, response speed and controllable functions through the following four fixed scripts.
1. I'm a little cold/I'm a little hot
2. Open the window/open the driver's window/open the sunroof
3. I want to listen to "XXXX" (song name)
4. I'm going to Lunyang Mansion
According to the actual measurement, the intelligent voice system of Nissan Tanlu can recognize all the above commands, but the accuracy of voice recognition is average and the response speed is slow. Of course, this is related to the incomplete activation of the Internet of Vehicles system of the evaluation vehicle. Overall, the overall use experience is acceptable, but the degree of intelligence is relatively limited.
4、 Space configuration test link
As a space test closely related to consumers, the previous test drive article New Choice of Family Car Test Drive of 2024 Dongfeng Nissan We have already experienced its riding space, and this time we will evaluate the storage space and its convenience, which are also more accessible in daily life.
For the test of the use space in the car, it is only for the space within the reach of the front row, excluding the space to be opened such as the glove box and the central armrest box. The test method is to place all the following fixed items in each storage space in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space by the placement of the fixed items. The fixed objects selected for the test are: 2 bottles of regular size mineral water, 1 large screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 satchel, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella and 1 bag of regular size paper drawer.
According to the actual measurement, the above fixed items can be placed in proper positions. In summary, the number of storage spaces in the evaluation vehicle is large and the volume is considerable. For example, the central channel is hollowed out, and the front of the skylight control area is also equipped with a glasses box, greatly improving the space utilization.
The interior space of the rear compartment is regular, and the encroachment of the wheel arch can hardly be seen. At the same time, the third row seats support 4/6 ratio down, with excellent expansion ability. We also measured the basic value of the rear compartment, and the opening width is 1200mm; The opening length is 970mm; The depth of the rear compartment is 500mm; The vertical height between the rear compartment platform and the interior roof is 770mm.
5、 Security configuration test link
In the front and rear vision test of the vehicle, all the seats in the vehicle have been adjusted to the lowest state, and the measured data have some deviations from the driver's normal use, which is only for reference.
In the link of testing the front view, we used the pile barrel with a height of 70cm as the reference object, and then adjusted the distance until the top edge of the pile barrel can be seen in the main driver's seat. After the test, the final measured data of pile barrel and vehicle head is 4.5m, which is at the downstream level among the tested vehicles of the same level.
In the rear view test, the pile bucket is still fixed, and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be observed. According to the actual measurement, the rear vision distance is 25.5m, which is also at the downstream level among the tested vehicles of the same level. It can be seen that the front and rear blind areas of the car are too large.
When testing the field of vision of the exterior rear-view mirrors, first let the tester stand at 10m vertically from the left and right rear-view mirrors, then start moving to the left and right until they appear at the outermost edge of the rear-view mirrors on both sides, and measure their transverse distance. Then, the included angle angle of the rear-view mirror's field of vision can be obtained through formula calculation. The larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of the rear-view mirror; otherwise, the larger the blind area of the rear-view mirror.
The exterior rear-view mirrors on both sides of the evaluation vehicle are ordinary lenses without hyperbolic lenses. The measured result of the left exterior rear-view mirror is 25.2 °, which is at the average level among the tested vehicles of the same level. The right exterior rear-view mirror is 17.2 °, which is at the middle and downstream level among the tested models of the same level.
During the test, the reversing radar can sense the rear object at the farthest point of 1.3m, and the continuous beeping phase distance is 0.15m. Referring to previous test experience, the closer the continuous beeping stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily use habits. From the measured data, the continuous buzzer prompt distance of the evaluation vehicle differs greatly from the test experience value, so special attention should be paid when parking in a narrow area.
In terms of auxiliary image system, as the evaluation vehicle is a medium low configuration version, it only supports reversing image. At the same time, the image sharpness is general, and the surroundings look blurry due to lens distortion. Fortunately, the auxiliary parking line can rotate with the driving direction, which can help the driver to predict the direction of the vehicle.
In daily use, the vehicle often encounters turning or turning. At this time, the steering flexibility of the vehicle becomes very important. Know the road width required for your car to turn around in situ, and be able to know it well, so as to avoid dangerous situations such as scratching. According to the actual measurement, the minimum road width of the test vehicle turning in place is 11.2m, which is at the downstream level of the same level.
Dongfeng Nissan has provided interior handles above the four doors of the probe, which shows excellent performance. The handle in the car is very necessary for people with mobility problems, and can also play a certain role in assisting passengers to ride safely on bumpy roads.
Summary:
It is not difficult to find that the performance of the 2024 Dongfeng Nissan in land exploration is somewhat unsatisfactory. A large part of the reason is that this evaluation vehicle is a mid low configuration version, such as the front radar, 360 ° panoramic image, inductive trunk, front seat ventilation and other functions are not equipped, which affects the test results. However, under this disadvantage, its space performance is still strong, and the details that are easy to be "reduced", such as the double hydraulic support rods of the engine compartment lid and the four top handles in the car, have not been ignored, which shows its sincerity. In addition, the car also has some common problems on SUVs of this size, such as poor visibility. I hope this can be solved by adding streaming media rear-view mirrors and other means.
