Dongfeng Nissan’s car brand Venucia wants to wow
visitors at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show with a new concept car called X.
The sleek looking study sports an imposing front
grille, slim headlamps, a clean profile and large wheels. The rear end is
barely visible in the images released by Nissan, but it appears to be very
Range Rover-ish.
Venucia still has to detail the the new X Concept,
as at the time of writing, we cannot tell you if it uses an internal combustion
engine, a hybridized powertrain or an electric motor.
Joining the SUV study in Beijing is an updated
variant of the T90. Previewed by the Venucia VOW Concept three years ago, the
2019 model remains identical on the outside, but adds a new two-tone interior
and a different infotainment system, with a larger screen. Other features
include smartphone connectivity, wi-fi hotspot, voice commands and navigation
system.
The China-only model is
equipped with “advanced safety technologies”, according to the automaker, and a
new turbocharged engine whose specs remain unknown. Still, it should be a
welcomed departure from the previous naturally aspirated 2.0-liter unit that powers
the current iteration, which works together with a standard CVT.
