Nissan to debut 2008 Teana, NV200, Pivo 2 at Beijing auto show

Shanghai, April 2 (Gasgoo.com) Nissan is set to debut one new Teana and two concepts including Nissan NV200 and Pivo 2 at the 2008 Beijing Auto Show that will start on April 18th.

By launching this all new Teana, Nissan hopes to reverse sliding sales of the Teana model in China. Last year, Dongfeng Nissan, Nissan's joint venture in China, produced and sold 37,803 Teana vehicles, a big decrease from the 45,629 units in 2006.

This 2008 Teana model will sell in China, Japan in September 2008, in other Asian markets as well as Europe starting early 2009. It is reported to be equipped with VQ25HR and VQ35HR engines mounted with 5 speed automatic transmission.

The NV200 is aimed at small business professionals that are constantly on the move. It sits on a usefully long 2820mm wheelbase and is 1840mm tall, providing a practical, roomy load space.

The interior is a rolling job site, with everything from equipment-specific storage to a full computer workstation. NV200 also features an environmentally friendly clean diesel engine, according to Nissan's press release.

The most important features of this Nissan Pivo 2 concept car are: a robotic agent to share every trip, a 360 degree turning cabin and 90 degrees turning wheels.
