California ,- Let's try all. Trying all Nissan car models can make us more complete to assess all products.
In the show " Nissan 360 " which was held from August 19 to 15 September, the journalists were not only informed about the strategy of Nissan in the global marketplace now and through 2016 with the program " Power 88 " . Also described a breakthrough technology with evidence , either through some concept cars that are currently in development and " Autonomous Drive " .
The foreign journalists were given the opportunity to try out all 83 models are grouped into five categories , namely street cars are spread in the world ( street & world drive ) , high-powered cars ( high performance ) , commercial (commercial ) , explorers ( adventure ) , and the Autonomous for city and highway .
complete barriers
Journalist had felt all categories and this time it was reported that version adventure . Because , Nissan Motor Co. offers five models consist of the Fleet , Fronetier D40 , Patrol , Titan , and Xterra that everything can be tested at once with a single path . Incidentally , in a car that , in addition there are instructors , is also accompanied by colleagues from the tabloid media.
The tracks are designed not long , only taking 800 meters . However , very complete obstacle to proving the benefits of existing technologies in all the SUVs , maneuverability , power , and agility . Including having to pull a half ton load at high speed .
Journalist as the first driver to drive a Nissan Armada matic claimed as a premium SUV with a V8 engine capacity of 5.6 liters . Dengnan 317 PS power and 385 lb - ft Tosi , when the start had to subdue a 45-degree incline is very easy . So also down with a slope of 40 degrees , ytak have to stomp the brake , just hit the " nosedive car picture " , the pace is very slow vehicles down to the bottom .
The next challenge , through the " chicane " which has a slope of 40 degrees . Before entering , instructors ruled to suppress the " car tilted " , mobl keep creeping up slowly. Separated from it , the instructor asked to stop , then press the button that raises the front of the car on the LCD screen in the center dash . He commanded the road without having to look down the road , enough of the monitor screen .
On the front there is a narrow track that left side of the bamboo used is limited . Tyerdapat screen long line of yellow ( right ) and blue on the left . Driver has directed both sides of the car right on the line , when to the outside , the car will sink into the gutter .
After that , the passengers get off and move to the Frontier . Steering taken with colleagues from automotive tabloids hurdles bit lighter . Mixed market crashing car pile pebbles to prove groundclearance safe car plus a little lightweight double mound with a distance of 150 meters .
Hurdle then , Nissan Patrol attractive half-ton load is 200 meters . Journalist so the driver . When he dared to ask the instructor drove at high speed at a distance of 100 meters . After that , immediately welcomed the bend " S " . Here , Journalist asked to relax according to ability , most importantly set the appropriate power angle curves . Maneuver went smoothly , car power awake , and the burden is not drawn upside down .
Escaped it , moved again to the Nissan Titan . Here, the only obstacle in the form of pools of water half car body . Only , to get into the pool fairly steep , so steep outward . Before roads , instructors push button 4x4 is already integrated with the braking and engine power and do not have to ask stepped on the brakes . When was spraying , this SUV and new roads themselves a little added power when going up to the street .
Finally, a small group moved to Nissan Xterra that was designed for 0ff -road terrain . only , obstacle to test the 4.0L V6 engine -powered 261 PS is relatively mild . Stick with the automatic transmission - such as SUVs before - a fast track with a double bend . Here , Nissan wants to show that the Xterra Pro - 4X technology can go faster . Because , it comes standard 4WD system that can stop rear differential . Not surprisingly , when run over a double minor bumps , no rear wheel spin .
It is remarkable , brief but effective .
