A few days ago, Dongfeng Nissan Venucia brand officially listed and released 2023 Venucia D60, the new car only launched three models available, the price range of 88,800-99,800 yuan. The new car is equipped with the same HR16 engine as the SYLPHY, and is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The new car's competitor models are mainly Excelle GT, SYLPHY classic and Qin PLUS DM-i.
In terms of appearance, the new car still continues the appearance of the old model design, the front of its brand V-Galaxy Star family front design, the size of its grille is larger, and the shape of the headlights is also more "rugged", with the shape of the sports front surround design, the overall recognition is quite high. In fact, I think the car's front design is a little too "heavy", the overall visual effect is not very good.
The side shape of the car is more conventional, its waistline adopts an upward design, and the B-pillar and C-pillar are blacked out to enhance the sense of style. The rear of the car also adopts a similar design as the front, with a high center of gravity overall. The rear of the car is equipped with running tail lights and a hidden exhaust design to enhance the sense of class.
Compared to its competitors, this car's exterior design is actually a bit on the "old fashioned" side, and not like the SYLPHY classic and Qin PLUS DM-i exterior styling design, the front face are more low-lying styling design, looks quite sporty, more in line with the aesthetic standards of young consumers.
Inside, the new car also continues the interior layout of the old model, the car is equipped with a flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel, non-full LCD instrumentation, through the air vents and embedded central control screen, and all standard manual air conditioning. In addition, the new car also added a new blue and white interior design, to enhance some sense of style.
In fact, this car, like the SYLPHY Classic, is the main focus of the interior ride space. The car's body length is 4761mm and wheelbase is 2701mm, its body is a bit bigger than the SYLPHY classic. However, it is still smaller than the Qin PLUS DM-i body size. For reference, the Qin PLUS DM-i has a body length of 4765mm and a wheelbase of 2718mm.
In terms of configuration, this car comes standard with full airbags for the primary and secondary drivers, automatic parking, plastic steering wheel, tire pressure alarm, faux leather seats, front armrest, LED high and low beam, power adjustable exterior mirrors and manual air conditioning light configuration. The high end model still adds front side airbags, side air curtains, tire pressure display, reverse camera, fixed speed cruise control, single sunroof, intelligent remote key, 10-inch central control screen, keyless start, rear armrest, language recognition control system, Wi-Fi hotspot, daytime running lights, automatic headlights and rear air vent lights, etc. The overall level of configuration is comparable to that of the SYLPHY classic, and in individual aspects will be a bit higher.

The end of writing
Overall, the 2023 Venucia D60 is not very cost-effective, compared to its home SYLPHY classic, the two models have comparable configuration levels, but the starting price of the SYLPHY classic after the terminal discount has dropped to about 74,800 yuan. And compared to the Qin PLUS DM-i, the current Qin PLUS DM-i starting price of 99,800 yuan, although the price is higher, but the overall level of configuration is much higher, and also new energy models, can be purely electric driving, the overall economy is also greatly improved.
