Nissan Teana
Why this model
What makes the Nissan Teana worth importing
Variable compression engine
The VC-Turbo physically changes its compression ratio while running, switching between efficiency and power. It is the only production engine that does this, and it is genuinely clever engineering.
252 hp in a comfortable sedan
185 kW and 370 Nm gives performance well beyond the class norm, in a car otherwise tuned for comfort rather than sport.
Nissan's comfort reputation
The Teana and Altima have long been known for seat comfort and ride quality above their price class — the qualities that matter for chauffeur and long-distance use.
Two engine tunes for different duties
The 142 hp base engine suits taxi and fleet work with lower duty and running costs; the VC-Turbo serves private and executive buyers.

Nissan Teana technical data
Manufacturer figures for the China-market car. Equipment and certification vary by trim, production batch and destination — we confirm the exact build sheet before the order is placed.

A dash means the manufacturer does not publish that figure for this version — we do not estimate it. Range standards differ: CLTC and NEDC read higher than WLTP for the same car, so compare like with like when quoting against a European rival.

About this model
Where the Nissan Teana sits in the market
The Teana is Nissan's mid-size sedan for China, closely related to the North American Altima. It offers the 2.0-litre VC-Turbo variable-compression engine producing 252 hp and 370 Nm, alongside a lower-output naturally aspirated 2.0-litre of around 142 hp specific to China, both through a CVT.
Nissan's long-standing strength in this class is comfort — the zero-gravity seats and ride quality have consistently been rated above the price point, which matters for chauffeur, executive fleet and long-distance private use. The two engine tunes cover different commercial situations: the base engine for taxi fleets where duty and fuel cost decide, the VC-Turbo for buyers who want performance. It is a China-market car, so parallel-export terms apply.
The Chinese Teana is closely related to the Nissan Altima sold in North America. China-specification cars include a lower-output base engine of around 142 hp alongside the VC-Turbo.
Before you order
What an importer must know about the Nissan Teana
LHD; right-hand-drive China-built Teana is not documented. Nissan does not export the Chinese version officially, so parallel-export applies with no dealer warranty. Note the China-market base engine at around 142 hp is considerably less powerful than the VC-Turbo and is not offered in most other markets — a customer expecting Altima performance would be disappointed by it, so specify the engine explicitly. Nissan builds the Altima in North America, so compare origins if that is relevant to your destination.
