China’s Dongfeng announced the imminent start of production of the new Paladin SUV. According to insiders, the model is a modified version of the Nissan Terra, which the Japanese once thought to bring. We are sure that now the Russians will definitely see the novelty, but already under the name of Paladin.
Dongfeng chose a fairly easy path. According to the portal AutoHome.com.cn, the engineers took as a basis the Nissan Terra, which has been assembled by the Zhengzhou Nissan joint venture since 2018, and upgraded the model.
A refreshed appearance is a trifle. The main thing is under the hood. The site of the former 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with a yield of 193 liters. Of. occupied a Mitsubishi-manufactured 2-liter unit rated at 228 horsepower. Of. By the way, it is also collected in China. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Well, since this is a frame, the transfer case, interwheel locks and four-wheel drive are not gone.
The quality of finishing materials promises an average level. And that’s all this car needs. A large 12-inch multimedia touchscreen monitor will be placed in the middle of the front panel.
The premiere of “Paladin” should take place in China in the near future. As for Russia, Dongfeng does not sell SUVs in our country. The latest novelty is the Shine Max sedan, a possible replacement for the Toyota Camry. Therefore, we can assume that the Chinese will bring all-wheel drive to expand the lineup. However, this will not happen until early next year.
