Nissan patents a new Venucia-badged CUV for China

Nissan Motor Company has submitted the photos and specifications of the Venucia V-Online crossover to the China Patent Office, so let’s have a closer look at it.

Nissan co-founded the Venucia brand with Dongfeng eleven years ago. A number of Nissan-engined cars are sold in China under this badge, including the compact-sized D60 sedan based on the Nissan Sentra, the SUVs T60, T70 (Qashqai) and T90 (see video), the M50V van, and a few electric cars.

While the marque primarily specializes in affordable cars, the V-Online seems a fair bit more premium than the rest. Note the sporty trim all around, sophisticated lines, a huge radiator grille, a spoiler, and LED taillights spanning the entire rear. The roof can be either black or color-matched to the rest of the body.

The car is 4,562 mm long with 2.7 meters between the axles, which prompts an assumption that it might be using the CMF-C/D platform of the Nissan X-Trail. Powering it is a 1.5-liter turbo rated at 190 PS (187 hp / 140 kW). Fuel consumption is specified at 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers, which is pretty low.

We will learn more when the premiere takes place. Sales should start later this year, and all prices remain to be announced.
